A historian of postwar Europe and a huge fan of noir, Lisa Lieberman writes dark, immersive mysteries set in the 1950s featuring blacklisted Hollywood people on the lam in dangerous international locales. ALL THE WRONG PLACES, her adaptation of the first book in the Cara Walden historical noir series as a period dramedy for television, won the 2024 Stacey A. Davis fellowship for women screenwriters over 40. Lieberman taught history for many years at Dickinson College and directed their Center in Bologna, Italy. She has held visiting fellowships at the Ohio State University and the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England and was the recipient of a Bourse Chateaubriand for research in Paris. She left the academic world in 2003 to found a nonprofit dedicated to redressing racial, ethnic, and economic inequity in public K-12 schools. One of the highlights was teaching a creative writing workshop at a public charter school in Holyoke, Massachusetts, a high-poverty community with a large percentage of Hispanic residents, and helping her students find their voices. In her spare time, Lieberman lectures on postwar efforts to come to terms (or not) with the trauma of the Holocaust. On the lighter side, she talks about books and movies and leads writing workshops at literary festivals, public libraries, and other venues. She has published essays, translations, short stories and film criticism in Noir City, Gettysburg Review, Raritan, Michigan Quarterly, Mystery Scene, Bright Wall/Dark Room, 3 Quarks Daily, and elsewhere. Media experience includes interviews on National Public Radio’s “To The Best of Our Knowledge” and Australian National Radio’s “All in the Mind,” and a panel discussion on KQED’s public affairs call-in program, “Forum.” She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, The Blacklist, Women in Film-Seattle, Seattle International Film Festival, and past president of Sisters in Crime New England.
