As part of our Alumnae Speaker Series, we are delighted to welcome back Eleanor Southern-Wilkins (DAHS 2012), who writes under the pen name Eleanor Vendrell. Eleanor will join us on Wednesday 21st May 2025 to share her creative journey. The evening will begin at 7.00pm, with an opportunity to purchase a copy of her debut novel, The Great Orchid Heist.

A writer and researcher, Eleanor explores love, relationships, identity and life’s big questions. A lifelong reader of books that inspire both laughter and tears, she is passionate about joyful fiction and stories that celebrate romance. Her love for creative writing was first sparked during her English Literature A Level classes, and she has continued writing for pleasure ever since.

2025 marks the release of The Great Orchid Heist, now available as an eBook, with the paperback edition launching on Thursday 13th March.
