Ellen’s column “Girl Writing” appears regularly in the Washington Independent Review of Books, and she does occasional guest blogging, too. The content runs the gamut from personal memoir, reflections on favorite authors and books, to the impact of current events on her reading and writing routines. Ellen enjoys this chance to share what’s on her mind, and on her bookstand, with readers.
