Jasmine Elmer is a straight-talking ancient world expert. Deciding her subject needed a ‘glow up’, she began her mission in 2020 to make the subject relatable and representative. Outside of writing, she spends her time bringing the energy to television screens, appearing on channels such as Channel 4, Channel 5, and National Geographic as well as hosting and appearing on many podcasts. Her debut non-fiction work, Goddess with a Thousand Faces is a bold exploration of world goddesses, blending storytelling with historical fact. It follows from years of research as a student at universities like UCL, Cambridge and Exeter and a career as a secondary school teacher of Classics. She is of dual heritage, Pakistani and white- her mother was born in Canada. She grew up in East London, but now lives in Exeter, Devon with her husband and son. She has 5 cats and is absolutely not ashamed of that fact! When she has some down time, she loves spending time in nature, curling up with a good book and a hot choc and having a laugh with her friends. She flits between meditation and being frazzled. Such is life.
