Ines Davis is a British novelist and former archivist whose work explores memory, migration, and the quiet dramas of civic life. Born in Nottingham in 1986 and raised in South London, she studied history at University College London before completing an MSt in Modern British History at the University of Oxford. She later worked at the Imperial War Museum and the London Metropolitan Archives, where she developed a fascination with everyday documents that outlast grand narratives.
Davis is the author of Paper Atlas and The Harbor's Edge, the latter shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize for its evocative sense of place. Her essays and reviews have appeared in the Guardian, the White Review, and Granta. She lives near Brockwell Park with her partner and an unruly herb garden, and teaches part-time on community storytelling and archival practice.
