long bio:Lisa Stringfellow writes middle grade fiction and has a not-so-secret fondness for fantasy with a dark twist. Growing up, she was a voracious reader and books took her to places where her imagination could thrive. She writes for her 12-year-old self, the kid waiting to be the brown-skinned hero of an adventure, off saving the world.
Lisa’s work often reflects her West Indian and Black southern heritage. She received the inaugural KWELI Color of Children’s Literature Manuscript Award in 2019 for her middle grade contemporary fantasy DARK TIDE. Her happy place is her classroom of fifth and sixth graders, where she champions the rights of all children to see themselves in books. She maintains a strong online presence as a literacy advocate. Lisa lives in Boston, Massachusetts with her children and two bossy cats. |
