Hello there.                                    Read a new Fortune Small Business story here

I am Lisa Palmer, an award winning writer, editor, and high energy person. I specialize in business, environmental, and lifestyle journalism, including feature stories, profiles, narratives, book reviews, and service-oriented articles.

I've posted a few clips here and a little information about my background. I am a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Society of Environmental Journalists.

My writing appears in national magazines and newspapers, including Fortune Small Business, Yankee Magazine, Law & Politics, Super Lawyers, Coastal Living, Scholastic, The Providence Journal, and Rhode Island Monthly, among many others. Go here  for a complete list of publishing credits.

What editors say...

"Lisa has wonderful writing that grabs you from the start," Judge from the Pennsylvania Press Association.

"Lisa Palmer makes me look good. She turns in tight copy, always on time, and never in need of much editing. And she's a nice person to boot."

—Adam Wahlberg, Executive Editor, Super Lawyers Magazine

"Lisa Palmer brings a distinct writing flair to her work, which is bolstered by a keen reporter’s sense and wordsmith’s use of language. She lays out a story without pretension yet isn’t afraid to send readers running for a dictionary on occasion.

"Perhaps Lisa’s greatest attributes, however, are her dependability and professionalism. Like many publications struggling with the nation’s slow recovery, the Standard-Times relies heavily on freelancers. Many freelancers are like cabbies in the rain, while Lisa is the metaphoric cavalry charging into the frame to save the day. She takes direction better than many staff writers, quickly reporting features without cutting corners and then producing some of our Living Department’s best work."

—Dan Rosenfeld, Managing Editor, The Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.)
