Lindsey Zelvin

Lindsey is a writer and practice-based PhD student in narrative nonfiction. She completed her undergraduate degree in America, receiving a BA in English with Honours at the College of Wooster, before traveling across the pond for her Master's in Creative Writing with English Literary Studies at Lancaster University.

Lindsey is a prose writer whose research examines representations of mental illness in literature. Her practice-based PhD draws on narratology, medical humanities, memoir and trauma theory in order to craft a methodology for approaching a more authentic and ethical representation of chronic mental illness within her own memoir.

Her broad research interests include narratology, medical humanities, chronic illness narratives, mental health narratives, memoir, narrative nonfiction and postmodernism.

She is currently on a CHASE placement at the Open Library of Humanities.
