About this author

edit data

I am a journalist based in Brooklyn and have written for magazines including Glamour, The New York Times, Marie Claire, Self, Redbook and many more! I co-wrote my first book, The Kids Are All Right, with my sister Diana, a writer based in Austin, and we asked our two other siblings, Dan and Amanda, to share their stories, too. The result is a memoir in four voices about losing our parents too young, but finding deep friendships and loyal love in one another as a result. see: http://www.thekidsareallrightbook.com for more information about the book. And http://www.lizwelch.com for more information about me.
