THE STORYTELLING WITH LOVE METHOD

Hello Storyteller! I'm Lisa.

I’m Lisa, the heart and soul of Storytelling With Love. I’m a full time professional Creative Writing Coach, Writer Myself, Actress and Singer, from Sardinia and trasplanted in the beautiful Vienna. 𑣲⋆ In this blog, I share stories and tips to support writers with their Novels, Scripts and Plays with a healthy mindset, a sustainable structure and lots of love. I’m also a UCLA Screenwriting Graduate, I hold a Master’s Degree in Cinema and Television (so yeah, I’ll be referring to Jane the Virgin , Mrs Maisel , Gilmore Girls in a professional way ) and a Workshop Host (LOOVE seeing my students finishing their first draft - and yes I get emotional every time).

At the moment I’m learning German (3 hours a day! - poor me), re-editing my own Novel and investing time online so that the right audience can find my resources! Hope this is you.
