Laura Hamlet writes suspenseful, unconventional comedy. She’s a US Navy veteran and has a BFA from NYU hanging up in her bathroom. She’s an alum of the Writers Guild Foundation’s Veterans Writing Project and an active member of the United States Veterans’ Artists Alliance, Veterans in Media & Entertainment, and Film Independent. 

Originally from Colorado, Laura escaped to New York City at seventeen and grew up somewhere between bad decisions and, well, worse decisions. However, all that changed when she enlisted in the Navy, learned the value of integrity, and developed a life-saving sense of humor. How else might one survive deployment chow?!

While screenwriting will always be Laura’s first love, she also writes fiction, ghostwrites nonfiction, and is the author of the children’s book series Goth Baby. She has two daughters and a rescue mutt, occasionally runs ultramarathons, and is happily approaching a decade sober and drug-free.
