My name is Laura and I write young adult horror books. On this channel, I chronicle my journey towards becoming a traditionally published young adult author. I also love to read writing craft books and I review them on here as well. I also have a writing craft book club, Let's Talk Craft: A Book Club for Writers, where we read and discuss craft books during live streams.
