ABOUT - LISA HODOROVYCH
My fifth grade year book proving my "Future Goal" was to be an "Author".
Me in, I believe, Pennsylvania. I took this during my honeymoon in the Catkills. My husband and I found a small town in PA not too far from where we were staying with a comic book shop and a brewery in it. Yup, we're those people! :-)
Took a break while touring Ernest Hemingway's house in Key West, FL (#paradise) to do a little writing.
Hello!
​
My name is Lisa Hodorovych. I am the owner of Quoth the Writer, L.L.C. I am also an author.
​
I am a Jersey girl, born and raised. Ever since I was little I have always loved telling stories. I remember when my family would come over for certain holidays, I would tell them a plethora of different stories that I just made up and they would listen...or at least I thought they were.
When I started going to school, the elementary school I attended had a "small publishing company" in it that was run by some parents. I would constantly give them stories to "publish" for me. Even in my fifth grade yearbook, under my photo, I put "Author" under "Future Goal". It was like I knew what my destiny was!
While studying Creative Writing (and English Literature and Communications) at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ, I worked for their literary journal, The Literary Review. Even though I was doing odd and end jobs like filing, making copies, organizing, etc., I also learned about editing and proofreading. This is where my love and passion for the publishing world started.
​
After graduating in 2009, it was extremely hard for me to find any job in the publishing industry, so I went back into retail to make ends meet. Finally, in September of 2015, a friend of mine decided to go back to school to receive her master's in teaching. She needed help with her papers, and I was there for her. It was work here and there, but I loved every second of it and I wanted to make it more full-time. As of 2018, I did!
When I am not working, you can find me watching movies/TV or spending time with my family, my friends, or my husband. As I mentioned earlier, I am also an author and a vlogger. To learn more about them, just click on their respective links.
