Lisa

Freelance Writer/Editor/Graphic Designer

Lisa has worked as a writer, editor, and graphic designer for more than 15 years. She recently quit her day job as a marketing manager to pursue freelance writing, editing, and graphic design full-time. She worked as a newspaper journalist and editor for ten years, as a communications specialist for two years, and as a marketing manager for two years.

Life in the South

A native of Arkansas City, located in the heart of the Arkansas Delta, Lisa is Southern born and bred, and proud of her heritage. Although she has lived around the world, she is most comfortable sitting on her grandmother’s front porch, surrounded by her relatives, drinking a glass of sweet tea, and possibly even shelling purple hull peas. A fan of Southern literature and Southern outdoor humor, Lisa loves to write about the unique experience of living in the South.
