Beth Lisick (born December 13, 1968 Saratoga, California) is an American writer, performer, and author of five books. With Arline Klatte, she co-founded the Porchlight Storytelling Series[1] of open-mic spoken word performances in San Francisco in 2002.[2][3] Her spoken word performances were featured at the Lollapalooza festival in 1994, the South by Southwest Music Festival in 1996 and 1997, and Lilith Fair in 1998.[4] She has toured with Sister Spit. She has also performed sketch comedy with the group White Noise Radio Theatre[5] and has an ongoing film and stage collaboration with Tara Jepsen.[6]

In 2009, she appeared in the film Everything Strange and New, directed by award-winning American filmmaker Frazer Bradshaw. The film screened at numerous festivals including Sundance Film Festival,[7] Munich Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival,[8] and the San Francisco International Film Festival,[9] where it won the FIPRESCI Award.

In 2011 she received a grant from the Creative Work Fund to collaborate on a book project with Creativity Explored. The result is a ten-part series of chapbooks entitled Tell You What.
