Ellen Rozek is a gigantic word nerd who memorized some of her favorite books before she was old enough to read them herself. She writes contemporary young adult and new adult fiction, but she'll read just about anything as long as the premise excites her. When she isn't working full-time as an administrative assistant, Ellen puts her hyper-organized mind to use planning trips she can't afford to take. Tourette's Syndrome is the most noticeable of her mental health issues, but she's happy to discuss any of them with you if you ask nicely. You can find her on Twitter or her blog, chatting away about books, the writing process, and social issues.2 Articles
