Laura
Collins started writing short stories in the 2nd grade and has been writing ever since. With a BA in English, a graduate degree in theology and post-graduate
study in both writing and counseling, Laura spent 24 years working with nonprofits and churches before starting
her own business. Her experience
in writing and public speaking, along with her work in organizational leadership and as a counselor, creates a distinctive mix of qualifications.
Laura offers peace of mind, personal
support, encouragement and expertise as you find the tools you need to be a
better storyteller, better speaker or better fundraiser. With a dependable, caring
presence, and an eye and ear for quality, she can produce quickly under
deadline or walk with you through an unhurried writing process.
