Liz Czukas is a young adult and new adult author known for her lighthearted romantic comedies. She gained recognition with her YA novels "Ask Again Later" and "Top Ten Clues You're Clueless," both published in 2014, followed by "Throwing My Life Away" in 2016. Writing under the pen name Ellie Cahill, she expanded into new adult fiction with works like "When Joss Met Matt," "Call Me Maybe," and "Just a Girl."
Her writing style draws frequent comparisons to iconic filmmakers—her YA works evoke the charm of John Hughes' coming-of-age stories, while her Ellie Cahill titles channel Nora Ephron's witty romantic comedies. Czukas specializes in crafting humorous, heartfelt narratives filled with awkward encounters and playful banter, often infused with nostalgic nods to 1980s pop culture.
When not writing, Czukas enjoys spending time with her family and golden retriever. An avid television enthusiast, she particularly favors shows featuring British actors in heroic roles. Her personal interests include sweet tea, Harry Potter's Hufflepuff house, and classic debates about Star Wars lore.
