Laura is a writer of fiction for young adults and children. Her novel Dirt, a dystopian eco-romance, was published by Habitat Press in 2025 and won ‘Best Book for Teenagers’ in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. In July 2026, Habitat Press is publishing her new YA novel, Nourish, which was longlisted for the Yeovil Literary Prize.

Laura is on the editorial team of Bending The Arc, a thrutopia magazine on Substack, which publishes stories, poems and features that bend the arc of the possible towards a thriving future on Earth. Her novel, Enough, was one of three finalists in the Mslexia Children’s Novel Competition and longlisted for the Times / Chicken House Children’s fiction Competition, and will be published late 2026.

Laura is a firm believer in ‘imagination activism’ and loves books that ask big questions, usually starting ‘What if . . . ?’ She enjoys the challenge of creating alternative possible futures in her writing, and hopes that by imagining different worlds we’ll be able to build a better one.
