| Profile/Bio: | Lisa Marguerite Mora of Barrington Editorial Services and Hidden Wisdom Writing Workshops offers editing, as well as manuscript critiques and a writing environment in which to create new work. While she is an excellent line editor, she specializes in the broader problems of content and structure. Lisa can help the writer discover their direction and their unique voice, and the manuscript’s shape and purpose. She is a former Assistant Fiction Editor at 42opus an Online Literary Magazine of the Arts and facilitates Hidden Wisdom Writing Workshops—Finding the Words in the Writer and the Writer in the Words--an eight & five-week creative writing workshop that provides improvisational writing exercises as well as editorial feedback on work the writer would like to bring to the next level. Eight-week Editing Workshops also available. Lisa has also conducted workshops at the Los Angeles Public Library, The Bodhi Tree Bookstore, West Los Angeles College Creative Writers Club, and California State University Los Angeles.She is an instructor at Santa Monica College Community Services. She holds a Bachelors Degree in English-Creative Writing Emphasis-from UCLA, where she was selected with nine other students to study under Carolyn See. She has studied editing with the editor of a literary journal, story structure with a literary agent and consultant, and has taken courses on writing and copyediting at UCLA Extension. A nominated member of PEN, she has had work published or forthcoming in several small regional and national literary journals in the United States (Rattle, ONTHEBUS, Common Ties, Literary Mama, California Quarterly, The Venice Beachhead--lead article, among others) and was Second Place Prize Winner in the 2008 Biannual Blue Mountain Arts Poetry Contest. Her freelance editing business Barrington Editorial is mentioned in the 2009 Children’s Writer Guide in an article by Christina Hamlett. Lisa was a panelist on Beyond the First Draft for the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society and for Independent Writers of Southern California. She is currently editing her poetry manuscript and her novel-in-progress has generated agent interest. As a workshop facilitator she has inspired beginning and experienced writers to explore new material in a safe and supportive environment and with her literature and writing background, and her sharp eye for mechanical incongruities, her editing skills have helped many documents and manuscripts find a clearer focus, and a more resonant voice. Lisa offers a free newsletter. Please e-mail her to subscribe or to learn more about her workshops and editing services. Next workshop begins June 29, 2010 through August 17 in Venice. Mini-workshops at Rakasala Healing Center this summer http://www.raksasala.com/ |
