Ellery Lamm
Ellery Lamm has a Creative Writing degree from the University of Victoria, British Columbia in Canada.
As well as writing plays, poetry and novels, Ellery combines audio-storytelling and filmmaking. She has won numerous awards including Best Animation at the Montreal World Film Festival for her claymation short.
She recently graduated from the Transom Story Workshop where she produced radio stories with guest teachers including Ira Glass.
Ellery is also obsessed with roller derby (she isn't sure that information is pertinent for this bio, but felt like she needed to include a quirky fun-fact). She's also painfully aware that she's writing in the third person right now, but what else are you supposed to do?
