Elana began her career at Nickelodeon Magazine, which made her fall in love with children’s publishing. Afterward, she spent nearly 5 years as an editor at Parachute Publishing, a packager specializing in children’s book series. There she was lucky to work on R.L. Stine’s ROTTEN SCHOOL among many other series for kids of all ages. She’s spent the last two years as an agent, and loves working with her clients closely, being very hands-on editorially to get those existing (and already fabulous) manuscripts just right. Elana is a graduate of Barnard College and the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she earned degrees in English literature and Bible.

Elana will be attending the following conferences:

--April 9-11th, 2010: SCBWI Eastern PA, Poconos Mountain Retreat

--April 23-24th, 2010, SCBWI Arkansas

-- May 27th-28th, 2010: Backspace Writers Conference, New York, NY
