Elizabeth Gilbert is a bestselling author best known for her memoir Eat, Pray, Love (2006), which became a global phenomenon and was later adapted into a film starring Julia Roberts. Before that breakthrough, she worked as a journalist, writing for publications like GQ and The New York Times Magazine. Her career spans multiple genres, including fiction, memoir, and self-help, with works like The Signature of All Things (2013), a historical novel, and Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear (2015), which explores creativity and inspiration. Gilbert’s writing often delves into themes of self-discovery, love, and personal transformation, making her a beloved voice in contemporary literature.
In fall 2025, Elizabeth Gilbert will release her highly anticipated memoir, All the Way to the River, chronicling her profound relationship with her late partner, Rayya Elias. Their bond began as an unexpected spark between two seeming opposites—Rayya, a fearless East Village icon who lived unapologetically but wrestled with self-doubt as an artist, and Liz, a married people-pleaser with an uninhibited creative spirit.
Over time, their connection deepened—from friends to best friends to soulmates. When tragedy struck, the undeniable truth surfaced: they were in love. Yet beneath it all lay another unspoken reality—they were both addicts, hurtling toward inevitable turmoil.
All the Way to the River is set for release in September 2025.

On their latest tour, VSQ have created fresh arrangements of the cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift, performing spellbinding and innovative renditions of Swift’s music, alongside familiar hits from Billie Eilish, BTS, Bridgerton, The Weeknd to Daft Punk.
