What's Wrong With Me book cover with image of brain scan - by Ellie Presner
What’s Wrong With Me?! – My little medical saga has a nice dramatic arc to it: puzzling beginning, painful middle, and an ending that was a relief in more ways than one.

Surviving Hollywood North
Surviving Hollywood North – An irreverent memoir revealing how Ellie Presner wrangled insecure screenwriters, harried producers and directors, and eccentric actors in Montreal’s flourishing film business during the 1990s.

First Kiss and Other True Fiction
First Kiss and Other True Fiction – Evocative short pieces ranging from a little girl’s terror, to an older child’s disillusionment, to the glory (and confusion) of a budding adolescent’s first kiss… not without a dollop of humour.

How to be an (Almost) Perfect Parent
How to be an Almost Perfect Parent – Friendly illustrated advice from a former family support worker. Professionals – and parents – love it!
