Hello and thank you for your interest in ALLYSON IN BETWEEN! 

I started posting on Wattpad as a sort of mental health experiment—a distraction from the stress of my non-writing life and an attempt to rekindle the joy of writing. I had very low expectations. It was enough for me that the platform provided a way to share my work with family and friends.

The years I spent working with my ex-agent on this project and then querying in the hopes of finding a second agent, zapped my confidence—in the novel and in my writing abilities. So I was pretty shocked when Allyson made the Wattys 2021 shortlist.

I am beyond thrilled and immensely grateful that Allyson now has readers from all over the world! Thank you all so much for all the love and support!! ❤️❤️❤️ 

Hugs, Elle

PS: If you haven't already, please check out my second YA novel, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD. :) And if you're interested in upper middle grade, consider adding DOGWOOD to your reading list.
