ABOUT LISA
Lisa Ferranti is a writer, marketer and mother (not necessarily in that order). She hopes to also one day add butcher, baker and candlestick maker to her repertoire.
Her stories have been nominated for The Best American Short Stories Anthology, the Pushcart Prize, and Best Small Fictions, and have three times been included on the Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions Longlist. She also has a story that was a Best of the Net finalist, and has been twice shortlisted for the Bath Flash Fiction Award, and highly commended in the 2018 Hemingway Shorts contest. Although it’s no longer being published, she is still proud of her Top 25 finalist placement in a Glimmer Train Family Matters contest.
Her stories and essays have appeared or are forthcoming in RUBY Literary, Fictive Dream, Fractured Lit, Literary Mama, Janus Literary, Ellipsis Zine, FlashFlood Journal, Lost Balloon, Cabinet of Heed, Truffle Magazine, New Flash Fiction Review, Emerge Literary Journal, and elsewhere.
Lisa holds a BA in English from The University of Akron, plus she’s attended many writing classes and workshops to connect with, and learn from, other writers.
She is forever grateful for her writing “tribes” and is a proud member of the Lliterary Llamas and the former Quills. She lives a (long) stone’s throw from Cleveland with her family.
