Elizabeth grew up in Venezuela, holds a BA in political science from Vanderbilt University with minors in classical civilizations and corporate strategy, and is a graduate of the Columbia Publishing Course at Oxford University. Elizabeth is eager to work on fantasy, speculative, upmarket, book club, and commercial fiction that is fun, plot-driven, and escapist, while seamlessly layered with emotional and intellectual depth.
