Laurie Cooper
Founder & President and Marketing Specialist in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Laurie Cooper launched her own online business, “Pub-Craft: Virtual Assistance & Promotion Management for Romance Authors” in October 2013. Since then, Laurie and her team have helped over 95 clients to New York Times and USA Today bestseller status.
Laurie began working in the industry under the guidance of New York Times Bestselling Author, Opal Carew, and quickly transitioned from an independent public-relations consultant to a full-time business owner, creative project manager, and international speaker. Now, Laurie and her team of Romance Specialists deliver virtual assistance, promotion management and more, with the goal of “Giving you more time to write!”.
While Laurie works with authors from around the world, she calls Ottawa, Ontario her home. She loves to travel whenever she can escape her cluttered desk – even if it’s just a trip to the cottage. In between work and travel, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, scrapbooking, reading, downing pots of coffee, and plotting to rule the world, or dancing under the moon (whichever is more convenient at the time).
Laurie Cooper graduated from Carleton University in 2012 with combined High Honours in Communication studies and Global Politics, Concentration in Image, Politics and Persuasion, and a Minor in Law.
