- Writing prompts, templates and support materials

Why learn with Lisa?
I’m an author, editor, journalist and writing coach with more than 30 years’ professional experience. I’ve written for national newspapers and magazines in the UK and the US, lived and worked in Hollywood, taught journalism and magazine publishing at various universities and run successful writers’ groups both in the UK and Los Angeles.
I’m the author of the well-received celebrity journalism memoir Ryan is Ready for You Now (number 1 in Amazon’s Pop Culture category), and now I work one-to-one with private clients who want to tell their stories with honesty, care and confidence.
I understand how vulnerable memoir writing can feel. I will never push you beyond your limits. My aim is to create a safe, encouraging and bully-free space where writers feel supported, heard and motivated.
What LISA’s clients say
“Lisa believed in me when others did not and helped shape my journals into what became my memoir. She guided me with skill, integrity and sensitivity, always knowing when to challenge and when to step back. Her experience was invaluable.”
— Darren Ryan, author of Lifeline

Hello from Lisa!
“I’m a real person (it’s 2026 so this needs to be said), who genuinely cares about your story, and who has been through this process. If you have any questions, about the course, your writing and whether this is right for you, please email me.
“I’m here to give you permission to write, give you the confidence to tell your story and shepherd you through the process, with confidence and clarity. We’ll have some fun along the way too!”
AND FINALLY…
The course will be capped at 6 attendees. The next course after this one will start in either May or June, date TBC.
Critique not criticism only. This is a safe space. Everybody is welcome. Bullying and rudeness will not be tolerated. Most people who join are lovely, so I do not expect this to ever be an issue.
Be aware that we may be talking about sensitive subjects, so please tread carefully. There are regular check-ins to ensure you are comfortable with sharing your work, and hearing from others.
REFERRAL OFFER. For every person you refer you will get an additional one-to-one consultation with Lisa (up to 3 people), once they have signed up and paid in full.
