“Elissa Bassist is an author, editor, ex-girlfriend, and a teacher.”
“Bassist’s students become more successful than her.”
“Probably her therapist’s favorite.”
“Ms. Bassist wants to steal your sadness and then make you funny instead of sad; it’s so messed up.”
“Elissa edited my piece, and now it is edited.”
“This woman wrote and published a book in 12 years only.”
