Lisa Paige, PhD

A reader and writer since she could hold a pencil, Lisa has been helping others with the written word since she was a freshman at Harvard University. When her peers discovered she could identify ways to improve their papers, her career began.

While helping others bring their writing projects to fruition, Lisa also maintains a writing practice of her own—journaling, poetry, essays, and fiction. She also has a passion for assisting others in finding their voices. Trained in Journaling for Wellness and Transformative Language Arts, she facilitates workshops to help others use writing to heal themselves and carry their newfound understanding and purpose from small groups out to the world.

Over the decades of her varied career, she has worked in marketing at Warner Books; as a press secretary in Pennsylvania government; as the editor of Harrisburg Magazine and Lehigh Valley Magazine; as an assistant professor at Franklin & Marshall, Elizabethtown, and York Colleges; and as Director of Communications at the Harrisburg, PA School District.

Lisa currently resides in Franklin, Massachusetts (home to the first public library in the United States), in a nearly-tiny house on a small pond formed by the Charles River. A nature lover, Lisa shares her life and home with family, friends, and too many pets.

Every day, Lisa is grateful for the opportunity to play with words, which are magic. Writing organizes chaos, creates beauty, and inspires us to carry on with grace no matter how difficult the times. It helps us move past trying memories, open new avenues of exploration, uncover our deepest truths, pursue our passions, and share ourselves with others.

Lisa believes we are all writers; those funny marks we make on paper or screen produce laughter, astonishment, tears, and joy.
