From working with producers, agents, editors, copyeditors, marketing folks, and publicity teams, to handling complex calendar matters and finding the right-business-card-designer at the right time, Laura has helped me become a more productive, enthusiastic, and successful writer and speaker. My thanks to her are only equaled by my applause for her. She’s the best.”
