World Editions is thrilled to welcome Lisa Grgas to our Editorial Team!
Lisa Grgas earned BAs in English Language and Literature and Creative Writing and an MFA in Creative Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University. She was awarded the Beverly Saul Award for Creative Writing and nominated for the English Department’s Theodore Ross Prize. Her thesis was nominated for a Portz Prize sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council. Lisa joined The Literary Review as an intern in 2003 and served as Supervising Editor until the journal’s closure twenty years later. She also reviewed titles and interviewed writers for Adroit Journal and read submissions for Tin House, Bellevue Literary Review, Poetry Northwest and Tiferet Journal. Lisa says about joining World Editions: “After losing TLR to budget cuts, I was seeking a fresh opportunity that could pay homage to my former EOC, Minna Proctor. Minna is a talented translator and introduced me to World Editions – so this is a perfect opportunity to channel all she’s taught me into a new creative space.” We are so happy to have Lisa on board!
