My name is Laurel. That's me over there. I am a publishing professional with experience in marketing and publicity, project management, writing, editing, and design. I have an MA in Writing and Publishing from Portland State University, and a BA in English from the University of Oregon.

I got into this work, first and foremost, because I believe the stories we tell matter, and because I love helping people find narratives that resonate with them.

People I've had the pleasure of working with in the past include the fine folks at Pomegranate Communications, D.C. Jacobson & Associates Literary Agency, Harper Perennial, Ooligan Press, Tin House Books, and Zeal Books. (And before I went to grad school, I worked at Nike for a couple of years—I’ve been around.)
