Hi, I’m Laura Conaway
I sat in an elementary school assembly enamored by the author’s presentation as he shared the process of writing and what it was like to create a story. When he gave us the opportunity to write our own story, I thought I’d discovered the largest treasure chest of gold!
Words hold meaning and power when they are strung together strategically and that was enough for me to fall in love. To this day, I don’t remember which author came to our school or any part of his presentation, but I was able to see that writing books was possible!
From penning my very first story on a small white, hardcover book titled The Three Little Frogs and the Mean Moray Eel to writing play scripts with friends and acting them out, I’ve always been fascinated with imagining something and bringing it to life. I’m happy to say my writing skills have improved since that first story and the wise decision was made to put my acting ambitions on hold.
Fast forward to college, and I graduated with a degree in professional writing and library science. For a season, I worked as a middle school librarian, surrounded by books all day. Now I have the privilege of creating stories the Lord has placed on my heart for others to read!
I’ve now written for a variety of publications including Live Original by Sadie Robertson, Sunrise Publishing, and Love Inspired Suspense.
With a smoothie in hand, peppermint oil diffusing, and sunlight streaming through my writing nook window, there’s enough motivation to keep me going.
But the best part is knowing I get to write for the Lord. I’m always in awe of how God orchestrates our gifts to bring Him glory. There’s nothing sweeter than using the words He’s given me to point others back to Him. My constant prayer is this: Lord, even if this story only impacts one person, it will be worth it. And He has been faithful to specifically answer that request time and time again. I’m excited to see where the Lord leads in the years to come as I write, and I’m grateful to have faithful reader friends like you to journey with!
