Lizzie Simon
Writer. Editor. Producer.
Lizzie Simon has had a prolific career as a poignant and funny memoirist, essayist, journalist, TV writer, editor, public speaker and producer. She has a natural gift for teaching, editing and inspiring writers to do their best work, and has built a community of students, authors, journalists, playwrights and tv and screenwriters committed to bracing and beautiful stories.
Since my own memoir, Detour, was published, I have led students through a series of classes that teach craft, inspire courage and ease writers into writing for a small chunk of time every day. I think that writing is good for the brain, and that writing amongst supportive writers can become a kind of paradise.
