Laura Salamy of The Polished Paragraph

She’s currently an assistant editor for Chicago’s literary journal, Fifth Wednesday.  Before the print edition of get born magazine became a casuality of the economy, Laura was a contributing editor.  Fortunately, get born lives on as a blog to which Laura contributes on the 4th of every month.  Click here for first post, November, 2011.

Laura is the newsletter editor for the Women’s Success Network, a business networking organization serving Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

For several years, she worked in the environmental and worker safety fields.  As such, Laura was required to write many detailed plans, manuals, and reports for federal, state, and local governmental agencies.  This taught her to be very anal about her words and other details.

She also gained experience completing grant applications for a non-profit entity.

In her spare time, Laura creates colorful and less-than-tradtional hooked rugs.  Many are “up-cycled” from old clothes, funky fabrics, and notions.  She lives with her husband, a cranky teenager, and two silly dogs.
