The Writer: Adele Smaill

Based in Australia, Adele is a migrant from New Zealand, who has also lived in the U.S. and the U.K. While completing her Ph.D in musicology at the University of Michigan, she became involved in union activism - an experience that led to U.K.-based work as a data analyst specialising in social/economic inclusion, public health and migration. Adele writes thrillers, often with migration and borders in the mix. She focuses on grounded stories, full of suspense and threat, with characters that have real dirt under their nails and secrets to keep. She is a 2024 Academy Nicholl finalist with her second feature, NO GHOSTS TONIGHT. Go to bio
