I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

The Three Brains of Every Indie Author

A couple weeks ago I did my first public talk on the the topic of Entrepreneurial Authorship, a guide on and writing and indie publishing.

I broke it down into three sections:

1) writing - the creative brain
2) editing - the critical brain
3) publishing - the business brain

I have it all laid out in a pretty Power Point presentation, which has been saved as a PDF. Click on the link if you want to see it.


They chose this night to dig the sidewalk up outside. I used it as an example of an exterior antagonist. =)

I was pretty nervous (my inner antagonist) but it went well.

  4. Good one! I too love Blake Snyder's Save the Cat information. It really helps one organize a story.
