Elizabeth earned a Post-Baccalaureate Writing Certificate from UC Berkeley and studied creative writing at Oxford University. At Oxford she found a community of like-minded writers who have continued to meet on a monthly basis to share and critique their work. She deeply values the insights and encouragement of this talented group, whose members are scattered throughout New York, Europe, and the United Kingdom. A lifelong Californian, Elizabeth lives on the coast with her husband and Labradoodle, Piper.
