Ellen Pritchard Holder is a writer and freelance copyeditor who loves to read. Originally from North Carolina, she has been a Florida resident since 1999. She and her husband have also been successful entertainers since 2008, performing dance music all over Central Florida. Ellen attributes her growth as a writer to voracious reading and the help received at various writing critique groups. Her flash fiction has been published several times in The Florida Writer online magazine and in various literary journals. From 2018 through 2023, she was published yearly in the Florida Writers Association Anthology. She often quotes Natalie Goldberg, who said, “Writers live twice.” Ellen enjoys her real life but, when she writes fiction, that second life can be anything she imagines.
