Lisa May Bennett

Lisa May Bennett is the author of two nonfiction books: Yes, You Can Become an Author: Writing, Self-Publishing, and Marketing Your First Book and the memoir My Unfurling: Emerging from the Grip of Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and Drinking. She blogs about balancing personal growth with self-acceptance at Bittersweet Nugget and enjoys speaking about self-publishing. Lisa has worked for more than two decades in communications and marketing with a specialty in print publications. She majored in creative writing in college, and after years of writing for employers, she made her dream of becoming a published author come true. Through the process of self-publishing her first book, Lisa discovered a passion for helping others share their stories. She hopes that her second book will encourage would-be authors to take that leap. Lisa resides in Maryland with her husband, two cats, and a dog. She enjoys trying new things, spending time in nature, and dancing in the kitchen. She plans to cross the country in an RV with her husband one day and, of course, write a book about it.
