Lyzette Wanzer, Author & Writing Instructor

A member of Intersection for the Arts

Lyzette's next project, Building A Career as a Literary Artist of Color, gets underway in 2023! Lyzette is writing this book, especially geared for BIPOC creative writers, as an empowering, vital resource addressing the nuts and bolts of establishing a sustainable literary career. If you are serious, committed writer of color invested in developing yourself as a professional, this book will be an invaluable guide for you.


Currently, Lyzette is touring with TRAUMA, TRESSES, & TRUTH: Untangling Our Hair Through Personal Narratives, an essay collection interrogating the perception, policing, persecution, and politics of Afro Latina and African American women's natural hair in American society. Library Journal has named the title one of the Top 10 Best Social Science Books of 2022.
