Becoming a Writer
Before becoming a full-time author, Lisi Harrison worked at MTV in New York City for 12 years. She helped create new TV shows for the network.
From TV to Books
Lisi Harrison learned a lot about what teenagers like while working at MTV. She realized that everyone wants to fit in and be accepted. This experience reminded her of middle school life. It also gave her the idea for her very popular book series, The Clique.
She started writing the first two books in The Clique series while still working at MTV. This way, she would still have a job if her writing career didn't work out. But her books became a huge success! After selling over 9 million copies of The Clique series, she left her job at MTV in 2004. From then on, she focused only on writing.
