An avid reader from the age of four, it was a high school assignment writing about a family member’s life that got her hooked on telling other people’s stories. A bonafide ghostwriter with published works in magazines, online, and in print, Lisa’s superpower is her exuberant personality, making it easy for clients to share their lives. If you lived it, then it’s greater than fiction because, as Dr. Suess said, ”there’s no one alive that’s youer than you!”

Kindi L
Kindi became aware of her writing potential when her third grade teacher required her to enter a contest. To her surprise, the effortlessly written poem about her big toe took first place.

While working for a company offering online storytelling courses, she surrendered to her passion, dropped the nine to five, and pursued a writing career.

Kat F
“You’re a good egg, Ms Kat.” ~Maggie. Of all the reviews a writer—or a person—could get, Kat thinks this is the very best one.

Kat has written widely and over many years—memoir, humor, newspaper articles, blogs, and two published books. Still, none of that compares with her desire to connect with people in a real and heartfelt way. She looks forward to connecting with you!
