About me:

I'm an author, poet, and all-round nice person, with too many stories left to tell. But I'll do the best I can.

Some of you have asked me for book recommendations. Some of my favorites can be found under my Top Friends.

..

IDENTICAL IS AVAILABLE NOW.

Check out this recent podcast I did, about IDENTICAL.

Click here for an audio podcast interview with Ellen Hopkins!

Many of you have asked if there will be a third book about Kristina/Bree. The answer is-----yes, and it will be called FALLOUT. But it won't be the next book. That's TRICKS, about five teens who fall into prostitution, for five very different reasons. It's currently in production and will release Summer '09.

I also have a short story called "Pretty, Hungry" in a December anthology called DOES THIS BOOK MAKE ME LOOK FAT?

Who I'd like to meet:

Readers, writers, teachers, librarians and a whole slew (good word!)of people who might not fit those categories.

I LOVE TO HEAR FROM READERS. BUT IF YOU WANT TO MESSAGE OR COMMENT ME AND YOUR PROFILE IS SET TO PRIVATE, FRIEND ME FIRST, OR I CAN'T ANSWER YOU!

Here are some places you might catch up with me!



May 14th, 6 p.m., Seattle Public Library, Central Branch

I love Drops of Jupiter. It was on my myspace for a while. I can't wait for Tricks to come out! It's marked in my appointment book and whenever I see someone with your book I say, "Did you know her next book is coming out Aug 25?!" even if they are a complete stranger... :)

hey Ellen. i just read your last blog post.
i just wanted to say that i love your books and they are great literature. you write about real life issues and i finished reading identical.. now im hoping to read tricks real soon.
i want to be a writer and i have been holding on to that dream since the 1st grade. so far, ive written many works of poetry and im currently working on some other writing projects that i hope will be out there for others to read. i know one day my dream will come true. hopefully i get to be as good of a writer as you are. :]

Elizabeth

Love,

before i read your books, i hated reading.
i couldnt stand the thought of reading,
and for the whole 17 years of my life, i never read a whole book.
i would always go to the book store and get a book, read the first page,
and never open it again. then one day, i picked up Crank, and read it in 2 days.
then the day i finished it, i went and bought Glass. Crank and Glass have deffinitly changed my life.
you are such an inspirational writer. I am now almost done with Burned, and i'm about to start Impulse.
I could never thank you enough for turning me onto reading.
i cant even describe what your books mean to me, but they mean alot.
thank you so so so so much!
(:

Do you know when in the summer TRICKS will be released? Or at least when you expect it to be released?

Ellen, I started reading Impulse the other day and I cant put it down. I just bought Crank because your writing sucks me into the book and its so hard to but it down. I love and admire all your writing! I have a friend who is going through a few similar expirences and these help me see his viewpoint and better understand what he's going through. Keep writing and thank you so much for being a great influence.
