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 for television, won the Stowe Story Labs 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. 

​​​​​​​After dragging their three children all over Europe while they were growing up, Lisa and her husband have settled in the Pacific Northwest. A member of the Northwest Screenwriters Guild, The Blacklist, Women in Film-Seattle, Seattle International Film Festival, Seattle Jewish Film Festival and past president of Sisters in Crime New England, she is currently adapting the other books in her historical mystery series for the screen.
