Ella has been a writer for as long as she could hold a crayon, and an avid reader for about as long. Although she appreciates the classics, she also adores some beach romance, young adult, science-fiction, or fantasy. If it has a good story, she'll read it-- but she might correct your grammar. She has a few minor nonfiction pieces in print on topics ranging from education to landscape photography, but she prefers to craft poetry, character-driven short stories, histories, memoirs and chick lit.
