More About Laurie

We’re all different, right? Me too.

Laurie Phillips

I am…


A freelance commercial copywriter

I write about information technology, management strategy, start-ups and consulting. During my 20+ year career I have left my fingerprints on the world’s largest professional services firms, advertising agencies, Fortune 500 companies and financial services corporations in high-stakes, high-value projects.

An author

My 30+ articles have been published in national magazines and journals such as The National Law Journal, ComputerWorld, Network and Legal Economics. I don’t know how many articles I’ve had published online, but it’s a lot.  I ghostwrite non-fiction and memoir too. I’ve also written less auspicious works including one and a half non-fiction books, a novel, many short stories and a few poems at odd moments.

A social commentator


I'm not dead yet.


The blog, The Dead Company Club, is a social commentary about how cruddy it is when your company fails. When I’m not editing and contributing to it, I tweet on the same topic (@deadcompanyclub on Twitter).

A teacher

I teach creativity-awakening classes based on the classic book, “The Artist’s Way”. I’m also teaching advanced classes based on the same approach.

An adventurer

Glen Helen, CA

My favorite place is “outdoors.” I’m a motorcycle journalist, commando skier, climber, peak-bagging mountain climber and photographer. I was a motocross crash test dummy – no head injuries – and  I tweet about riding (upright) on my personal Twitter account, @LJP26.
