About Creative Adventures
Over the past
thirty years many fine writers have helped me find my voice,
develop my vision, and perfect my craft. Even
today, as a well-published and award-winning poet and writer,
I am still learning and growing as an artist. I find that
mentoring other writers creates a special, nurturing experience
for me as well. I
do not know everything and I will not claim that I can make you
a financially successful author. What I can do is help
you become the best writer you are capable of becoming.

What Clients Say
“Laurie has the skill to take ordinary prose and turn it into
something powerful, electrifying, and publishable. I have written
fifty books, six of which have won awards, and would never consider
submitting a manuscript without subjecting it to Laurie’s visionary
editing.” --W.C. Jameson, Beating the Devil
“Laurie is a woman with an acute eye for writing, and a wonderful
heart for teaching. She’s an acclaimed poet and an astute
reader, a woman with a wide life experience, which always makes a
fine writer and the best sort of compassionate critic. Her
teaching is exemplary.” --Paulette Jiles, Enemy Women
"Without Laurie's gentle encouragement,
I would have never even tried to be a writer. Without her
serious and conscientious critiques, I wouldn't have grown as a
writer." Melinda Green Harvey, Freelance Author
"Laurie
is a thorough reader who catches errors and inconsistencies on
the page. She engages in dialogue with writers enabling
them to write the story they want to write in their own voice. She's
especially adept at utilizing the senses and helping writers to
bring original, even poetic, language to their work." Jan
Williams, Texas Duet
