Hi! I'm Lara. Welcome to my virtual home!

Instagram @LaratheLark

*exhale* Done with my fourth residency, finished my critical thesis presentation, still somehow channeling Courbet’s “Desperate Man” even though I feel <whatever the opposite emotion of desperate is> On to my last semester! #HamlineMFAC #MFACLara

Yesterday Me, you survived tonight’s reading. And Today Me has evidence that people laughed at your weird sense of humor, so now we can all be equipped for Next Month Me’s imposter syndrome*! All the love to the talented (and supportive) #hamlinemfac readers! 😍 *The all too familiar ”Why do I even try, I’m a worthless writer syndrome”

I’ve been waiting half my life to share the LOTR movies with my kids. The day has come. Happy (belated) birthday, Tolkien.

First books of 2020! Finally got to finish The Last of August and am diving straight into The Case for Jamie, books 2 and 3 of the Charlotte Holmes series, featuring Jamie, an adorkable hungry rugby player and Charlotte, a girl who keeps too many secrets. These are perfect reads for winter break, by the way! What’s your first read of 2020? #charlotteholmes #jamiewatson #thelastofaugust #acaseforjamie #brittanycavallaro #shelfie

December’s additions to the shelf. I’m going to have to do some major rearranging to accommodate the last year of book additions... #shelfie #amilynholdo #harrypotter #smarthulk #funkopop #funkofivestar #suckithaters

I don’t make resolutions because I already put too much pressure on myself. But I’d like to come back to art and music and theatre in the 20s, and if I post any art on here, I’m thinking my 2020 #yearincolor won’t quite look like this one. #yearincolour

2009 vs 2019. 10 years married to my fellow Star Wars nerd, riding the SW roller coaster together.

Being up in the mountains again made me go full Bilbo (Mountains, Gandalf!!) wanting to finish my WIP up in the mountain air or write something inspired by my growing up in Colorado. My family spent a night up by Mt Baker with the in-laws. So much warmer in Washington than MN! Hope you all get some more green time in 2020. I definitely need it.

7 TIPS FOR WRITING REALISTIC DIALOGUE

About Me

I've been grading grammar homework since 2005 and editing fiction and poetry since 2008. In 2013, I started editing comics and full manuscripts for novelists and literary agents.

Read "7 Reasons to Make Me Your Editor."

In 2015, I assembled a team of freelance editors of various specialties.

In 2018, I started my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Hamline University.

See what I'm up to.
