Hello! I'm Laura Stroud
I help people tell the stories they’ve always wanted to tell.
As a ghostwriter, I love listening and learning. Crafting stories that capture the exact tone of voice and the heart of a story is such a privilege.
As a creative writing teacher and coach, I love building confidence and skills, helping writers to finally hold a finished copy of a manuscript in their hands. I believe creative writing is for everyone and I deliver courses and create writing tools at derbyshirewritingschool.com.
As an author, I love documenting my life through stories. Capturing magic moments on the page and remembering my life story by story.
I have an MA in Creative Writing and lecture at the University of Derby, where I'm also a doctoral researcher exploring how creative writing can build psychological safety in the workplace.
Read my blog posts, listen to my podcast, or join my monthly newsletter for writing advice, prompts, and the encouragement to finally tell your story.
Work with me
Have you always wanted to write a book, but you don’t know where to start?
Do you have a story to tell, but you don’t have the time to write it down?
Are you looking for an experienced creative writing workshop teacher, but you want something a bit different and unique?
I can help. Let’s get your story told.
I can help you feel inspired. I create and deliver bespoke workshops and teach courses for writing groups, schools, and businesses.
I can help you create. I provide a ghostwriting service. Writing non-fiction books and personal memoirs. I am represented by an agent at Watson, Little Literary Agency, and I’m always on the lookout for a powerful story to share.
I can help you to finally finish your novel. I run 1-1 coaching sessions to help you create a plan, find time to write and finish your book.
If you’d like some specific examples of my work, please let me know. I’ll be happy to send over links and testimonials. Or you can buy my books.
Fancy working together? I’d love to hear from you. I like to talk about all things books and writing, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch: info@laurastroudauthor.com
