Welcome to Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen's website.
I'm a freelance writer for publications including Reader's Digest, MSN Health, Woman's Day, Health, Spirituality & Health, alive, and sometimes More. I also write research shorts, fillers, and "things you never knew about" -- ranging from how food affects your appearance to why men fall asleep after sex.
Read my online articles or see a list of my print articles to get a sense of my specialty, voice, and style.
“What I did have, which others perhaps didn't, was a capacity for sticking at it, which really is the point, not the talent at all," said writer Doris Lessing. "You have to stick at it."
My Three "Quips & Tips" Blogs
I pair my favorite quips with helpful tips on my three blogs, which I update twice weekly. The first is Quips & Tips for Healthy Women, which connects inspirational quotations with practical life tips - and always profiles a related book.
On this blog, my most popular articles are:
I'm always looking for new books, ideas, people to interview, and news tips - so please feel free to email me! And I'm always open to new writing gigs, too...
My second blog also connects quips from published authors to practical writing tips - and profiles a book every time. Quips & Tips for Freelance Writers offers both practical advice and encouragement for freelance writers, novelists, and essayists.
The most popular articles on this blog are:
My third blog follows the same format...quips and tips, with a book profiled in every article. Quips & Tips for Couples Coping With Infertility offers inspirational and empowering advice for people, with medical experts and sound health tips.
The most popular articles on this blog are:
Finally, I'm working on a book about "women who weren't well-behaved." See Jane Soar!
That's me in a nutshell. Thanks for your time, and drop me a line sometime....
