Your Ghoul Guides

Laura (“Lori”) Beerman

  • 25+ years of writing and editing experience spanning advertising, technical writing, journalism — and yes, horror.
  • Experienced coach, teacher, and facilitator who lives to lift people up. Curated courses include: Horrigin Stories: The Horror Genre as Memoir; Four Thousand Weeks: How to Write What Matters Most; and Write, Earn, Live: Making Content Your Career.
  • Horror (and other) street creds: Former blogger for The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. Rondo Award nominee.

  • National byline with HealthLeadersMedia; co-author of paper in the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science

Lori was a stupendous, engaging instructor who obviously was pulling from a wealth of knowledge about living through writing on your passions. The books and topics she referenced in our class are absolutely what I’ll be working on for the remainder of the year.

Delaney Rebernik

  • Brooklyn-based journalist, essayist, editor, communications advisor, and owner of a storytelling strategy shop for purpose-driven organizations and individuals.
  • I’ve spent the past 10+ years shaping award-winning editorial and communications strategies for leading publishers and brands, including Fortune and McKinsey & Company. Along the way, I’ve helped aspiring and unwitting writers alike find their passion on the page and professional ones land placements in major outlets, including Vice, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and The Huffington Post. 
  • Horror (and other) street creds: Founder of Spine Tingler, a twice-monthly newsletter of storytelling inspo from horror and musical theater, sans all the belting and bloodshed.

Delaney has extensive industry knowledge and is exceptionally bright, personable, and client-oriented. She is relentless in her quest to add value to everything she touches. Not only would I recommend her, I would build a company around her.
