Having been involved in the development and launch of multiple magazines, Web sites, and other related start-ups, and having published numerous editions of regional and international, revenue-generating products, Ms. White brings her vast knowledge to each project she undertakes. Her efforts have been recognized by the Florida Magazine Association, including Best New Magazine awarded to Jacksonville Woman in 1997. From Proofreader to Editor-in-Chief and everything in-between, Ms. White understands the complexities of the business of publishing, and what it takes to publish profitable, sustainable, high-quality products. Here's what some of her colleagues have to say:  ''While I worked closely with Laurie to provide a design for the launch of STQE magazine, she developed an editorial pacing of departments and features that helped the overall magazine to be easily digested. Rough editorial was transformed into engaging and easy-to-follow articles. This editorial direction laid the groundwork for a magazine design that was taken seriously by the reader, as well as the advertising community.''--Cynthia M. DavisEditorial/Creative Director, EH Publishing''For me, accuracy is the most important service an editor can offer. In addition to grammar skills, Laurie absorbs the copy and will question areas where she believes fact checking is in order. This gives me extreme peace of mind that our written products, whether editorial or promotional, are accurate.'' --Jan KorbPresident/Creative Director, BroadBased Communications, Inc. ''I recently wrote my first non-fiction novel titled “The Journey of the Lost Boys.” This was a story particularly close to my heart and I had a specific way in which I wanted it to be told. Understandably, I was a bit apprehensive about undertaking such a huge project, as I had no prior experience. I had heard numerous horror stories from other authors about editors who had so drastically changed their work that it no longer appeared to be their own. I am happy to say that this was not the case with Laurie, who, while thoroughly editing my book for ease of reading and grammatical errors, managed to leave my voice and thoughts completely intact. I am so thankful for the vast experience and expertise she brought with her to this project, which resulted in a fabulous book of which I am extremely pleased and proud. I feel that her recommendations and suggestions helped to significantly improve the end results of my book. I recommend her to all my friends and colleagues and would never dream of using anyone else for future projects. In fact, after utilizing her services for my book, I also hired her to edit my non-profit website www.allianceforthelostboys.com. Go to Laurie for all your editing needs!''--Joan HechtAuthor/Founder, Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan''Four years' work with Laurie White on STQE magazine have only strengthened my initial impression: she has a firm command of the editorial and managerial skills needed to pull together complex publishing projects. A smooth production cycle and an ever-improving final product were the fruit of Laurie's vigilant oversight of budget, schedule, and content quality.'' --Kyle Hoepner Creative Director, Cambridge Prepress Services Creative Group
