Ruth's article "Best Practices for Writing 'Conferencing'"
As a child hiding under the covers to read book after book, Lisa Lowe Stauffer secretly longed to write fiction herself. She also wanted pet monkeys. But first she had to write her way through journalism, marketing, consulting, travel writing, and poetry.
Her work has appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Miami Herald, Literary Mama, Stories for Children, and numerous business websites, brochures, newsletters, press releases and magazine articles.
With the publication of Two By Two (Zonderkidz, 2018), both of her childhood wishes came true . . . although the pet monkeys are two small puppets who claim the book as their own. Check #monkeys2 on Twitter to see their adventures.
