Laura LeBleu

Laura LeBleu really wanted to be an ice skater, but growing up in El Paso, Texas, made that impossible so she became a writer instead. Along the way she has been many other things—Emmy award-winning TV producer, lead singer in an Italian band, voice of a virtual character, stilt-walking circus ringmaster, minor gay icon, NYC cabaret performer. But writing was always her jam. She got the idea for Geezer magazine in the shower. She has had many good ideas in the shower, but this is the one that stuck. Laura also wrote the dot-matrix-printed letter you can find on the Submission page. She was in college when she wrote it and shares it here to remind people of what it feels like to create with the irrepressible enthusiasm of youth.
