- Writer, Mother, Mother, Writer
I have been a newspaper writer and editor, a magazine writer and editor, a publicist and an advertising copywriter. I now write essays and short fiction. My work has been published in literary journals, magazines and anthologies and some of it is available if you go to my website at www.lisasolodwarren.com and follow the links.
My first book Desire: Women Write About Wanting was published by Seal Press in late 2007.
I have a new essay entitled "A Clean, Well-Cluttered Place" in the anthology Dirt: Writers on the Quirks, Passions and Habits of Keeping House (ed. Mindy Lewis)
published by Seal Press, May 2009
I also write novels and have had two literary agents who have loved my work but have been unable to share that love with New York editors. I am hoping that my almost completed new novel will change that.
