Bio
Laura M. LaVoie is a freelance writer living in Decatur,
Georgia with her partner, Matt. After 15 years as
a recruiter in the temporary staffing industry, Laura quit her job in 2012 to
move to the mountains of Western North Carolina and write full time. Things
changed again in the summer of 2018 when Matt was accepted into the Emory
University School of Law. This return to Atlanta, where they lived for 10
years, marks the next adventure for two people who have a hard time sitting
still.
Laura is a co-founder of Asheville Small Home Advocacy
Committee, an organization dedicated to making tiny homes more legally viable
in the city of Asheville. She is also half of the administrative team for the
NotMom Summit, the only conference for women without children, held in
Cleveland, Ohio. The bulk of her work day to day is content creation for small
businesses and marketing companies.
She’s the author of four books, currently available on Amazon, about tiny homes, finding a job, and enjoying beer.
Laura also takes time to work on her own projects, currently
a novel. She enjoys traveling all around the world with favorite destinations
including Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Cardiff in Wales, Sienna Italy, and
Savannah, Georgia. She is really into cocktails right now and is learning to
make them as well as excelling at drinking them. Other interests are general
geekery, a love of television storytelling, and costuming.
