Laurel Mills

I am the former managing editor of Lipstick magazine, a Birmingham-area start-up. I also served as the online Lifestyles and Travel editor for ReZoom.com out of Nashville, Tennessee.

My work has also appeared in mental_floss, Flower, Southern Lady, Birmingham Weekly and The Birmingham News. I received Green Eyeshade Awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for serious commentary and humorous commentary in non-daily print publications for 2008.

In addition to teaching creating writing in Samford University's continuing educaiton program, I help corporate clients with traditional marketing as well as new media. Occasionally, I put together a web site or two.

I also like linens, finger food and anything written by Augusten Burroughs. I dislike parades, street performers and particularly mimes.
