Writing Portfolio
Research
2018 - Present
Elizabeth works closely with analysts at Gartner to ghostwrite high-priority research for AI Leaders, CIOs, and Marketing Leaders, including Gartner's Magic Quadrants, Symposium Keynotes, and other high-priority research, including the AI Technology Sandwich: A Conceptual Framework for Executing AI that was presented at the 2024 IT Symposium.*

Fiction
2012 - Present
Elizabeth originally wrote and published three YA books collectively known as The Rogue Trilogy between 2012 and 2018. However, in 2024, she decided she wanted to reintroduce the trilogy's cast and story to an older audience.
The initial books were removed from circulation as she rewrote the trilogy. The remastered version of her first novel, The Royal Rogue, was re-released on August 15, 2025.
Since then, the book has sold in eight different countries and received high praise from both readers and industry professionals, including BlueInk Review and Foreword Clarion.

Former Editor of AMP and Hails & Horns
I was so fortunate to have Elizabeth Carlton on the writing staff for AMP and Hails and Horns Magazine. She was one of the contributors that I gave first pick of articles to because she steered away from generic Q and A’s and researched her subjects, giving each piece a distinctive angle that set it apart. I always looked forward to her finished products coming across my desk.

If I were to describe Elli in three words, I’d say she is reliable, influential, and fearless. She is tremendously kind-hearted and quick on her toes, always willing to confront challenges with positivity, grace, and solutions.

I worked with Elizabeth when she was a Copywriter and Content Strategist at iPartnerMedia's U.S. branch and she made the work look so easy. Her understanding of content strategy, SEO, crafting engaging copy and making a campaign 'sing' with her writing skills was a joy to behold.
