ⓘ About Laurie Notaro
Notaro published “We Thought You Would be Prettier,” her first work in 1995, and her first fiction novel “There’s A Slight Chance I Might Be Going to Hell” in 2007. As a columnist, she has written for the likes of BUST, The New York Times, Village Voice Media, Glamour, USA Today, BARK Magazine, and Oprah. Unlike most of her contemporaries, Laurie Notaro does not remember how she got started writing. But even while she was in journalism school, she always felt that it was not for her, even if she liked the atmosphere of a newspaper room. Moreover, as a childless freelance writer in her thirties who works from home, it is almost impossible to make new friends.
