Revision Season begins in one week! Those who've already enrolled have received the Week Zero work early. There's still time to join this intense, interactive 8-week masterclass in revision (and writing, and humaning). Please email me at elana@elanakarnold.com if you'd like to learn more!

I'm THRILLED to share the cover of my speculative fiction debut, HOLLOWAY (pub date 5/4/26! art by Sarah Jarrett, cover designed by Corina Lupp & Jenna Stempel-Lobel). Autism? Anti-vaxxers? Art? Philosophy? Reverberations & cycles through history? If you say "yes, please," then HOLLOWAY is for you.

Total instances of book bans: I'm #6. Number of unique titles affected by book bans: I'm tied for #9 with @halseanderson.bsky.social. Number of districts in which the author is banned: I'm #3. Please don't say "Good for you." It's "Shame on them."
