Ellen writes books about the words we use, at work and at play.
When Ellen Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment building and set up a folding table with a GRAMMAR TABLE sign, it took about thirty seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. The Grammar Table was such a hit—attracting the attention of The New York Times, NPR, and CBS Evening News—that Ellen soon took it on the road, traveling across the US to answer questions from writers, lawyers, businesspeople, students, bickering couples, and anyone else who uses words in this world. Rebel with a Clause tackles what is most on people’s minds, grammatically speaking, and will delight anyone wishing to polish their prose or revel in our age-old, universal fascination with language.
