自我介紹

關於我：

I'm a short-story writer, novelist and playwright. A collection of my short stories, Balancing on the Edge of the World, is published by the fabulous Salt Publishing. In late 2009, Salt will publish my new novel, Too Many Magpies.

REVIEWS OF BALANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD:

'A stunning debut collection' - The Short Review. Read the whole review here

'What makes Elizabeth Baines' collection so brilliant ... is that she perfectly plays with both the page-turning quality of novel's fiction, and a crafted beauty you usually only associate with verse... They're funny, and moving, and thoughtful... Read and be enchanted.' - Rob Shearman. full review here

'Elizabeth Baines has led me through a myriad of seemingly ordinary moments and invested them with extraordinary power - Dovegreyreader Read the whole review

'Elizabeth Baines' speciality is unpacking relationships [and she is] is wincingly funny about the creative process ... both lyrical and clear-sighted. ...Enormous aplomb ...Very well-written.' - Adele Geras. Read the whole review

OTHER RECENT AND FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS:

A new short story, 'Used to Be', appears in Carve Magazine as the third prizewinner of the The Raymond Carver short story competition

Another new story, 'Possibility', appears in the first issue of Horizon Review and yet another, 'The Choice Chamber', will appear in Issue 2, due out February 28th

The folks in my dreams - they're so weird, so clever (like they turn up suddenly and they'll have been there all along) - oh, that's right, I already know them in life...

    Hi there!
    My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
    Thanks and take care,
    Michael

    Thank you Elizabeth,
    Your book sounds intriging; very honered that you accepted my friendship. Keep up the great writing. My writing is a bit bizzare, but I hope you'll read some of the excerps, from my book, on my blog. Wish you the best!!!... Scott

    Nice to meet you. Good luck with 'Balancing on the Edge of the World' - I'm glad to see short story writing gaining recognition as it's often overlooked.

    Hi
    I read your stories and just wanted to say I especially like all the ones near the end - 'Bread', 'Into the night', 'Conundrum', 'The way to behave' (excellent..) but most of all 'Who's singing'(I have a friend just like Lucy..).

    love

    Thanks for your help in blogland. I use this space more than that - music addict and there's so much on here. Worse things to be addicted to, I suppose...
