Liza Monroy

I'm an energetic, persistent and thorough writer specializing in arts & culture, personal essays, lifestyle, travel, health and fitness, reviews and more. My essay in The New York Times' Modern Love column has been selected for the "Best of Modern Love" anthology. I covered Mexico City and five side-trips for MTV's new travel guidebook series published through Frommer's. I'm looking to work with more women's magazines and continue writing about travel. I've lived in Italy, Mexico, Holland, the Czech Republic and Venezuela, and speak three languages. I love tackling new assignments, immersing myself in reporting, researching, creating and revising until my pieces are as strong as they can be. Please visit www.lizamonroy.com for clips, bio and more. I look forward to working with you.
