ABOUT LAURENI have been writing since I was five years old. The written word has been one of the most constant things that has sustained me throughout my entire life. Simply put, writing is my therapy, my drive, and something I am driven on a soul level to do.
I was born in Afton, Wyoming on March 3rd, 1983, and throughout my childhood, I traveled to and lived in many different places, including southern California, the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Baja California and many of the beautiful cities and town throughout the United States. Travel is another passion that has been with me since childhood. I believe that the best education one can receive is through experiencing different areas, cultures and sights. |
I attended Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont and earned a B.S. in Social Science with a concentration in anthropology and sociology. I am fascinated by different cultures and societies, and a great deal of my writing reflects this passion. Throughout my college years, I worked as a writing consultant, helping students with everything from proofreading their papers to developing proper grammar and an academic tone.
I am currently working on developing and publishing three of my own manuscripts. One focuses upon the spiritual and medicinal properties of different herbs, flowers and plants, the second is geared around animal totems and animals in folklore across various cultures, while the latest is about haunted locations in the state of Vermont. I am strongly drawn to subjects related to spirituality, natural healing as well as the supernatural and the occult. In order to be a good writer, I believe that one must also be an avid reader. Some of my favorite authors include Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Alice Hoffman, Jack Kerouac, Sherman Alexie, Richard Bach, Lewis Carroll and Richard Matheson.
About a year ago, at a friend’s urging, I decided to try my hand at freelance writing. Since then, I have worked my way up to becoming one of the top rated freelancers on Upwork, with a 99% success rate. I am skilled at content writing, proofreading and article writing, with a particular passion for anything related to travel and/or spiritual subjects.
Writing, travel and spirituality are the three major cornerstones of my life. It is my goal to bring these three together to eventually enable myself to do what I love the most on an everyday basis.
