Hi, I’m Laura

I’ve been writing professionally since 2013, and for quite a few years before that it was a big part of my job too. Words have always been one of my biggest passions, and writing has been part of my life since I was a child.

In 2013 I changed my career from Archaeology to writing, switching the trowel for the pen. I got an exciting role as Digital Communications Manager at the Local Government Association in London, followed by a Digital marketing role at one of Ireland’s largest agri-food businesses, Monaghan Mushrooms.

While on maternity leave in 2015, I decided to fly solo and follow my dream of becoming self-employed. Since then I’ve worked with many amazing brands, businesses and individuals on all sorts of projects. My words have been used on websites, social media, advertisements, thought leadership articles and many other places.

Creativity is also a big part of my life, and blending it with strategic thinking is a skills I'm proud of. As well as writing copy, I also offer creative direction and work with experts in other fields to offer full branding services to my clients. I'm pretty good with a camera too, if you need photos for press events, social media or your website.

A bit more about me

When I’m not sitting at my desk writing, you will probably find me running the roads in training for my next marathon, or hiking somewhere in the Mourne Mountains (stopping every five minutes to take photographs).

Health, fitness, food and wellbeing are a huge passions for me. I love reading, chatting and writing about them. I'm on a mission to save trees and volunteer with the Gaelic Woodland Project whenever there's a chance.

I'm always reading something, particularly historic non-fiction or contemporary literature. My pile of unfinished London Review of Books publications gives me anxiety.

Art is one of my biggest passions, I studied at art college and have an active painting practice.
