Biography
As a writer of nonfiction, memoir, and marketing copy, Elisheva (rhymes with “whateva”) Trenk has been commissioned to write for niche magazines, media companies, and luxury lifestyle brands.
As an Orthodox Jew, Elisheva’s voice fuses her background in fashion with a tendency toward the spiritual. She is currently working on a memoir about her strong and sparkling (and very well-dressed) mother.
Elisheva’s favorite forms of procrastination include dive-bombing the scented candles at Bath & Body Works and being taken on long walks by her spirited lab-setter mix, Bumble.
