Lisa Kogan is the Writer at Large for O, the Oprah Magazine, which has a circulation of over 2 million readers, as well as the author of a monthly column, Lisa Kogan Tells All, which deals with everything from her life as a single, working mother in New York City to her quest for a decent tomato, a comfortable sofa bed, and a good, solid dental plan. Prior to Oprah, Kogan, whose work has been anthologized in several collections, worked at 7 Days (which folded), Egg (which folded), and Mirabella (which folded)...Needless to say, Miss Winfrey was not aware of any of this when Lisa was hired. She also spent 7 years as the Writer at Large for ELLE magazine where her essays were once described as a cross between George Plimpton and Gidget.
