“Elissa Bassist is an author, editor, ex-girlfriend, and a teacher.”
“Elissa Bassist is the literary version of Taylor Swift.”
“Bassist’s students become more successful than her.”
“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.”
