Biography
Moi.
Erzsi Deak (pronounced "aire-zshee" ; "Erzsi" is a Hungarian diminutive for "Elizabeth" (like "Beth" or "Betty"). She grew up believing that "Deak" meant "royal scribe," but learned a few years ago that it's closer to "Clark" or "Clerk." The noble belief was good while it lasted.
A journalist for more than twenty years, Erzsi has covered fashion and children's features from Alaska to San Francisco to Paris. She has tramped the Alaska Pipeline looking for environmental problems, worked as a camp counselor managing the craft hut, and always as a writer. In addition to writing about flowering spaces and urban fowl, Erzsi is an editorial consultant for the French publisher, Editions de La Martiniere. She also edits the SCBWI Bulletin "Here, There, Everywhere" column that shines a bright light on children's books around the world. Erzsi lives in Paris, France, with her husband and 1-3 of her 3 daughters (depending on the season) and their dog, Bingley.
