Author photo of Elle Tesch. A young woman stands in a sunny forest, the trees blurred. Her shoulder-length light brown hair is slightly curled; she wears a black high-necked sweater. She is looking at the camera with a close-mouth pink lipstick smile

Elle Tesch has lived just east of Vancouver, British Columbia her entire life. Surrounded by forests and mountains, it was inevitable that she would daydream about what might lurk in those trees. She twists places she loves and writes what she knows best: hungry monsters, casually cruel villains, and ace-spec girls in the stories they deserve.

Elle is the author of the forthcoming novel WHAT WAKES THE BELLS, publishing March 11, 2025 from Feiwel & Friends.

When not writing, Elle can be found reading whatever she can get her hands on, wrestling with her current cross-stitch project, or re-watching Pride & Prejudice (2005) for the 72nd time.
