Hi, I’m Laurel Brady.

My Services
-
Writing
I specialize in writing comedies/comedic-leaning work, which balances the light and dark of this absurd journey referred to as life. After all, no matter how hard life gets, many of us use humour to get through it, and my work reflects that.
-
Story Editing/Story Consulting
No matter how amazing of a writer you are, we all need a pair of eyes on our work at some point in our creative process. Yes, even you. Allow me to read, give notes, and have a one-on-one session so that we can make sure your story, novel, or script is fully executing your ambitious, storytelling goals.

For The Love Of Writing Workshops
Fall in love with your writing again with my writing workshop, “For The Love of Writing.” These workshops are perfect for those new and blocked writers.
Let’s Laugh
Don't get me wrong; I like to sob to sad stories as much as the next gal who attended theatre school. But I also love creating work that makes people laugh and THEN cry (when they least expect it). Maybe this is because I'm a monster, or perhaps it's because I know comedies can lure audiences into a false sense of security, having them laugh away unsuspectingly before they are punched in the face with feelings and hard truths. It's in this in-between place of light and dark where I want my work to live. Since this feels most accurate to life.
The truth is no one I know processes the tragedies in their lives with a sombre, bleak reverence 100% of the time, and so, neither should (all) stories. Comedies have the power to let people's guard down, to address and point out the flaws in more complex issues without people getting their backs up, and, most importantly, comedies allow people to LAUGH. Remember laughter? It's pretty great.
