Bio
Lisa Manterfield has sparked fiery debates with her edgy social commentary in publications such as In These Times and with her monthly Mad As Hell Club column. Her personal essays have appeared in print in such diverse publications as Bicycle Times, Romantic Homes, and Los Angeles Times Magazine. More recently, she has taken her work to the stage in Spark, a spoken word event at LA’s Powerhouse Theatre. Lisa is a graduate of the UCLA Extension Writer’s Program, a three-time national Novel Writing Month Winner, and co-founder of The Sisters of Submission writing group.
Lisa enjoys giving back to the community in her free time, most notably in her role as Head Mentor of the Young Storyteller’s Foundation, a program that teaches creative writing to fourth and fifth grade children, and provides tools for them to tell their own stories. A British native turned Southern California transplant, Lisa is auntie to eight nieces and nephews, adoptive mother to one spoiled cat, and wife to Mr. Fabulous. She is also proud to be a 39-year-old grandmother.
