About Elissa

Elissa Savage is an author and illustrator from Melbourne, Australia. She holds an Honours Degree in Children’s Literature, is a Reiki Master-Teacher, Vocal Health Coach, as well as a practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis, EFT, and Specialised Kinesiology. With a background in writing, music (singing, songwriting, and vocal coaching), fitness, energy work, and art, Elissa is multi-passionate and loves being a student of life!

When she is not singing and dancing with preschoolers for a very fun living, you’ll find Elissa hanging out with her husband, two teenagers, whacky staffy, and wheeking guinea pigs.

With a passion for mental-emotional-physical-spiritual well-being, neurodiversity, and the power of storytelling to light up young minds, Elissa is fuelled by an understanding that books are magical. They engage, entertain, and inspire children and grownups alike. Being part of that world is Elissa’s happy place.

Filled with ideas, Elissa has a huge project list that includes more picture books, a middle-grade fiction series, a young adult fantasy trilogy, and a non-fiction book. Register your interest below for updates, freebies, info about author events/visits, and resources for the home and classroom.
