Bio
Kathleen Laya
Laurie is a uniquely qualified editorial resource. She not only has exceptional skills as an editor, but she is also a gifted writer and journalist. Analytical, precise, and organized, Laurie helped develop the prototypes, guidelines, specs, and skills matrices for key segments of an expansive, ground-breaking literature series that we developed at Glencoe. Her contributions to the market success of the project were immense. In addition, her work ethic, creativity, and visual/verbal design sense made her one of the best senior editors I've ever had the pleasure to work with or manage. Laurie's writing and editing skills, entrepreneurial spirit, and expertise across multimedia make her an outstanding resource for developing a wide-spectrum of innovative product.

Over the years I've worked with Laurie on several textbook publishing projects at Ligature. Based upon her leadership, knowledge, teamwork, hard work and great personality I highly recommend her.
