Welcome to LAUGHING MATTERS! A world of mid-life musings based on the questionable choices Iโve made in my own life.
I'm Lisa, 49, at the "gives no fucks" part of my life. I write about health & wellness over 45, ex-pat life in France, and my self-help memoir about being married to (and divorced from) a megalomaniacal narcissist. But it's funny.
Women don't vanish after 40. Who knew?! Amplifying and celebrating the voices of women in midlife and beyond by the former editor of Red, Cosmopolitan (and Just 17!)
32K+ readers. Followers, please note that only free or paid subscribers receive our picks of the best-written books from US & UK prize shortlists & major reviews, & masterclasses by their (sometimes world-renowned) authors on prose style.
My memoir, What to Believe, is about secrets, suicide, and the power of denial. Each week I'll publish another chapter. Between chapters, I'll write about mental health, grief, resilience, and hope.
Culture, media, politics and parenting. Oh, did someone say pick a lane? Adorable.
Real talk about the writing + publishing industry from an author who doesnโt want you to feel confused, bewildered, or alone. Plus: craft tips, reading recommendations, writing support + solidarity (unless you are a jerk to people in the comments).
