About Me

Born in the City of Love, raised under the African sun, professionally trained in the Alps, I’ve traveled many roads and lived many lives: from selling burgers in McDonald’s to interpreting in an official governmental meeting, from stocking shelves in a supermarket to tutoring royalty in a palace . . . I’ve seen and done enough to analyze life stories from many different angles, cultures, and backgrounds.

People’s personal life stories have always fascinated me as they enable me to catch glimpses of many different existential realities.

I am known for being a very thorough editor (“astute and sharp” were one literary agent’s words) and for providing valuable, insightful, and high-level feedback. I always read and edit with two things in mind:

  1. What message does your story want to share?
  2. How can this story be the best version of itself so it will be engaging for the reader while leaving a lasting impression and impact?

If this approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear more from you and your story. I can’t wait to read your life story. 🙂

xoxo – Lisiane
