Originally a freelance writer of children's literature for magazines such as SPIDER and CRICKET, Eben Reilly stepped up to Young Adult fiction, most recently publishing WOLF through Braiswick, an independent publisher in Suffolk England. Recently Ms. Reilly won the 2007 Vermont Playwright's Award with a stage adaptation of WOLF, entitled RETURN TO WEST RAVEN.
Eben Reilly is considering going back to Brooklyn. Can you believe that?

For many years I wrote for my kids growing up: stories, poems, until they started telling me stories back, and then I embarked on a career of collaboration-- most recently writing WOLF with my 16 year old son Ben. Currently our path has shifted from fiction to theater. After having adapted the first half of WOLF to the stage, and winning the Vermont Playwrights award (see blog), I've returned to writing drama-- my first love in graduate school where I earned an MFA in playwriting. Right now I have three plays out for submission and am working on a fourth with Ben entitled Notes from the Lower East Side. Our fiction projects still haunt me-- and by winter I will return to my copious mental notes, but this summer is all about telling tales through dialogue. (Being a born New YOrker,dialogue is my first passion anyway.) Thanks to the Valley Players for the Award, and to my kids for their ongoing creative input and inspiration!
