Elizabeth Berg

Elizabeth Berg is an accomplished American author and former registered nurse. She has a long-standing career in writing, with many of her works falling into the Literature & Fiction genre. Berg has written numerous novels that have become bestsellers and been selected as books of the year by various literary magazines. One of her novels was even nominated for the ABBY Award in 1996, and she won the New England Bookseller Award in 1997.

Berg's writing career began when she was just a child, submitting a poem to American Girl magazine. However, the poem was rejected, and it would take twenty-five years before she submitted anything else for publication. Eventually, she entered a contest and won, which proved to be the break she needed to become a successful magazine writer. After gaining experience writing for magazines for ten years, Berg moved on to writing her own novels.

In addition to her novels, Berg has written nonfiction books and short story collections, including "The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted." She has also adapted one of her novels into a play that enjoyed successful performances in Chicago and Indianapolis. Berg's work has been published in thirty countries, and three of her novels have been turned into television movies.

Some of her most popular Facebook postings have been collected in "Make Someone Happy" and "Still Happy." Berg lives outside of Chicago. She has written eighteen novels, and her work has more than 1.5 million copies in print. Her novel "OPEN HOUSE" was an Oprah's Book Club selection in 2000.
