About me:
I'm the author of a bunch of children's books and Young Adult novels, including three off-beat almancs: ALMANAC OF THE GROSS, DISGUSTING & TOTALLY REPULSIVE; THE VERY SCARY ALMANAC; and ALMANAC OF ALIEN ENCOUNTERS (published by Random House). Maybe you've read 'em? I also wrote three X-FILES novels (HarperCollins) and two books of scary short stories, THREE MINUTE THRILLERS and MORE THREE MINUTE THRILLERS (Lowell House). My newest book, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, a YA horror novel, will be published later this year.
In the movie biz my screenplay, CLASS ACT (co-written with Neal Shusterman) is in development at Walden Media, starring Halle Berry, with Doug Atchison set to direct. It's the true story of an elementary school teacher who ran for Congress -- with her sixth-grade students running her campaign! I've also written scripts and developed projects for Universal, Sony, Disney and Dreamworks.
If you want to learn lots of fun, gross, and scary facts, and to find out more about my books and screenplays, visit my official website: ElfmanWorld.com
I'm also coaching writers hoping to get their books published and screenplays produced. Whether you have a first or polished draft, or just an idea or outline, if you would like some feedback on your work, take a look at my coaching website: EricElfmanCoaching.com -- I'd love to talk to you!

Who I'd like to meet:
If you've read any of my books, I'd love to hear from you! If you're a teacher or librarian, I'd appreciate any feedback.
And if you're a writer of children's books trying to get published, please visit my coaching website: EricElfmanCoaching.com
