Louise Hoole (she/her) 

Senior Editor

“Traveller, there is no path. The path is made by walking”.  –Antonio Machado

Louise Hoole was born in England, grew up on the remote Atlantic island of St Helena, and has spent many years in Africa.

She has been bewitched by books since reading The Magic Faraway Tree as a child, and studied English literature at York University, graduating with first class honours. She has worked for an array of clients from the BBC to the United Nations, and is the author/edit of eleven books including Talking to the Ancestors (about East African art), Seven Wonders (about the world heritage sites of Tanzania), and Black Rock (a novel exploring the last exile of Napoleon Bonaparte). 

Louise was delighted to join Includovate in 2023 as their Senior Editor, and is committed to their core mission to decolonise global research and create a more equitable world. 

She travels widely between Africa, Asia, and Europe, and is passionate about rock art, whale sharks and wild swimming.
