Laura Evans was born in the north of England and grew up in the Midlands. As an author and poet, she is drawn to characters and settings that aren’t quite as they seem – places with an edge of the uncanny, or people trying to find their space in the world – as well as stories that centre on the female experience and women’s evolving self-identities, particularly regarding motherhood. Her first novel, a literary story of obsessive queer love and witchcraft set in 1930s Suffolk, is scheduled for publication in 2026.
