Elizabeth Lim

Elizabeth Lim is an author whose love for storytelling began early, nurtured by a childhood filled with fairy tales, myths, and music. At around age 10, she began writing fanfiction inspired by Sailor Moon, Sweet Valley, and Star Wars, and started sharing her stories online. The realization that people were actually reading and enjoying her writing was a powerful moment that stayed with her.

Despite this early passion, a teacher once told her she had “too much voice” in her essays, which led her to pause her creative writing efforts and focus on getting through English class. Still, the desire to tell stories never left her.

Elizabeth went on to become a composer for film and video games, eventually earning a doctorate in music composition. During graduate school, she found herself returning to writing as a way to take a break from the demands of academia. What started as a fun project to write and complete a novel quickly became a serious pursuit. From that point on, she never looked back.

She has a love for classic film scores, books with a good romance, and a wide range of foods—especially arepas and Ethiopian cuisine. Other favorites include the color turquoise, overcast skies, English muffins, cycling, and baking. Elizabeth currently lives in New York City with her husband.
