about this author

Hey there, I'm Elizabeth. I write young adult novels. I live just outside Washington DC with my husband and dog, and am unable to pass a bookstore without stopping and going inside.

All right, and I can't leave without buying at least one book.

Usually two. (Or more!)

My website and blog are at elizabethwrites.com, and I'm also on facebook, twitter, and myspace

" The story of my life can be told in silver: in chocolate mills, serving spoons, and services for twelve. The story of my life has nothing to do with me. The story of my life is things. Things that aren’t mine, that won’t ever be mine. It’s all I’ve ever known.

I wish it wasn’t.

"However tortured the rationalizations we prefer, the thirst of one human being for another can be so--humbling--but I preferred to think of it as fate. And then mad desire. Anything but a fortress built on the back of a whim...How much easier to say there is no coincidence, and certainly no mistakes, and carry on to our destruction in defense of...how shall I put it? My idea of myself. One will sacrifice anything for that."

2359718 I just read your book Love You Hate You Miss You. It made me cry. It made me laugh. It made me think. Thanks and well done :)


message 23: by Anna

1682752 WOw thanks for commenting! Talking to my favorite authors is probably the equivalent to a tween meeting the Jonas brothers(aka you made my day). Oh, and I totally enjoyed Bloom! Usually when I come across a character who is a cheater, I tend to dislike them. But it was so hard to not feel sorry for Lauren. She was just so conflicted and messed up from lacking parents (physically/emotionally)in her life. And Evan... swoooooon.


2826507 I can't believe you thanked me for having you as one of my favorite authors. I should be thanking you! I love your books. They're fantastic! So thank you for writing these books that always make me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Hey! I just finished bloom and I loved it! It was amazing!



225668 Hi Elizabeth! I'm a youth services librarian in Conyers, Georgia--about 20 minutes from Atlanta & am on the YALSA Book Listserv that you're on. Received the copy of Something, Maybe from you yesterday, thanks so much! It's going straight into our collection this week.


message 3: by Tia

2026406 I loved your book perefect you, after reading the excerpt of something, maybe in the back i went out and bought it right away! it was great


1228836 Aww thanks so much for the complement!


1139861 hello!
i just wanted to say how much i've enjoyed reading your books so far! I finished Perfect You yesterday and am already almost done with Bloom. It was funny because before reading Perfect You I had just finished Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen and there seemed to be so many similarities in the stories as well as the writing.
