British-Italian Silvia Saunders has an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her debut novel, Homesick, won the Comedy Women in Print Unpublished Prize 2023. Originally from Nuneaton, birthplace of George Eliot, Silvia is ashamed to admit that she hasn’t read a single one of Eliot’s books – not even the skinny ones like Silas Marner. She lives in East London with her boyfriend and all her books.
