I write about autistic girls finding out who they are and what makes them happy, because I'm an autistic girl trying to find out who she is and what makes her happy.

I don't read reviews, as they are for readers, but I'm grateful to any and everyone who engages with my work, on the page or on the screen. My Young Adult Romance debut is called Some Like It Cold in it will be published on the 3rd of October. Official professional shiz below:

Hidden Cove Hearts by Coral Hart
"The author has flat-out admitted in an NYT article that she cares only about churning out as many books as she can, that she uses AI to do it, and that she sees this whole thing as a "race" -- to earn money, of course.
Reject this slop entirely." Read more of this review »

Quotes by Elle McNicoll  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“People aren't like books. A familiar book is always the same, always comforting and full of the same words and pictures. A familiar person can be new and challenging, no matter how many times you try to read them.”
― Elle McNicoll, A Kind of Spark

“I have every right to be here. As me. Exactly as I am. I might be different to you, I might be different to every person in this room, but you have no more of a right to exist than I do. You don't get to pick and choose which bits of me are fine. All of me is fine.”
― Elle McNicoll, Show Us Who You Are

“She's functioning - don't make that face, it's a perfectly appropriate medical term - she's functioning and I thought people might like to see that. She has it mild, Keedie. Like you."
"It's mild to you!" Keedie shouts and I flinch, not used to hearing her raise her voice. "It's mild to you and every other heartless soul in this village, Nina, it's not mild to me. It's not mild to Addie! It's mild to you because we make it so, at great personal cost!”
― Elle McNicoll, A Kind of Spark
