About me: My name is Ilana Jacqueline and for the past four years I worked as a young adult book reviewer. I had so much fun helping new authors get the publicity and readers they deserved! I worked for several publications including Today’s Teen Magazine, The Sun-Sentinel, The Palm Beach Post, and my own website: www.ilanawrites.com
These days I’m focusing all of my energy on finishing my own novel. And I’m almost there! While writing I’m getting my AA degree in English. I’m studying to be a college English professor. (If only we could all live off our royalties! J ) When I’m not writing or going to school I’m eating. I’m a gastronomical Jew, as shouted on my food blog on my food reviewing website www.palmbeachfoodreviews.com.
My work as a journalist during my early teens really gave me a rich background for my novel writing. I recommend it to all burgeoning writers. I have oodles of advice for new writers. If you are one feel free to message me with any questions and I’ll do the best I can to help you out!
Hey Ilana...I know I'm a bit early but I wanted to beat the rush before all the heads of state, royalty and celebrities flooded your mail box. I hope your special day is most grand. Happy birthday.
Let me be the first to wish you happy birthday! Things are going to be crazy for the next few days so I had to get this in now! Be sure to make it a great one!
