Hi, I'm Laurie!

I’m a freelance writer, editor and content strategist in Cochrane, Alberta with 25+ years of experience working on a range of digital and print content projects.

I can help you find the best words to tell your story in a way that inspires engagement and action.

When it comes to crafting the right message, words matter.

"Thank you so much for your feedback and support — I really love your style of writing and editing. I appreciate that you don't overuse the red line of death and simply add little, beautiful touches to make my writing better.”

"Laurie's approach to content creation and communications planning inspires confidence because it always ties back to a sound strategy. I still hear her voice when I review my content for areas I can improve, tighten or edit for redundancy. What Laurie taught me will forever be part of my writing process and I am a better writer for it."
