Fantastic British Women
Who have I missed? Who have I included in error?
[I suspect I am short on horror - and will go through the Wordsworth list - on short story writers especially recent, paranormal romance. I include those resident in Britain even if not born there. Some names are pen names, some are real names of those who have published under pseudonyms. There should be many more children's writers, but that's tough choices. I will try not to be defensive in comments (but will fail - some names I've hesitated to add though the aim is inclusivity here) and I'm sure I've overlooked the bleeding obvious]

[The list has an eye on science fiction, but includes the gothic, the utopia, and various shades of horror and fantasy; at the moment I want to cast as wide a net as I can]
