- I am represented by Dorian Maffei of Kimberly Cameron & Associates.
- I am not this Elaine Chen, the illustrator of My Day With Gong-Gong. She is a much better artist than me! I have an art background but I pursued web design as a career.
- I am mostly on Bluesky and Instagram. I have Twitter and TikTok accounts, but rarely use them. I do not respond to DMs.
- I also draw a little and have RedBubble and Spoonflower shops.
- I am a single parent with a day job on top of my writing deadlines. I am stupidly busy, so please don’t take it personally if I don’t respond to messages or follow you on social media.
