Hello, I'm Laura!

I've ghostwritten bestselling books on natural and spiritual living, holistic health, and self-confidence. Books I've collaborated on have been selected for traditional publication by Bridge City Books (PESI) and O-Books (Collective Ink). At Open Spiral, my publishing imprint, I've edited and published books endorsed by Robert Moss, Sandra Ingerman, and Four Arrows, including Susan L. Herrmann's Breaking Up with the Patriarchy, which was featured on Handsome Podcast and in Midwest Book Review.

I'm the author of The Soul-Driven Author's Nonfiction Book Planning Guide, and in 2024 the San Francisco Examiner listed me among its 15 Book Coaches to Follow. My own life writing has appeared in The Dark Mountain Project and Halfway Down the Stairs.

My MA is in Social Ecology and Anthropology, my BA in Sustainable Community Development, both from Prescott College. When I'm not inside someone else's manuscript, I'm outside. I live off the grid in Washington's Okanogan highlands, among a handful of people and a good many animals who hold me here. The wood gets chopped, the water gets carried, and the goats get milked and fed.
