“Hey Everyone! Let’s all meet at 3:00 on Wednesday to build the world. Oh, and bring a bag of sand.”

:: DESCRIPTION OF AUTHOR BY FRIEND OF AUTHOR

The self-taught art of daydreaming launched Isenberg on a writing-producing-marketing career when, at 8 years old, her story “King C” was selected for Oakland University’s Young Authors Conference. Proud of her accomplishment, Isenberg immediately picked up the phone to call the local press (The Birmingham Eccentric), insisting the operator connect her with the Birmingham Excedrin. Later, Isenberg attended the University of Michigan, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language & Literature, a minor in Film Studies, and an MBA audit, along the way divining the difference between her personality type and the drug store cure for folks who have trouble keeping up with her free-wheeling imagination.

Ambitions to write and produce Hollywood mainstream movies propelled Isenberg to LA, where she racked up credits on Tri-Star Picture’s I Love You to Death (Kevin Kline, Keanu Reeves), MGM’s Youngblood (Rob Lowe, Cynthia Gibb), Showtime’s Bordello, the teen dance drama True Vinyl, and was co-creator and executive producer on the Fine Living Network series I::Design.  In addition to her mainstream film, TV, internet and publishing credits, Isenberg, known as Zoom, founded the renowned Hollywood Literary Retreat & Seminars (www.HollywoodLiteraryRetreat.com).

As an innovator of content creation and brand strategy for multi-media platforms, Isenberg launched Focus Media, Inc., paving the way for branded entertainment with clients that include Petco, Paramount Pictures, SOYJOY, Herman Miller, Dignity Memorial, Legacy.com, Eternal Image, TaylorMade Golf, Sundance, Activision, etc.  As part of her mulit-media platform approach, her first entrepreneurial comedy novel, My Life Uncovered, attracted a network bidding war.  To market her second comedy novel, The Funeral Planner, Isenberg launched the real life business Lights Out Enterprises,  The Tribute Network, and tribute video Jack the Mench, which received front page publicity in the New York Times landing her guest appearances on NBC’s Today Show, CBS’s Early Show, NPR, and international media, as well as becoming a Celebrity Partner to the National Hospice Foundation and 1800Flowers.com.  The Funeral Planner is now a Trilogy Series and Digital Series featuring singer-celebrity Joss Stone at www.TheTributeNetwork.com!   Isenberg resides in Marina del Rey, CA and writes at Clark Lake, MI and where her four legged daughter Tao provides both inspiration and playful distraction.  She holds a Masters in Spiritual Psychology from USM and an Adjunct Professor of Multi-Media, Entertainment, Marketing & Technology at LMU.
