About Laurenne Sala

Available for remote work: a freelance Creative Director/Copywriter, I love to swoop in, help you nail a pitch or project, and disappear again into the freelance ether only to appear again when someone in your office says,\"Let\'s call that one lady with all the good ideas.\" You can also find me at Don\'t Send Flowers, the grief support company I founded to help those suffering suicide loss. We offer Zoom groups, one-on-one, and in-person retreats.I\'m also a published author and ghostwriter. You Made Me a Mother, my debut picture book, came out in 2016 after an ad I wrote went viral and made all the moms cry. My 7th picture books hits shelves 2027. I\'m also the mom of 3 girls. I am still in shock about the surprise twins that arrived 4 years ago.
