Welcome!
Hi! I’m Elisa, a bestselling author of ten books, including the novels Faking It, Ordinary World, and She Has Your Eyes. I’m also a writing instructor and creator of The Writer’s Habit book, blog, and courses.
My mission: To write, publish, and sell novels and nonfiction that are enjoyable, smart, and well written and edited. I characterize my novels as “Romance Rhetoric”—stories about relationships a la Nora Ephron, but with Aaron Sorkin-like dialogue. Or, as a reviewer called them, “beach books with a brain.” They are infused with crack dialogue, characters that are flawed but likable, and a story that keeps you thinking and feeling well after the last page.
What qualifies me? To date I have sold approximately 500,000 books worldwide in multiple languages. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional writing. Almost every day I engage in the writing process in some form. I aim to constantly hone my craft and connect with my readers.
If you’re here as a reader, then please check out my books, book club information, and blog, “I’ll Have What She’s Having.”
If you’re here as a writer, then please go to The Writer’s Habit website and blog.
If you’re a bookseller, blogger, or media outlet, then please go to the Media Kit page.
If you’re a Duranie, then check out my memoir and connect with me on Twitter!
With humor, kindness, stories, and a smile, I aim to motivate and inspire you to fall in love with and stay connected to the joy of reading and/or writing, as well as your own lives. Thank you for being here!
