Eleanor Thom (born 1979 in London)[1] is a British writer. She won the 2006 New Writing Ventures competition with "Burns", a chapter from her first novel The Tin-Kin. The book recalls experiences of her mother's family who were Scottish Travellers and settled in Elgin between 1920 and 1950. In 2009, The Tin-Kin won the Scottish First Book of the Year, and was shortlisted for the Not the Booker Prize.[2]

In 2008, Thom was awarded a Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship to begin work on a second novel.

Thom attended Chesham High School from 1995–1997, and later studied at University College London, and The University of Glasgow.
