Elizabeth Ducie

Elizabeth came late to creative writing, after a long career as a consultant and technical writer in the international pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Under the Chudleigh Phoenix Publications imprint, she has published nine novels, six books of short stories (four solo collections and two co-authored with a friend). Her debut novel, Gorgito’s Ice Rink, was Runner-Up in the 2015 Self-Published Book of the Year Awards. She also writes, coaches, and teaches on Author Business Foundations, providing indie authors with the skills they need to run their own businesses and publish independently. In 2026 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Women in Publishing Summit. She is currently writing #5 in the Coombesford Chronicles series of cosy crime set in Devon.
