Welcome to author Laura Knight's website! Throughout these pages you will find snippets of my work from short stories and novels-in-progress, as well as some poetry and writing exercises.
From time to time I will tackle big projects like National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo.org) in November and enter quarterly or annual contests sponsored by various magazines and publishers. Check out the Current News or Latest Additions sections below to discover my most recent endeavors.
I also have a blog at Knight's Yarn where I chat about whatever's on my mind. If there are no current updates here, it's because I've been spending all my time there.
Enjoy! And please let me know what you think.
Current news:
Well, NaNo has come and gone with no new novel from me. I did, however, finish a short short story I had started last year. You will find a link to it below in the Latest Additions section, as well as in the Writing Prompts section. I had attempted to write a 500-word story for a contest last year for children's fiction, but alas, I couldn't shrink my story to less than 800 words. So I've placed it here for you to enjoy, in full. Let me know what you think.
