Ella Joy Olsen

Picture
Ella is the author of three novels, ROOT, PETAL,THORN (2016), WHERE THE SWEET BIRD SINGS (2017) and BIRDIE & JAY (2020). She served a year-long remote internship at the Friedman Literary Agency in New York City reading manuscript submissions, teaches creative writing through the University of Utah’s Lifelong Learning continuing education program, ​and spent nearly a decade on the Board of Directors for the Salt Lake City Public Library System (not to mention four additional decades browsing the stacks). She is a member of the Women’s Fiction Writing Association (WFWA) & the Historical Novel Society (HNS). She is represented by Rachel Ekstrom at Folio Literary Management.
Personally, Ella is the mom of three (young adult) kids, the mama of two dogs, and the wife of one patient husband. Years ago she graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Finance and after many years analyzing numbers she gave up her corner cubicle and started writing fiction.
