Laura Fincannon - Marketing Muse & Pirate Wench

An award winning speaker, national presentation veteran and ghost writer, I also have over fifteen years of experience in marketing and sales management in service-related industries, including workforce development, banking, arts & cultural tourism as well as broadcast advertising.

The common thread for all of my experience has been communications; most often my work entails writing for others, including but not limited to: advertising copy (both print and broadcast,) sales brochures, speeches, annual reports, grant applications, press releases, position papers and more.

Lately, I've made a concerted effort to write more on topics that interest me with my own byline and I'm even trying my hand at some fiction. Yes, I have a nom de plume. No, I won't tell you what it is just yet.

When I'm not writing for others or myself, I can often be found wenching with the New Orleans Krewe of Pirate Wenches as Zelda Shagnasty. You can scroll down the page to learn a little more about that wench. Further down the page you'll also discover how I came to be called the Hurricane Magnet and you'll find links to my other lenses and published articles.

This page - like my life - is a work in progress, so please do check back from time to time and be sure to leave a note in my guest book.
