I’m going on an ADVENTURE!

The Journey from a Newbie to a Novelist –

Hey, I’m Laura! I’m a marketing specialist by day, and a dreamer, writer, wife, and champion of aspiring authors all of the time. I launched this site in 2020 and though that year was a dumpster fire, this little love child came out of it. I built my site to be both a resource for the Newbie and seasoned writer alike. You’ll find I gravitate toward articles on writing craft, but also like to include topics like book marketing, publishing, and really anything trending on BookTok.

I’m a bookworm through and through, but fantasy––specifically all things weird and magical––is my vibe. Plus I weave love and romance into everything I write (well, except maybe my blog posts… that might get a notch too weird).

I live in the sunshine state of Florida because I hate winter and like Disney. I’m guilty of several “bookish girl” stereotypes, including a color-coded bookshelf and a love of candles, except that I hate drinking tea.
