Wordy Bio for Reading Purposes (and SEO, let's be honest)
Hi, I’m Lisa. How can I assist in bringing your project to life? Helping has always been my thing. I am powerful, perceptive, and playful – at the intersection of serious and fun (in voice, writing, and being).
I’m a natural fit for Business, Self Development (aka self-help), and other non-fiction yet also thrive with fiction genres such as Mystery/Thrillers, Sci-Fi/Fantasy (love me some GameLit!), and the occasional Romance. Having a versatile & modulated voice, I can meet a range of tones and vocal styles. My special sauce is the ability to find and convey the humor in even the most academic of tomes.
Thanks to an extended stay in St. Louis, Missouri (Go Blues!), my natural speaking voice is general North American. However, as a native Southerner – born in Mississippi, time in central Florida, NC Piedmont, & currently residing in Appalachia – I can employ a variety of accents/dialects ranging from Dixie Southern Belle to Lowland Country Girl.
Honing my craft is a daily exercise that I love, always working with coaches & going to webinars and workshops. I study with the best in the industry and read the classics in between.
I have an extensive managerial, administrative, and IT/technical background, love all things science, especially Astronomy, and read Philosophy for fun. I am a genuine Lover of Wisdom.
Reach out and let’s create magic together!
