All writers want to communicate, and these workshops and manuscript services will help you with that conversation between your heart and your pen, and between your words and the reader. You will cultivate that magical synaptic jump that we call inspiration, find more of your writing voice, and its authenticity and range will have a safe place to stretch and explore. Through the community of the workshop or working one on one with me, you will take your project and skills to the next level. You will access the writer’s wisdom inside.
Lisa Marguerite Mora is an intelligent and compassionate editor who will pay close attention to every detail of your manuscript and give you all sorts of helpful feedback. What a thrill it is for a writer who's been toiling away alone in a room for so long to be able to discuss and debate their manuscript with a terrific editor and writer. There is no doubt every writer will receive invaluable insight from this process and that every manuscript will be greatly improved. I highly recommend working with Lisa. --Maria Semple, author, This One is Mine (Little, Brown); writer/ “Arrested Development,” “Mad About You,” “Ellen”.
Lisa Marguerite Mora came highly recommended as an editor for my memoir—and her praise was well deserved. Her comments and suggestions were clear and insightful, and she provided a road map that made the process of revising the manuscript infinitely easier. I was equally pleased with Lisa’s input when she reviewed a subsequent draft. My manuscript is significantly stronger thanks to Lisa's expertise and I’ve recommended her to other writers. I have no doubt that I will work with her again in the future. --Jason Blume (Hit Songwriter/Author of 6 Steps to Songwriting Success, Inside Songwriting, and This Business of Songwriting--all published by Billboard Books)
Lisa is a former student of mine and I can attest to her gift as a writer and her ability as an editor and teacher. When I’m backed up with clients, I often refer them to her as I know they will be well taken care of. Writers benefit from her intuition and insight; her skill and her attention to detail. Her talent is invaluable and I’d make sure you work with her while she’s still available at the prices she's asking. If you live on the Westside of L.A., take her workshop! If you care about how you look on the page, by all means hire her. Whether through her workshops or her editing services, you WILL progress under her gentle, inspired tutelage.--Jack Grapes/ Method Writing Approach; Editor, ONTHEBUS (Bombshelter Press)
“Lisa functions like the best writing teacher I’ve ever had. She grasps the intention, and fully understands what it is I am struggling to express, and then helps me put the words on the page in the most economical way. She has helped me find my deeper voice, accepted no clichés, or stunted sentences, and has actually helped me keep my focus. My writing faults melt away with her guidance, and I feel the creative process move from her instructional touch to my written page. This process not only improved the writing, it improved the writer.”—Marian Silverman, published writer and author of ”Take One Dog and Call Me in the Morning”
"Thank you, Lisa, for providing detailed and insightful comments on my novel. This is the kind of useful feedback I am looking for. I look forward to participating in one of your workshops." Daniel Lamb, writer, teacher (CSU Dominguez Hills Faculty)
I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work and attention to detail. I'm very, very grateful for your comments. I think you've already gone above and beyond for your fee.--Diane Mora, writer, ESL Instructor.
