Like many writers I have always been a writer, and I have always enjoyed the art and craft of storytelling. One of the things I have come to understand is writing affects our lives as much as our lives shape what we write.
And if we are lucky we never stop learning about ourselves or life - or growing as writers.
When I work with writers I can relate to the world they face each time they look at a blank page. It is a world we are completely in charge of creating and one that can take on a life of its own.
My experience:
B.A. in English from Union College in Schenectady, NY.
Film animation program at Columbia University in New York City.
M.F.A. in film and video production from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in New York City.
Ten-plus years coaching seasoned and novice writers.
Ten-plus years in film, video and theater production & management in New York City and Connecticut.
Three feature-length screenplays as well as several short stories, essays and articles.
Web content creation & management and proficiency in CSS, HTML, Dreamweaver and Fireworks.
As a journalist.
As a publicist.
Most recently, I formed Aspetuck Media - Laura Modlin Script Advisory and Aspetuck Writers are now a part of Aspetuck Media.
One of the most important lessons I have learned - and one I hope you will take with you - is to follow your intuition and impulses...You will be led in the most amazing directions and to the best experiences.
