Submission Call: Meet Lisa Sullivan of L.A.S. Books

Hi all, I’m honored to have Lisa Sullivan stop by today and chat with us about L.A.S. Books. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lisa about  5 or 6 years now.  She’s a great writer and a wonderful editor, I call upon her services often to whip my WIPS into shape.


Lisa SullivanHi, La-Tessa. Thank you so much for giving me a moment to share some information about L.A.S. Books with your readers.

I’ll begin with a little info about me. In addition to being the owner of L.A.S. Books (more on that in a bit), I am the author of Ghosts of the Mid-Atlantic, an historical collection of light paranormal tales centered on haunted people and places in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. My fiction work has finaled in the Western Pennsylvania Romance Writers 2009 Paranormal Flash Fiction (“Soul for Sale,” Paranormal); Wisconsin RWA 2009 Fab Five (Pyramus Lost, Historical Romance); Chicago-North RWA 2012 Fire & Ice (Pulse, Paranormal Romance); and Yellow Rose RWA 2012 Winter Rose (Pulse, Paranormal Romance).

While I continue to write fiction and non-fiction, my forte seems to be helping new and published writers achieve their writing goals. This is why I am expanding the publishing arm of L.A.S. Books.

L.A.S Books is a growing publishing company based in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia (about an hour northwest of Washington, D.C.). Among our services, we provide coaching for writers, editorial assistance, and publication of print books and ebooks over 25,000 words.

In addition to bringing in new clients for our coaching and editorial assistance services, we are currently seeking new authors for publication. Any genre of fiction and non-fiction will be considered except erotica, violent fiction, and works with intense themes. Our review process is straightforward:  submissions are primarily evaluated on the quality of the work, the author’s professionalism, how well we think the book would sell, and whether we enjoyed reading the work ourselves.

We are open to considering a variety of works, yet we are highly selective about the quality of the work and the potential of our authors, publishing perhaps only four new books each year at this time. Only the cream of the crop manuscripts pass through to our readership. This principle is how we build our customers’ trust and create a win-win-win for our loyal readers, our first-rate authors, and our company. You will find more information on our Submissions page.

Thank you again, La-Tessa, for letting me share this news with your readers. To learn more about L.A.S. Books, please visit:

    Hello from sunny Portland, Oregon!
    And thank you La-Tessa for hosting Lisa. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa a year ago while living in West Virginia and I have been following her work since. I really enjoyed Ghosts of the Mid-Atlantic. Do you think you will write any other West Virginia based books or stories?

    Hi, Corey. Thanks for stopping by to visit. One of my favorite stories from Ghosts of the Mid-Atlantic is set in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, where I interviewed many folks about the numerous hauntings in and around Storer College (an historical AA college now owned by the National Park Service that operated from the post-Civil War era to the mid-1900s). The 2013 collection features more stories from our area, including a critical “Mommy Knows Best” entity who haunts a new Martinsburg mom. Plus, my spooky short that twists the idea of “eternal love” is set on the Harpers Ferry bridge and will be included in a short story collection this year. So, yes, West Virginia and other fantastic locations are represented in my work, and you might even find a “Portland Surprise” in there, too!

    Interesting post. Too bad you didn’t list poetry as one of your publishing passions! (They say a sheet of paper costs about one cent, but if you write a poem on it, you can’t give it away.)

    I will forward your post to my mystery romance novelist wife Christine Hope Duewel.

    Cheers, Ed

    Too funny Ed!- LOL I dabble in poetry from time to time myself and I have a cousin who’s poet, so I understand where you’re coming from. 🙂

    But you know, a little poetry is good for the soul, even if it’s under appreciated 🙂

    Thanks for stopping by, Ed! For your poetry, I will make an exception since you’re a good chap. I can’t wait to read Chrisine’s work. 😉
