Who am I?

For those who must know

I'm Laura Haynes, a copy editor at the Houston Chronicle. I've worked at papers in Lubbock, Beaumont and Orange in Texas; in Albany, N.Y.; and in Orlando, Fla. I also worked at The (late) Houston Post, from which I and a few hundred others were liberated on April 18, 1995 when Billy Dean Singleton slammed the doors. (But we are not bitter.)

I graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton in 1981 where I studied music before packing it in to become a journalist.

After stints as police reporter, entertainment editor and a TV/radio editor, I turned to copy editing full time in 1988. On the side, I've done radio gigs, edited the odd newsletter and briefly served as a college newspaper adviser.

Now I edit and lay out news and business copy. I sometimes teach English as a Second Language. And I'm a card-carrying member of ACES.
