Hi,
My name is Lisa V. Proulx, and I am an award-winning and international bestselling author, an award-winning speaker and storyteller, an editor, and a publishing consultant.
I was a feature writer and columnist for 20 years, I’m a certified proofreader and copy editor, and I served as the President of the Maryland Writer’s Association- Frederick, Maryland Chapter, so I know a thing or two about writing, getting started, and promoting your work.
I am also the former Editor in Chief of The Brunswick Herald newspaper in Brunswick, Maryland
As an Indie Artist, the process of getting your work in front of people can be a scary and overwhelming ordeal. Believe me, I’ve been there! I still write books and when I started, I was confused and got so frustrated, there were times I wanted to pull out my hair, scream, and give up!
Don’t!
I also know what it’s like to not have the money to pay big, expensive promoters who will not give you the personal attention you need… and deserve!
Let me help you!
Please check out my page and see if we are a good fit. If you like what you see and would like to work together, please contact me and I will get back to you shortly!
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Who I Am Personally
Okay, now that you know my background and education let me tell you who I am personally.
I am a laid-back 70s Bohemian rocker chick who wants to make a difference in this world instead of just taking up space within it.
I raised Rottweilers for over 18 years and I’m a former belly dancer.
I live in my childhood home in Maryland with my cats, and two dogs, Bella Luna and Thor Tyrion. I love to write, bake, cook, work in my garden, watch Days of our Lives, Vikings, True Blood, and listen to classic rock music.
I have a goofy sense of humor and I collect coats, purses, and antiques.
I am a real person!
I am not some stuffy, three-piece suit with a briefcase. I am a cool chick with brains and I want to help you succeed. So let me help you! ♥
Lisa
