Elise Newton is an emerging author based in Sydney for whom writing has always remained a deep seeded ambition despite pursuing other paths in her professional career. With a Master of Human Rights she is passionate about international politics but finds that her writing centres on more intimate sketches of the people that move in and out of her life and the places she has travelled. Her influences include Sherwood Anderson, J.D. Salinger, William Faulkner and John Steinbeck.
