With many years of experience working for globally acclaimed titles such as Daily FX and The Money Show, Nick brings his natural flair for the written word to the brand and has proven himself to be invaluable; especially when The Lazy Trader’s trading team are “too lazy” to do it themselves!

Lisamarie studied English theory at university, and has always been interested in the mechanics of writing, but it wasn’t until 2010 when he daughter was born that she started to write professionally. Although this was out of necessity (it was a job that could be done from home and brought in enough to pay the bills), it soon became a passion, and since that time, Lisamarie has been published in over 40 fiction anthologies and has written seven novels.

As a freelance writer, most of her work is blogging and writing articles, and this works well with her fiction writing, allowing her to exercise both her research skills and her imagination.

Today she lives with her husband, daughter, and a cat called Cheryl in a cottage in the Kent countryside, writing, painting, and – whenever possible – watching horror films.
