Ella Taylor

Ella is Tom’s Guide’s Engagement Editor, on a mission to get to know all about our readers, to help you with your burning questions, and to create an exciting mix of content that entices you to keep coming back to the site – whether you’re a regular reader or a member.

She has more than 15 years of editorial experience, graduating from Kingston University with a First Class Honours degree in Journalism in 2008. She has written for and edited magazines and websites, including fellow Future titles TechRadar.com, CreativeBloq.com, Digital Camera magazine, NPhoto, BikeRadar.com, Mollie Makes and more.

Most recently, she was Managing Editor of womanandhome.com, where she co-launched its Quiz of the Day and led the charge for articles that actively asked readers for their views. Before that, she was Editor of professional photography website canon-europe.com/pro, having worked her way up from Production Editor. As such, she's a stickler for fact-checking, has too many opinions about grammar and is easily excited by a beautiful photo.

A mum of two young children, she keeps fit by typically carrying at least one of them on her shoulders around the hilly streets of Bristol. When not chasing her sons around the play parks and soft plays of South West England and worshipping her three rescue cats, she's likely to be in the garden, steadily turning it from a neglected concrete jungle to a usable green space. She’s also finally embarking on a kitchen extension in May, so 2026 looks set to be a year of big home improvements and lots of builders’ tea.
