Emily Elgar is a published author of fiction.

She grew up in the Cotswolds. She then enrolled in Edinburgh University as a student. After that, she worked in Southern Africa as a travel writer. She was also the events coordinator in Istanbul in New York for an important international NGO. She is married to her husband and they live together in Lewes in East Sussex with their son. She also works there as part of a national charity as a support worker for vulnerable women.

Emily says that she first began to take her writing seriously upon being accepted into a writing program. In 2012, Elgar was accepted into a novel writing course held by Faber Academy. She was working in London as a support worker at that time, helping female and male as well as transgender individuals working as sex workers.

Elgar states that she decided to take the course not to look for a change in her career but because of her love of writing. She first began writing a significant piece not long after early in the morning. It would become the preface to If You Knew Her, the first fictional novel to be published from this author. She says that right away it was different from what she had wrote before.

Eglar met with her agent not long after the conclusion of the writing course. An early draft of the novel was sent to publishers and it wasn’t too long before someone was interested. In 2014 the author signed a contract and then set out to rewrite the book. The novel would finally come out in 2017 to reading audiences in the United States and the United Kingdom. The book was received well and ended up being translated into several other languages.

She would then get started on her second book, which would become Grace Is Gone. Elgar began writing the novel while pregnant with her son, and being on a deadline helped to keep her motivated to write and get it done. She says that she is proud of the various moral questions that are focused on in the book, such as if there is such a thing as justified crime, how community can influence as well as confuse things, the relevance of penal justice to various cases, and more. She has enjoyed exploring the questions within the context of this suspenseful book.
