Essayist. Fiction writer. Beth is a screenwriter, essayist, and published picture book writer living in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Beth grew up surrounded by a family of dancers, actors, singers, teachers, and writers. She is a recipient of several Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrator (SCBWI) awards for her young adult novel writing. She also gets critiqued by her writing mentor, award-winning writer and Los Angeles cult hero, Francesca Lia Block. Beth knows she's meant to write because if she doesn't do it everyday something feels off. She needs to read books like she needs air. Music is her daily vitamin. List making is her obsession. She loves seeing pictures of destroyed and abandoned things and maps. There are stories inside them. She collects letters, ones she has received (her grandpa was a genius letter writer) and ones from strangers she finds at flea markets. I love pie of all sorts and chocolate chip cookies (but only if they are fresh out of the oven). And she get endless inspiration from her daughters. Bringing attention to the inequality of the sexes and smashing the patriarchy will always be a thread in her stories.
