Lisa has a passion for words.

An avid reader and writer she appreciates both form and content in written language. Her command of written conventions and understanding of the dynamic nature of language has been supported by a lifelong interest in literature; a current engagement in the worlds of 'authorship' and publishing; and academic qualifications (A Bachelors Degree; A Graduate Diploma in Education). Her regard for the intricacies of the written word is matched by a deep respect for the integrity of a writer's voice and an appreciation of the need for balance between free expression and clear communication.

Whilst her literary tastes are many and varied, books that are spiritual in nature are of special interest. Her consideration of their merit gives equal value to the eloquence of the communiqué and authenticity of the message. Viewing books in a holistic manner, with compassion and integrity, Lisa is committed to supporting writers in the expression of their essence.

Lisa is a voluntary proof reader for Pick-a-Woo Woo (Children's Trade Publisher) and paid editor for MBS Press (Self Assisted Publishing) since 2009.
