Ammie ElliottI've been telling stories my whole life. I've always found wonder in creating something, and really believe we are all artists in our own way. I decided, when I was five (I'm not kidding), that I was going to be a writer, so I've literally worked my hole life toward that goal. I attended Ohio University and graduated with my B.A. in English. From there, I wanted to take my love of words even further, so set off to England for my M.A. where else should someone study English than in England, right? While there, I launched a creative writing magazine for the university with the help of a colleague, and I also created a free after-school program through the English Department so I could teach poetry and creative writing to underprivileged children. After acquiring my Master's in Literary Theory as well as Contemporary Literature and Film, I came back to the U.S. and began looking for my next adventure. I spent 13 years working in the private aviation industry and honed my writing skills in a variety of positions from technical writing to communications and business standards, to global editor and writer to content management. I grew up loving to read, especially The Berenstein Bears books. I have always dreamed of writing my own series, and creating The Dreamscape Series (which were inspired by my daughter) have led me to meet such incredible artists in Columbus, Ohio, like Travis McCoy, who brings my books to life with his illustrations.
