Intimidation is Not a Factor for Elizabeth Zelvin.
While most writers settle into the comfort of one format, Elizabeth Zelvin explores the contrasting realms of poetry, novels, novellas, short stories, and flash fiction, all of them distinctly different in approach, situation, and writing style. Zelvin even loves writing cross-genre.
She shares freely her
writing, building a community, and writing tool tips.
Elizabeth Zelvin is the author of two long-running series, the Bruce Kohler Mysteries and the Jewish historical Mendoza Family Saga as well as the Emerald Love urban fantasy mysteries. Her series and standalone short stories appear in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and Black Cat Mystery Magazine. She currently blogs on SleuthSayers.
EQMM has called her "one of our
genre's most celebrated short story writers."
In addition to writing fiction, Liz is a poet, a
singer-songwriter and a psychotherapist who was one of the pioneers of online
mental health. Liz lives in New York City and summers at the unpretentious end
of East Hampton, where she swims in the ocean, gardens, photographs the
resident hummingbird, and exchanges waves with the occasional whale.
