Meet Eli
An Ex-Theatre Kid turned Multidimensional Author and Internet Creator
Eli Rallo is a 26-year-old New York City based author and internet creator. Originally born in New Jersey, Eli has always been a writer (since her beginnings as a theatre kid in Suburban New Jersey).
She obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 2020 (Bachelor of Theatre Arts, minors in Playwriting, Creative Writing, and Political Science) and her master's degree from Columbia University School of Journalism (MS 2021).
She went ‘viral’ on TikTok in the spring of 2020, and has since grown her TikTok account to over 830,000 followers, and her Instagram to over 135,000 followers.
Eli gave a TED Talk in February 2021 and loves public speaking, specifically to college-aged women around the country.
Her debut book, I Didn’t Know I Needed This, published by Harvest, a subsidiary of HarperCollins, is out now. She launched this release with a sold-out show at New York’s Sony Hall, followed by a 12-city nationwide tour.
She has worked as an interviewer on red carpets, a journalist, and a podcast host, in addition to being a writer and content creator.
Her sophomore book of essays Does Anyone Else Feel This Way: The New Rules for Conquering the Quarterlife Crisis will be released in October 2025.
