Elaine Ash edits fiction writers-from established authors to emerging talent. As the former editor-at-large for Beat to a Pulp e-zine, Elaine worked directly with writers of all genres to develop short stories for publication.

Holm (Mulholland), S.W Lauden (Rare Bird), Kerian Shea (Titan), Hilary Davidson (Macmillan) Sophie Littlefield (Minotaur, Delacorte) and many more. Among the titles Elaine has edited and produced, Walking the Dunes with Tennessee Williams is especially notable. A first-person memoir by the late Mia Elkovsky Phoebus, it fills in a small piece of history from 1940, when Mia shared a ramshackle house with America's great playwright, Tennessee Williams (The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire). Distribution is through Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon and many other outlets. Under the pen name "Anonymous-9," Elaine's crime fiction is included by numerous "Best of" lists every year. Her work has been praised by T. Jefferson Parker, Ray Garton, Johnny Shaw, Douglas Lindsay, Josh Stallings, Robert Randisi and many others. Organizations book her for speaking and teaching engagements, such as the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society, Sisters in Crime, the Mystery Writers of America, the Coffee House Writers' Group, and many more. Bestseller Metrics is more than a book, it is also a patent pending system currently in software development for the publishing industry. See less
