| Name: | Lara M. Zeises |
| Website: | www.zeisgeist.com |
| Location: | Wilmington, Delaware, United States |
| Birthdate: | 1976-01-20 |
| Bio: | The Boring Version
Lara M. Zeises is the author of three novels for young adults. Her first, Bringing Up the Bones (2002), was named an honor book for the 2001 Delacorte Press Prize Competition as well as one of the New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age.
Her second, Contents Under Pressure (2004), began as her thesis project at Emerson College, where in 2001 she earned her MFA in creative writing. It has gone on to be named to the 2006 International Reading Association’s Young Adult Choices list, the 2005-06 Taysha’s (Texas) Reading List, and the 2005 New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age. It was recently voted the 2006 Delaware Blue Hen Teen Book Award winner.
Lara’s third novel, Anyone But You (2005), was named a Top 10 Pick by Teen People. An excerpt from that project helped earn Lara a 2005 Emerging Artist Fellowship in Literature-Fiction from the Delaware Division of the Arts.
She’s currently hard at work on her next project, tentatively titled What’s Cooking with Stella Madison?
In addition to writing, Lara teaches part-time at the University of Delaware, where she received her BA in English-Journalism. She also facilitates creative writing workshops for both teens and adults.
The Less-Boring Version
Hi, I'm Lara. I've had this journal for three four five six and a half (ZOMG!) years now. I'm a total pop-culture junkie, so most of what you'll read here is me talking about pop stuffs, like TV, movies, and music. Occasionally you may read something about my schnoodle, Scout, or his Uncle Jake and Aunt Daphne (also schnoodles), or my obsessive love of my home state (Delaware). And of course, I often post things about books, including my own.
