The Borough of Ealing is that part of west London which borders Chiswick and includes Acton, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall. With the help of The Pitshanger Bookshop and Ealing Borough Archivist and author Jonathan Oates we’ve compiled a list of published writers who have lived, worked or been educated in the borough or have written books set in the area.
To avoid double-counting, we’ve excluded writers who live in the Chiswick W4 part of the Borough of Ealing: these appear on the Chiswick Writers pages. Where there’s information online about an author you’ll see that you can click on their name. If there’s someone we’ve missed, please let us know by emailing admin@chiswickbookfestival.net. This page lists authors of adult and children’s fiction, and poetry. For non-fiction click here. Here’s our timeline of Ealing authors.
