Author. Speaker. Creative Writing Facilitator.
Inspiring Change, One Story at a Time
I’m Lisa M. Billingham, an author, inspirational speaker and creative writing facilitator from the West Midlands.
I believe in the power of stories to transform lives, inspire positive change and help us see ourselves and the world around us differently.
Through my books, talks and workshops, I use stories and creative writing to encourage confidence, self-expression, creativity and personal growth.
My Story
My writing journey began in 2020 when I wrote my debut novel, Katie, A New Chapter.
What started as a personal writing project became something much more meaningful. The story explored themes of confidence, self-love, friendship, mental wellbeing and finding the courage to make a change.
The book went on to have an impact I could never have imagined and reinforced something I had already begun to discover: stories can reach people in ways that ordinary conversations sometimes cannot. Put simply – it saved a life!
Since then, my writing journey has continued to grow.
I now write for both adults and children, creating stories that entertain, inspire and encourage readers to see what might be possible.
More Than Books
Writing is only one part of what I do.
I also create and deliver creative writing workshops, inspirational talks and interactive sessions for adults, organisations, schools and community settings.
My Healing Through Creative Writing Programme brings together practical writing activities, gentle wellbeing guidance and creative exercises to help people explore their thoughts, express themselves and develop greater confidence.
I also work with children through author visits and creative workshops, encouraging them to read, write, use their imaginations and discover the joy of storytelling.
Whether I’m speaking to an audience, leading a workshop or writing a book, my aim is the same:
to inspire people to find their voice and believe in their ability to create change.
Stories for Every Stage of Life
My work spans different ages and audiences, but there is a common thread running through it all.
Connection.
Creativity.
Confidence.
Hope.
Change.
For adults, that might mean discovering the confidence to tell their story.
For a child, it might mean opening a book and discovering a whole new world.
For someone taking part in a creative writing workshop, it might simply mean finding the words to express something they have never been able to say before.
I believe every story matters.
And sometimes, one story can be the beginning of a new chapter.
