I’m Hattie Crisell, a writer based in London. My book, In Writing: Conversations on Inspiration, Perspiration and Creative Desperation, was published by Granta Books in November 2024. I produce and host the podcast In Writing with Hattie Crisell, interviewing writers of all kinds in their studies.
I’m a freelance journalist, and a contributing editor of Grazia magazine. I have previously been acting features director of Grazia and acting fashion editor of The Times. I’ve also written for Bustle, Elle, Vogue, You, The Telegraph, The Evening Standard and The Sunday Times Style, among others.
