"Laura Blum, my coeditor and poetic muse, you are a living thesaurus. There is no one with whom I love to play with words and refine ideas more than with you."  

"I have just finished writing my first book with Laura Blum and I can say unequivocally Laura is a living angel and a literary magician. She has a passion for disruptive storytelling and finding subtle hidden gems that most people would skip over. 

She is also a wonderful human being, who made the process of writing a book joyful, and many times helped me out of my fear state and back into the play state. 

One of Laura's many skills is her ability to adapt her role to suit the person or chapter; from writer to coach, mentor, researcher, editor or adviser. While we were on the other side of the world throughout the journey, our zoom chats felt like we were in the same room, and while we weren't always on the same page (she constantly challenged me way out of my comfort zone) we were always on the same side. She has your back, is incredibly humble, and genuinely cares about her clients and their literary dreams.

I am eternally grateful to Esther Perel for introducing us, and as I wrote in the acknowlegements to my book 

Where the Light Gets In, you will catch on every page the glints of this indefatigable storysmith, who made the creative process not only possible but also a hell of a lot of fun. 

Bravo, Laura. I will miss working with you."

"I had the pleasure of working closely with Laura Blum as my ghostwriter for America’s

Weatherman, a complex 350-400 page book that covers business, science, technology, and

family.

Laura was delightful and effective in understanding the messages and in articulating my thoughts

in the best way. She was a pleasure to work with across the board, from doing the research to

articulating the key themes and tying them all together.

I would strongly recommend her."

"It is my great pleasure to strongly recommend Laura Blum as a collaborative book writer. I could

not have written my professional memoir, House Calls: Adventures of a Veterinary Acupuncturist, without her.

Potential book authors are a busy lot. We are deeply engaged in our professional activities with

little free time on the side. Throughout my collaboration with Laura, she remained highly

cognizant of my scheduling limitations and—week by week—offered uniquely tailored

timetables that allowed me to carry on with my regular tasks in a well-coordinated and efficient

way. I always felt so grateful for her sensitivity in this matter.

Writing a book also has its challenging moments. Luckily, I could always count on Laura to

streamline even my most circuitous cerebral meanderings. It was quite something how she’d

wrangle up and reprocess my disparate ideas into readable prose. 'Yes, indeed, Laura, that was

exactly the point I was trying to make!' I was constantly impressed by her swift grasp of

complex issues—especially in matters of animal cognition, behavior and biology—and her

passion for researching veterinary literature for enriching nuance. She is as gifted in

developmental imagining as she is in detailed execution.

Lastly, I’d like to happily point out that we had many laugh-out-loud moments together! Laura is

imbued with a unique ability to assist in writing stories that possess great humanity with often a

charming and unique humorous twist. Just the touch I hoped to add to my book.

It would be my privilege to further discuss why I believe Laura is so deserving of your

collaborative book writing project and how she'll dedicate herself to its success."

Subject: Strong Recommendation for Exceptional Ghost Writer

"I am delighted to provide an enthusiastic recommendation for Laura Blum, who has been an

invaluable partner in helping to bring my creative vision to life through the power of words.

Laura possesses a unique talent for understanding and translating ideas into compelling

narratives, making the writing process not only seamless but also enjoyable.

From the outset, Laura showed a deep commitment to capturing the essence of my project, Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement.

She also has a special ability to weave wonderfully rich stories out of lengthy interviews, capturing

what really matters to the topic at hand. Laura’s willingness to conduct thorough research when

necessary was also extremely helpful.

Communication with Laura was always prompt, professional, and collaborative. She consistently

sought my feedback and worked with my own contributions to create a cohesive result. The

outcome exceeded my expectations, and I credit much of my success in completing my first

nonfiction book project to Laura’s beautiful writing and wise advice.

I would not hesitate to engage Laura for future projects, and I wholeheartedly recommend her

to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable ghostwriter. Her passion for storytelling, combined with

her high degree of professionalism, makes Laura a true standout in her field."

"Laura is one of those rare multi-talents who brings innovative ideas, analytical prowess, hyper-articulateness and cheerful workaholism to any endeavor she tackles. She joined me in launching a global visual media venture at Sony BMG Music Entertainment, where her in-depth knowledge of filmed entertainment and cross-cultural expertise led to impressive results."
