“It’s not about the problems, it’s all about the solutions.” – Laurie Lamson

Created by

Creative Freedom was created by Laurie Lamson, a story alchemist who turns narratives – in writing, healing, or life itself – into transformative experiences.

In her own words:

I was a sensitive child and knew I wanted to be a writer since I learned how to read.

My fifth grade teacher predicted I’d be writing novels by the time I was eighteen.

Well, that didn’t happen.

Insecurity and self-doubt held me back for years. I went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts to study film production. For me, it was heaven. But after graduation it took me another ten years to get serious about writing. I’m what you might call a “late bloomer.”

The Inspiration for Creative Freedom

I know what it feels like to be a creative person who has trouble getting off the couch, with projects eating away at you from the inside – it’s like a soul sickness.

So I have great compassion for anyone in the same painful predicament.

Dedicated to Creative Work and Helping Others

Fostering creativity and original storytelling isn’t just a job for Laurie, it’s a way of life. She hone her skills by writing original screenplays with food for thought rather than “empty calories” and by serving as a friend and mentor to fellow writers and their projects.

Another way she support writers is through the Now Write! series of creative writing anthologies (started by my aunt, Sherry Ellis.)
