• Staff cartoonist for The Times Literary Supplement  (2017 – 2020) - weekly A3 cartoon  (topical with a literary twist) and the occasional cover. Stig Abell (former editor of The TLS, chair of The Baillie Gifford Prize 2019) said of my work: "We wanted cartoons that embodied some of the values of the TLS: commitment to ideas; celebration of literature; valuing of beauty. I don’t think anyone in the country could do a better job of providing thoughtful, textured and aesthetically arresting images than Ella does. She can tell complex stories with pictures that linger in the mind, and she has a beautiful style that is hers alone. It has been a naggingly difficult brief, and she always delivered.”​
