She has short, curly brown hair and wears a pair of glasses perched on the end of her nose. In the background, a bookshelf filled with novels and literary awards is visible, with a few notable titles such as "Home Movie", "World Like a Knife", "Hometown Brew", and "Public Life" prominently displayed. The woman is Ellen Akins, a renowned American novelist, and the image should convey a sense of creativity, intelligence, and literary accomplishment.
