Craft, Subject Expertise, The Business of Writing
Lori has been teaching about writing craft since 2002, including six years at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. She has presented workshops for Willamette Writers, Oregon Writers Colony, Sisters in Crime, the Golden Crown Literary Society (GCLS), and many other organizations. She shares an extensive library of articles, books, and personal knowledge any time she does a presentation. She was the Keynote Speaker at the GCLS 2014 Annual Conference and has given many public presentations.
Lori L. Lake is the author of 14 novels, six of which are crime fiction focused on lesbian police officers. Her short work is featured in over a dozen anthologies including: Once Upon a Crime; The Silence of the Loons; Dark Side of the Loon; and Lesbians on the Loose: Crime Writers on the Lam. Lori was a small press publisher for eight years, has frequently taught the craft of writing, and continues to edit and assist other authors. A Minnesotan for 26 years, Lori now lives with her partner in Oregon at the Fortress of Solitude where she tries to write daily. Or weekly. Or whenever possible. She has nearly completed a collection of short stories about revenge and retribution tentatively titled Best Served Cold, which she hopes will see the light of day before the end of 2026.
