Literary Agent:    n/a

After graduating from Toi Whaakari, the NZ Drama School, Elisabeth began her professional life as an actress, playing Victoria the dinosaur in a children's TV series called Johnson and friends. But Elisabeth knew, if she wanted to make a living, she'd need to find other things to do too. Consequently she turned to writing - for magazines, newspapers, the radio, stage and screen and has been doing just that, in NZ and the UK, for the past 20 years. She's also played the country's favourite villain on Shortland St back in the 90s (Nurse Carla) and more recently played a much more likeable character in a series of advertisements for Countdown Supermarkets. You can also hear Elisabeth on Radio New Zealand National where she provides commentary on Nine to Noon every 4th Friday on The Week that Was, or doing book reviews. Elisabeth has also been a breakfast radio host, a tour guide in Turkey, a magazine editor, a script advisor, a casting agent and a lifeguard. Currently Elisabeth spends the bulk of her work hours writing travel stories for the New Zealand Herald, performing voice-overs and writing scripts for the stage.

Seed

Synopsis:
IVF isn't foolproof and IUDs aren't failsafe. iPhones come with ovulation apps and being married doesn't mean you have to breed. Seed follows four women as they try to get pregnant, stay pregnant or become un-pregnant  the dilemmas of modern reproduction. Today people have access to other people's eggs, sperm, and a range of expensive avenues to go down when nature isn't taking its course. And abortions are easy to access because reproduction is all about choice. At least it is in theory. Seed is about the horror some woman experience to learn they're pregnant, even while in loving relationships, and about fancy fertility clinics that prey on people's primal urge to replicate, in the hope of cementing the bond with their partner in a way a ring, a house or a promise just don't. Seed is a drama that'll have you laughing till tears run down your face, and a comedy that'll make you cry and it's all about us. - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/production.php?id=3979
