Leanne Egan

Leanne Egan (they/them) is a queer non-binary author. While they were born and raised in Liverpool, their home is scattered across the country. They moved to Newcastle to study for their BA in English Literature with Creative Writing, and left part of their heart there with their found family when they moved to London to complete their MA in Publishing.

Leanne’s upcoming book, LOVER BIRDS (2024, Harper Fire), is a rom-com about love in all its forms – the love they have love for their home city, the chaotic and uniquely intense love that can only be shared by a group of teenage girls, the kinds of love that can be found in the most unexpected places – and most importantly, it is about learning to love the messy, embarrassing parts of yourself.

Their audio drama, Tell No Tales (published as Wasting Company Time Productions, distributed by Twin Strangers Productions) is a compassionate take on ghost stories. The slowly unravelling plot focuses on Leo Quinn’s efforts to fight back against the unethical business practices of the ghost-removal company they work for. Each episode brings a new ghost with new tales to tell, with an emphasis on grief, loss, and the love we have for the people and places we leave behind.

When not writing for either of these mediums, Leanne can usually be found sound-designing for Tell No Tales, day-dreaming about future projects (which they are NOT allowed to do until they’ve made more progess on their current WIPs, but that doesn’t stop them) or voice acting for numerous audio dramas, including Eeler’s Choice, Syntax, and the upcoming Forged Bonds. They probably had a good night’s sleep once or twice, but if they did, they don’t remember it. It must have been nice, though.
