LAURA HANKIN
Some favorite (shorter) writing clips:
-
Elle: I Walked Down The Aisle With A Man Who Panned My Book On Goodreads

Medium: On Grief and Cicadas

McSweeney's: My Husband, Senator Ted Cruz, Is Just A Regular Guy (named an end of the year favorite by McSweeney's editor Christopher Monks!)
​
I also write songs, like this one about my indoor book tour for Penguin Random House! My videos have been featured on Funny or Die, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, and more.

As a performer, I've been in movies (While We're Young), acted in plays and musicals regionally and off-Broadway, sung with Karen O, and played a five-year-old multiple times. I've also read my own audiobooks. (My great recording weakness? My stomach rumbles so loudly that the microphone picks it up.) Full performance resume available upon request.
