Short Bio:
Children’s author and publishing strategist, Laurie Wright is a silly but smart, busy mom of three who laughs at her own jokes just a bit too much. The minivan is her sanctuary, and the only place she can sing out loud without being shushed. She’s known for her short term memory and extreme love of chips and dip. Usually on her best behavior, watch out when her filter wears off! Never without her laptop and a notebook. Trust her with your kids and your books, but not your coffee!
Long Bio:
Laurie Wright is a woman on a mission to improve the mental health and emotional welfare of children around the world, one book at a time. As an author and consultant, she has the innate ability to give children and adults alike a confidence boost.
During her tenure as a kindergarten teacher, Wright noticed students often exhibited learned helplessness. Parents struggled with finding the words to express emotional support or convince their children that they were capable. This time in the classroom served as the foundation in creating her first book, “I Can Handle It” in 2016. Driven by the desire to help childhood anxiety, Wright has added eight books under the Mindful Mantras series as well as accessories to help children build emotional intelligence.
In an industry where the average self-published book sells a few hundred copies annually, Wright sells several hundred daily and generates numerous positive reviews from parents, teachers and counsellors. Overall, she has independently sold over 100,000 books and earned Amazon bestseller status.
Wright is currently teaching Digital Marketing in college, and in her spare time she enjoys spending time with her children, and volunteering.
