About the author
Based in Minneapolis, Lizzie Lawson is a writer and teaching artist. On her website, she says she earned a B.A. in marketing from the University of St. Thomas and an M.F.A. in creative writing from The Ohio State University, where she served as nonfiction editor for The Journal.
Her writing has been published by outlets including Electric Literature, The Florida Review, The Sun, The Rumpus, Passages North, and Split Lip Magazine. In author bios across literary sites, she is described as working on a collection of essays about leaving the Catholic Church, a theme that suggests the reflective, personal concerns running through much of her work.
Alongside her writing, she has taught and led workshops through organizations such as The Loft Literary Center, and visiting-artist materials note that she has taught in both community and university settings. Altogether, her profile is that of a literary writer who pairs publication with a strong commitment to teaching and creative mentorship.
