"There is both snap and crackle in the writing, she knows how to place a smart joke, but it is also terrific on the teenage insecurities that make friendship so treacherous, particularly in the digital age."

Script reading and consulting
I have extensive experience as a script reader, dramaturg and consultant. Most recently I was on the reading panel for the National Theatre of Britain.
I offer script consultancy services to writers at all levels, offering conscientious notes, and clear next steps. I also offer longer-term one to one mentoring.
Please get in touch to discuss dramaturgy and script consulting rates. (See also script consultancy FAQs.) I am happy to have a brief chat/consultation on the phone about what you need. I also offer unemployed/low wage rates.
Teaching
I have run playwriting workshops for The Mono Box, The Soho Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and City Academy.
I often run drop-in playwriting workshops on Zoom. See upcoming dates and book via Eventbrite.
Testimonials
I’ve always struggled with where to begin when writing but through exercises, analysis of scripts and anecdotes, Lisa has helped me to loose my fear of the blank page. - Conor Gormally, Mono Box student
Lisa is an outstanding educator. Not only is she deeply knowledgeable about her subject, she is an expert in communicating complex ideas and concepts in a clear, structured and engaging manner. - Kevin Nolan, City Academy student
