Elise Thornthwaite

Elise Thornthwaite is a Gamilaraay woman, emerging writer, and mother originally from New South Wales who now lives in Milikapiti on the Tiwi Islands. She writes poetry, young adult fiction, and maintains a blog alongside her creative practice. Her work explores themes of home, identity, motherhood, and belonging, and is shaped by place, community, and storytelling. Balancing writing with life as a stay-at-home mum, she can often be found working on poems, essays, and manuscripts during naptimes and in the quiet moments between family life.
