Eliza is currently writing her first novel, a fantasy-adventure story. It began with an inspiration at the age of thirteen to write the book she herself wanted to read but hadn't yet found, and has since taken many shapes and forms to become the story it is today. Since graduating from college, Eliza has dedicated herself to the writing process and intends to finish writing the book (at last) this year. To document the descent into story madness and her novel writing adventures, she established the @elizacarlsonwrites YouTube channel - subscribe to follow along with the chaos, or watch the first three episodes in the 'writing a book' series below!
