A SELECTION OF BOOKS I HAVE EDITED
“I have loved working with Laura, and have sent so many friends and colleagues her way. I tell people she is like training wheels when you first learn how to bike — she got me going, and at some point it all just ‘clicked’ and I learned to balance on my own. One of the best things is that in my first major book project (Our Bodies Belong to God), I would call Laura at all stages of the project — when I had a mess of a dissertation draft, an ‘almost-there’ revised chapter, or even just thoughts in my head that were all knotted that I had to talk through. Laura was writing coach, advisor, cheerleader, pep-talker, and brilliant editor all at once! I feel so lucky to have chanced upon her and Our Bodies is much better for it.”
