Written worksĪmong the books which Ostow has authored or co-authored are the following: Even though Emily wants nothing to do with her Puerto Rican heritage a very special person shows her that uncovering her roots is like discovering a secret part of her own heart. Her mother has family in Puerto Rico, but Emily has never had any contact with them - not until she is forced to go to the Caribbean for her grandmother's funeral. The book is about a Jewish girl from the suburbs of New York. During the course she wrote the Emily Goldberg Learns to Salsa pitch and the first ten pages of the manuscript in her class. Ostow took a Media Bistro's YA (Young Adult) Writing Course.

Ostow, who has written as a ghostwriter for novelizations of popular television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and Fearless, some published under house pseudonyms, began to author young-adult novels.

The experience of seeing how easily the family banded together, despite the fact that some of them had never even met before, served as an inspirational factor when she wrote her first novel Emily Goldberg Learns to Salsa.Īfter Ostow graduated from college, she was hired by the New York City publisher Simon & Schuster, as an editor. In 1990, when her grandmother was dying in Puerto Rico, she joined her immediate family and other members of the family who traveled from Florida, New York, and other places to the island to be with her. Even though she was raised in the Jewish faith (her mother, who was a Catholic, converted before she married her father), she always maintained a good relationship and remained close to her Puerto Rican Catholic family. Ostow was born in New York City to a Jewish-American father and a Puerto Rican mother.
