A Professional Writing History

Laura Roberts graduated from Concordia University in 2007 with a joint-honors degree in Creative Writing & English Literature, and immediately dove into an exciting career in freelance journalism. Writing a column in the alternative news-weekly, Hour, and reviews for Canada’s magazine of book news and reviews, Quill & Quire, Roberts began her professional writing life in Montreal covering topics of love, relationships and the literary arts.

Currently, Laura writes food and travel articles for websites such as The Frisky, Not For Tourists, Gifted Travel and her own Shoestring Austin site, while working on her first novel, Naked Montreal—a hearty blend of fact, fiction, food and physical pleasures. She also edits the rebel literary journal Black Heart Magazine, publishing a variety of outlaws, blackguards, liars and scoundrels of the writing world on a weekly basis.
