Laura Stanfill

Laura is the author of two historical-fantastical novels: The Neighborhood Dames, forthcoming from Ooligan Press on Nov. 10, 2026, and Singing Lessons for the Stylish Canary (Lanternfish, 2022). Her nonfiction book Imagine a Door (Forest Avenue, 2025) helps writers with publishing and has been called “chonky” by at least one bookseller.

When she’s not writing or walking her dog, you can find Laura reading, roller skating, photographing roller derby, doodling, daydreaming, cooking vegan meals, or growing food for the neighborhood.
