Laurie Janey

Laurie is an author of speculative fiction. She obtained an MA in creative writing from the University of Cape Town before going on to work as an editor of political non-fiction in London.

Since leaving publishing, she has trained as a freelance proofreader and thrown herself into writing flawed characters in tricky situations, along with enthusiastic descriptions of trees.

When she’s not writing, proofreading or battling impostor syndrome, she can be found drawing pictures, reading a wide variety of books, poi dancing (badly) or photographing the pigeons on her balcony.
