![]() ![]() Lisa holds a BA in English from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio a joint master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and Pastoral Ministry from Boston College and an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. ![]() She has contributed to the anthologies Verses Typhoon Yolanda: A Storm of Filipino Poets (Pawa Press, 2014) and Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Frontlines(PM Press, 2016). Her publishing credits include The Rumpus, The Independent (UK), Refinery 29, The Feminist Wire, Mutha, and Bitch. Lisa is a longtime contributor and editor at make/shift magazine and has also worked as a nonfiction editor with Literary Mama. The Publishers Weekly review reminds me of Lisa herself-a Filipina-American writer, poet, and editorial director at Bitch Media committed to making the publishing and editing worlds more inclusive, equitable, and accessible for writers of color. Gloria Steinem praised Dear Sister, and Publishers Weekly hailed it for offering “comfort, solidarity, reassurance, the possibility of healing.” The collection consists of fifty letters from writers, activists, artists, and students who are survivors of sexual assault. Last year, I heard through the social media grapevine that the anthology Lisa Factora-Borchers had edited, Dear Sister: Letters from Survivors of Sexual Violence(AK Press, 2014), was going into a second printing. ![]()
