'''Lizzie Stark''' is an American journalist and author of the book ''[[Leaving Mundania|Leaving Mundania: Inside the Transformative World of Live Action Role-playing Games]]'' (2012, Chicago Review Press, [[2012]]), which explains larp to a mainstream audience from a variety of angles. Although ''Leaving Mundania'' focuses primarily on larp in the US, the last two chapters deal with the author's trip to [[Knudepunkt 2011]]. <br>
In 2012 her presentation "Playing in Graveyards: When terror collides with larp" was part of the [[Nordic Larp Talks]].<br>
In 2013 she co-edited [[Larps from the Factory]], a collection of Norwegian larp scripts with [[Elin Nilsen]] and [[Trine Lise Lindahl]]. In 2013 she co-edited #[[Feminism: A Nano-Game Anthology]].

Stark's games include the freeform game [[The Curse]], about decision making and hereditary breast cancer; [[In Residency]], about life in an artists' colony; [[This Miracle]] (with Nick Fortugno), about the origins of religion; and "Manic Pixie Dream Girl Commandos," a contribution to #Feminism.<br>
Along with many house cons, and the short lived Highland Park Players, in New Jersey, Stark served as the lead organizer of the US re-run of [[Mad About the Boy]] in Orange, Connecticut in 2012, and as a program lead for Living Games Austin 2016. <br>
