VIDEO: VAMP – Coyote Thursday

15 Mar

I’m currently writing my second memoir, NOUGHTS & CROSSES (working title), about life with and without my father.

In February 2023, an excerpt was selected by So Say We All which I performed at their VAMP night. Here I am, reading ‘Coyote Thursday’ (formerly known as ‘Death Is All Around Us’):

“Lauren holds herself and her work to high standards — she’s a great member of any creative team.”

Lauren is not only talented but very client-focused. She's organized, patient, and an excellent communicator. I love her modern aesthetic, and her knowledge of Wordpress. Lauren holds herself and her work to high standards - she's a great member of any creative team.

With tenderness and honesty Lauren critiqued my work, offered insight, and directed me toward more self exploration and honesty.

Lauren Cross has been in my writer’s group for many years. Her insights, suggestions and edits of my work have been invaluable to me as a writer. When I also asked her to beta-read my memoir I was not disappointed. With tenderness and honesty Lauren critiqued my work, offered insight, and directed me toward more self exploration and honesty. Most of all, she encouraged me, as an author, to continue to write. I am honored to call myself Lauren’s “Writeous Sister”, and most of all, her friend.

“Lauren is truly a renaissance woman.”

Lauren is truly a renaissance woman. Her diverse skills touch the artistic in her graphic designs and the linguistic in her extraordinary writing ability. She can articulate what others feel and describe the process of infertility and pregnancy loss so poetically that it touches the reader’s heart. I look forward to any blog, book, journal or article or design that Lauren creates.

“Lauren is unbelievably talented and will exceed your expectations!”

Lauren is unbelievably talented and will exceed your expectations! She almost intuitively knew what we were looking for in a business logo without us being able to verbalize it. The logo she came up with is stunning, her turnaround time was quick, and her communication excellent. Our company will use this beautiful logo for years to come and we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Lauren!

“A person of many talents who is smart, funny, and encouraging!”

Over the course of several years working together, Lauren helped us re-design and manage our website, designed logos, posters, and other graphics. She helped draft and edit various grant proposals, info sheets and anything else we were working on, and was always a great ear for batting around ideas, helping make and keep timelines, listening to jokes—in short, just what any small non-profit desperately needs: a person of many talents who is smart and funny and encouraging!

“She has a high level of creativity with a mathematical, orderly mind.”

Lauren combines the two best qualities in a graphic designer: a high level of creativity with a mathematical, orderly mind for attending to details and getting the tech stuff right. She was patient and receptive enough to deal with my many requests for changes on AmritAunty.com. And I was happy to feature her unique graphic art on Subscription Site Central—an industry blog read by executives from sites like The Financial Times, The Boston Globe, and Scholastic. I plan to use Lauren’s services for a long time to come and recommend her work with no hesitation whatsoever.

“Hiring her was the best decision I made on my most recent project, and I will absolutely work with her again.”

Lauren is my go-to person for graphic design. Not only is she creative and professional, but she also is very open to feedback and suggestions. She takes my ideas and makes them work together, while still maintaining a stylish and cohesive design. Her ideas are always spot-on with what I have in mind, and her attention to detail is very much appreciated! She's especially proficient with colors and fonts, which are so often not given the focus they deserve. Hiring her was the best decision I made on my most recent project, and I will absolutely work with her again. Thanks again, Lauren.
