Erica Buist

Erica Buist is a writer, journalist (mostly for the Guardian) and Creative Writing tutor based in London. She holds a Masters in Creative Writing from Cambridge, and a Europeana Creative Climate Action Award.

Her first book, THIS PARTY’S DEAD, followed her journey to death festivals in Mexico, Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Japan, Madagascar and Indonesia. She has now moved into fiction, is working on her second novel and quietly planning a third.

Erica speaks Spanish, Italian and French – but mostly to her dog.
