Lara Crigger. That’s me. Professional writer, at your service.

Writing. That’s what I provide. No marketing B.S. No fancy techno-babble. Just solid, clear, effective writing.

Professionalism. That’s where I excel. I deliver projects within wordcount, in budget and on time–every time.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked with dozens of businesses, from local start-ups to established Fortune 500 companies. I offer a broad range of writing and editing services, including ads, brochures, sales letters, web copy… and anything in between. (For more info, check out my Services page.)

I’ve also written hundreds of magazine, newspaper and online articles on a variety of topics: finance, technology, interior design, health, sex, fitness, music, bird-watching, banana blimps, robot ethics, rocket science… You name it, I’ve probably written about it somewhere.

But I’m probably best known for my work about the video game industry. In the past several years, my features, editorials and interviews have appeared in publications like 1Up.com, Games for Windows, Total PC Gaming, The Escapist, Computer Games, MMO Games and Gamers With Jobs.

I live in the forbidding tundras just outside Rochester, NY with my husband and my dog, Boötes. When not hunched over a keyboard, I’m usually out running, dancing or drinking CC’s coffee by the gallon.
