Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Laura Lieff grew up in the music business. Her family founded and operated a chain of record stores in Florida for 50 years and music has always played an important role in her life. Laura moved to Colorado in 2002 to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she earned her BA in English.
At the age of 23, Laura became a professional writer when she moved to Denver and began working as a reporter for the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle. Over the years she was promoted to Content Editor and then to Executive Editor. In 2013, she resigned from the Chronicle and moved to the Vail Valley where she runs her own writing, editing, and PR business called Lieff Ink.
In addition to working diligently for her Lieff Ink clients, Laura writes for five Vail Valley magazines, is a writing tutor at Colorado Mountain College, and hosts a weekly radio show called Bite the Bullet on 107.9 Radio Free Minturn. She published her first book, Wookie Is Not His Real Name, in February 2021.
When she is not writing, Laura is enjoying the Colorado outdoors with her husband Brian, their son Fleet, and their pup Zephyr.
