Louise Powell is a contemporary fiction writer and cultural programmer whose work explores memory, place, and the emotional landscapes of everyday life. Drawing on her background in arts curation and community storytelling, she creates writing that blends observation with intimacy, often focusing on overlooked voices and small, defining moments.

Alongside her literary practice, she has worked across independent publishing and cultural projects that champion emerging writers and local creative communities. Her work sits between fiction and essay, balancing clarity, lyricism and a strong sense of voice.

She is a very special addition to Deer Shed this year!
