E.W. Crandall is a fantasy author whose debut novel, Elven Liberation, won the 2024 Pencraft Award for Fantasy. She was raised in Utah, surrounded by the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, alongside her parents. From a young age, she developed a love for classic literature, including works by Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, and Charles Dickens, to name a few. Her passion for fantasy also began in childhood, and her appreciation for character-driven narratives in both genres has greatly influenced her writing. The literary adage "character is plot, and plot is character" by C.S. Lewis perfectly encapsulates her philosophy of crafting a well-written book.
In high school, she studied Japanese, which sparked a lifelong admiration for Japanese culture and wisdom. A devoted learner, she continually strives to view the world from diverse perspectives. She earned an Associate’s degree in Psychology from Salt Lake Community College, further fueling her curiosity about human behavior.
In addition to writing, E.W. Crandall enjoys collecting natural treasures, carving simple designs into stones, sketching, playing video games, and breaking into spontaneous song. She currently resides in Utah with her husband, Kenny, and their cat, Memphis.
Her biggest inspirations include her parents, Suzanne and Richard, her grandmother, and her Aunt Karrie Ann, all of whom have nurtured her love for the arts and for people. You’ll often find her daydreaming with a pen and paper in hand.
