About
Lis Korb is my name, and I’m the face and fingers behind this here blog, ____-smith (or “blanksmith” if you must say it aloud).
A Tahoe City–based freelance writer and editor, I’m known for my slight obsessions with details, consistency and grammar—and find joy in breaking out the red pen (always a Pilot Precise V5 extra fine) when a document is in need. I am passionate about the arts, animals and nature, but enjoy covering just about any topic, including architecture and human interest stories and profiles.
As I pronounced in my first post, I’m using this site to put a little more unfiltered “me” into my writing repertoire, and to update you on my career, life and craft projects along the way.

Hey Lis,
Your blog looks great so far! I have already learned so much about wordpress in just 2 weeks, but have also realized there is so much more to learn. I will check out the WordPress conference info and let you know.
