Welcome, book lover.

author Elle Kirkpatrick

I’m Elle, a writer from Australia. I packed up my bags and left for London 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve travelled around Europe, written a novel, moved to Germany, and drunk a lot of coffee.

zu Hause ✨ My balcony’s getting some sunshine, my plants are getting some of that sweet sweet lovin’, and my books are sitting pretty on this shelf, huh? 📚🌿 . p.s. Who else is watching the Women’s World Cup this summer? 🍺⚽️☀️ . Currently sat on the sofa with a beer watching football (me! watching football!) but I’m pretty excited to support women’s sport, and I absolutely loved last summer spent in beer gardens doing the same for the men’s. Sadly the women’s cup isn’t being shown on big screens around the city, but if we all watch it on the telly this year, maybe next time they’ll start showing it live in beer gardens? . 💪🏼⚽️🤞🏻 Of course I’m going for the Aussie Matildas, but I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for the girls from my second homes, Germany and England, so it was nice to see the Germans win today 🍻🇩🇪
When will my husband return from war?? . . . ✨ hello june ✨ We’re deep into our first heat wave of the year here in Berlin, with a 33 degree day today, broken by a tumultuous storm this eve. I love how that first clap of thunder cleaves the tension of a hot day, cracking it open like an egg, while the rain washes everything away. Now the evening is crisp, the breeze rich with the smell of summer rain. ⛈⚡️✨ I’ve written a new blog post (finally!!!) with a few loose June goals, because I’ve neglected my little corner of the internet for a while now and it was time to give it a dusting and a spruce. So if you’re into that sort of thing, pop on over to the link in my bio.
Aperol is just Capri Sun for adults 🤷🏼‍♀️☀️🍊🍹
me, like 90 percent of the time when I say “I’m writing” • but hey like 10 percent of the time I do type some things. For example, today I actually finished writing the sequel to Brew Books, which is creatively titled Brew Books 2. Yup, another novel down. And that’s no small feat, mind you. A glimmering achievement on an otherwise mild, grey day in Berlin. but I diiiid also download the Sims (because PSA it’s free rn) so I’m gonna reward myself with like 8hrs of drowning sims in a swimming pool. hope you’re having a brilliant weekend ✨
sundaaaaay ✨ ⠀⠀ Snap by @julianimkephotography
new around here? ✨ there’s a few fresh faces following my gram after @wattpad shared a snap of me yesterday, so I thought I’d say hi and introduce myself 👋🏻 so hey! I’m Elle, an Aussie author currently living in Berlin, Germany. I work full-time in marketing for @babbel, but in my spare time I write and post stories on Wattpad. My book, Brew Books, was chosen to be one of the first paid stories on the site, which was an exciting step in my writing career. It’s contemporary fic, about a girl working in a bookshop & café with a bunch of other young people… and shit gets dramatic. I’m also currently writing a YA fantasy, Starrlings, about two magical girls from very different backgrounds - a princess of fire, and a poor orphan with ice magic. At first they hate each other… but when they discover an evil plot, they team up to save the world 🔥❄️ Here on my insta I share my thoughts on books I’m reading, snaps of my travels around Europe, and a bunch of pics of my life in Berlin. I’m stoked to have you on board! This snap was taken by my super talented photographer friend, @solmariathomas, who is currently embarking on a huge world trip, so you should definitely check out her adventures, too!
new favourite reading spot ✨ jk obviously this is uncomfortable af 🙅🏼‍♀️ After a pretty wild May Day I thought I might have a chill reading & writing weekend, but of course that’s too much to ask for in Berlin. Instead, last night l joined a bunch of inspiring creative ladies for a free wine tasting networking event hosted by @bumble_germany, where I pretended to know things about grape types and drank a fair share of vino. The rest of my weekend is booked up with more eating and drinking and merriness... although I’m hoping I’ll sneak in some time tomorrow to pop a new chapter of Starrlings on Wattpad. p.s. if you just can’t get enough of seeing my mug on this insta profile, keep your peepers peeled over at the @wattpad insta where my dorky grin will be gracing their feed anytime soon. What are you up to this weekend?? ✨
Stay sun safe, kids ☀️
