Meet Lisa Colburn
Writer. Creativity Coach. Writing Workshop Leader. Bibliophile.
I love stories, don't you? In 2012, after a 20-year career in publishing, I founded Market Street Writers just so I could have more of them! I love creating sacred, safe spaces for writers to discover, play, connect, and deepen their craft in all genres. My workshops are online and in Leesburg, Virginia. The joy of writing is for everyone who seeks it. Come explore with me!
Offerings
Marlis M.
"Lisa has a gift for finding the common threads emerging in any group, enabling deeper exploration through inspirational readings, targeted writing exercises, and facilitated sharing. At the same time, she meets each of her clients where they are, offering tailored tips, suggestions, affirmation, and support for our unique talents, projects, challenges, and processes. I highly recommend Lisa's offerings for anyone on the writer's path."

"Your class has been more than fun. It’s been an outlet and stress reliever that has allowed me to enjoy some private space and reflection as well as the encouragement of you and the other wonderful women I’ve met in your classes. As Kurt Vonnegut said, 'To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow.' You’ve facilitated my soul growth - thank you!"
Sue M.
"Lisa’s workshop was filled with a variety of good prompts that stretched my imagination and took my writing into new directions. The feedback I received from the group was insightful and encouraging. I loved hearing what the other women wrote and was inspired by the creative energy all around me. Lisa is an excellent facilitator who moves the group seamlessly to new depths of understanding about the art and craft of writing.”
