Elizabeth Stevens

Writer. Reader. Perpetual student. Nerd. I started out writing fantasy. But I like to write anything, honestly. These days, I mainly stick to YA and there's always at least a sprinkling of romance, if not a 'whoops, I dropped the whole packet in'. Almost all my books are set in my home state of South Australia, either in real or fictional places - gotta write what you know - with 'Netherfield Prep' being the only current exception. Like most writers, I love to read. Although, time for reading at the moment is hard to come by. When I'm not too busy writing or studying, I'm usually reading a number of authors. Some of my favourites are Rick Riordan, Jane Austen, Kate Forsyth, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Kasie West, John Flanagan, Isobelle Carmody, Christina Benjamin, Emily Rodda, and many more. I'm an avid fan of Marvel, DC, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, and pretty much anything similar. I've recently discovered 'Taskmaster' and it's brilliant. I love watching soccer (go Gunners) and thoroughly look forward to seeing Eurovision every year. Celebrity crushes include Anna Kendrick and Chris Evans, because they are wonderful. I live in Adelaide (South Australia) with my husband, smol human, and a menagerie of animals – a cat reliving her (sixth) youth, a cowardly Beagle-Cavalier who thinks he’s smaller than he is, two chickens who are terrified of free-ranging, and a turtle with a penchant for sticking her head up her filter pipe. I have a Master of Arts (Writing) from Swinburne University of Technology and a Master of Arts (Editing and Publishing) from University of Southern Queensland. I'm currently plugging away towards my PhD in Creative Writing, working on a feminist reimagining of the Irish hero Cu Chulainn.
