Laura Wright, also known in print as L. Chambers-Wright, has been telling stories most of her life. Her first professional publications appeared while she was still in high school — and she’s kept writing ever since.
Over the years, she’s worked as a staff writer, freelance contributor, and guest columnist for a range of publications and websites across the globe. But her writing began long before any of that — just two weeks after the death of her father, at age 13. Since then, it’s taken many forms: poetry, lyrics, short stories, novels, and non-fiction works.
Wright self-published several books before landing her first traditional publishing deal. Her debut novel, While I’m Dying, released as an ebook, gained over 1 million pages read in under two years. She followed it with Timeslips & Terrors, a horror and suspense anthology spanning fifteen years of work. Then came Virginia Creeper, Black Diamond (YA), Moonshine, and Bizarre Tri-Cities — among many other fiction and non-fiction titles.
In recent years, she’s expanded her creative reach into music, using AI to bring her lyrics to life in sound. She’s a strong advocate for authors embracing new tools and platforms — with caution, creativity, and control.
Wright’s creative life runs parallel to her role as a caregiver — supporting a husband with congestive heart failure and a partially-independent autistic son. That dual path brings urgency, clarity, and resilience to her work. It’s not always easy, but it’s always real — and that reality fuels every story she tells.
She lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with her family and a rotating cast of beloved pets.
