MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Laura!

I’m a bestselling children’s book author, publishing coach, and the founder of Little Ivory Haus, where I help aspiring authors turn their picture book dreams into reality!

I live in country Victoria with my husband and two kids.

My journey started in 2021 with my first book, Lockdown Baby and since then, I’ve been on a mission to help bridge the gap for creatives who want to publish a book but don't know how.

With a growing community of 2000+ passionate creatives and HUNDREDS of books in progress each year, Little Ivory Haus is all about making self-publishing fun, accessible and empowering.

I believe that everyone has a story worth sharing and I love proving that publishing a book isn’t just possible... it’s life-changing!

When I'm not doing "author things", I love to go camping with the fam (preferably somewhere warmer than Ballarat!), hang out at home or make stuff (I'm a fiend for any kind of crafty or creative hobby!).
