ElsaEditorialhide bio
 Author has written 4 stories for Walking Dead. Greetings! I'm Elsa (just a pen name, I'm keeping my real name a secret). I'm a twenty-six-year-old copy editor living in the Midwest. I spent many years writing short stories and fan fiction, but after college, I switched to the editorial side of things. I love editing, but I decided to get back into writing for a change. A brief summary of my interests: historical fiction/romance, vintage fashion and makeup (specifically from the 1940s and 1950s), good wine, coloring books, yoga, Joss Whedon, and mentally correcting everyone's grammar. ;) If you're on Tumblr, I invite you to follow me (username: ElsaEditorial). I post things related to my stories, and I also often share pin-up and vintage-related posts and snippets from my own daily life. :) |
