‘LY’ is for
Laura Yépez
-
Laura Yépez is a writer, journalist, screenwriter, poet, editor, and translator from the Caribbean.
Basically… she loves creating stories. And she always has. What started as stories she wrote as a child for her friends to read evolved into blogs and eventually into pursuing a career in Communications {with a mention in Audiovisual Production}, which mostly centered around Journalism, Film, and Television & Radio Production.
Through assignments in the field and eventually through internships and working in the media {for magazines, newspapers, and radio}, she was able to bridge the gap between words from the heart and pieces that inform, educate, and inspire, leading to articles that achieved the purpose of the brand or the media platform, and connected with their readers.
The heart behind everything she writes -the human connection birthed through storytelling and, mostly, the way hearts are bound together through the vulnerability of words- is the force behind everything she does, which is why there is a space dedicated precisely to that: things of the heart, via verse or prose, to step back from information for a little bit and to connect with the things that matter the most.
Currently, she is writing her first novel {well, she is writing a few, but is trying to finish the first} and a book of poems, as well as preparing a podcast with peers from college who have gone into different fields in communications.
In Signed with an L there is a little bit for everyone who is passionate about different realms of lifestyle, and there is a lot for those who feel the need to go into the depths and not remain surface-level when it comes to the design of their lives and the content they consume.
