When the book is ready
Leave your email and I’ll send you a note when Outsourcing Love is ready to read.
A sausage-smuggling panic at JFK. A New York wedding I suggested crashing. One very satisfying pickle toss after a long night out. I kept moving, dating, and writing it all down.
The stories are funny. The pattern took me longer to see.
“I lost my heart in tiny installments: in ‘u up?’ texts, in almosts, and in subscriptions to emotional unavailability.”
“Pretending not to care. Caring anyway.”
Open Mic
Some stories are better out loud.
I’m trying pages from the manuscript at open mics while I figure out what belongs in the book. The pickle story has a strong case for staying.
About
Hi, I’m Eliza Zane.
Writer, storyteller, professional oversharer. I’ve spent years dating, moving, and collecting stories I probably should have kept to myself. Naturally, I’m putting them in a book.

From my handwritten notes“I spent my whole life looking for someone to fix me, to choose me. Then I asked: what do I need?”

I’m 50,000+ words into the manuscript. It’s still in progress, and I’m looking for the right people to help bring it into the world.

I can talk dating, almosts, and the stories that made it onto the page. If that fits your show, email me.
