Lisa Shames’s Biography
Print and digital writer, editor, storyteller, copywriter and strategic content manager with an expertise for crafting the stories and passion of others.
For six years as the senior/dining editor of three Chicago magazines, I covered the local dining and culture scene, including articles on new restaurants, events, travel, health and wellness, interior design, weddings and retail.
As a freelance writer for 15 years for publications such as Chicago Tribune, Block Club Chicago, OpenTable, Chicago Mag, Timeout Chicago and Chicago Sun-Times, I've covered topics ranging from texture in cocktails and how a group of chefs tailgate to new trends in bar design and hotel restaurants.
