About me:
I've been writing YA novels for about 15 years and have published 12 so far. The newest one, out July 1, 2007, is PARROTFISH and it's about a 16-year-old female-to-male transgendered teenager. This is only the second YA book (to my knowledge) to deal with this subject. (Julie Anne Peters LUNA preceded it--check that out too!)
Other novels I've written are:
Lombardo's Law, Noticing Paradise, Hard Love (a Printz Honor book and Lambda Literary Award winner), What's in a Name, Gracie's Girl, Razzle, Long Night of Leo and Bree, Zigzag, Heart on my Sleeve, Sandpiper, Blind Faith. Check out my webpage at www.ellenwittlinger.com.

Who I'd like to meet:
Pedro Almodovar, Eleanor Roosevelt (too late), Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jane Smiley, Joss Whedon
