How I Write: Elizabeth FlockBy Elizabeth King Humphrey
Published:
April 8, 2010 Elizabeth Flock started her journalism career as a reporter at Time and People magazines before appearing as a TV anchor and reporter in San Francisco. She then moved to New York City, becoming a correspondent for CBS News and covering stories worldwide, including England after Princess Diana’s death and Pope John Paul II’s historic visit to Cuba. In 2003, Flock launched her career’s next chapter with her debut novel, But Inside I’m Screaming, immersing readers in the psyche of a journalist who breaks down on the air and ends up in a mental institution. In her next novel, the family drama Me & Emma, Flock channeled the voice of an impoverished young North Carolina girl. “I love the way children see the world,” Flock told an interviewer. The novel spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and Booksense called it one of the best books of 2005. Flock’s other novels, Everything Must Go and Sleepwalking in Daylight, capture contemporary suburban angst. A graduate of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., she lives in New York City and Northeast Harbor, Maine.
