Among her writings are the Annabel the Actress and Jenny Archer series.
Her books have won the Best Book of the Year Citation, Best Book of the International Interest Citation, Best Book of the Year for Children, Parents' Choice Award, and more.
She was born Ellen Shaffer in New York City in 1942, the only child of Harry Schaffer and Lillian Schaffer (née Pfeffer).
An avid reader from an early age, she read eight books per week.
Among her favorite books to read were the Nancy Drew series and teen romances.
In high school, she edited her school's humor magazine.

During her studies, she helped pay for classes by working as a proofreader and as a salesperson.

Upon graduating from college, Conford began her career writing short stories for teen magazines, published between 1969 and 1971 in magazines such as TEEN.
She was prompted to begin writing full-length books when she couldn't find a good book for her son to read at the library, and told her husband that she thought she could write a better one.
Her debut book Impossible Possum was published by Little, Brown in 1971 - a picture book about a possum who doesn't fit in with the rest of his family because he can't hang by his tail.
