Lisa loves writing and had her first poem published in the local newspaper when she was 6 years old! Her mother also swears the local library published a story she wrote when she was 6 or 7; it’s stuffed somewhere on a dusty shelf in a library on Long Island, New York. Lisa took a hiatus after her early success, but has lately gotten back into writing fiction after a dry spell of technical and scientific writing. Most recently, she placed 8th in the final round of NYC Midnight’s 2024 100-word competition. She lives in Alaska and loves all the nature-based activities.
