lauretta hannon

Lauretta Hannon is a bestselling author, speaker, teacher, and humorist. She has been a commentator on National Public Radio's All Things Considered (where her stories have reached 25 million listeners); a syndicated advice columnist; and Huffington Post contributor. Lauretta has been featured on CNN, C-SPAN, WSB Radio, and gobs more. Southern Living named her “the funniest woman in Georgia.”  In 2018, she was selected to be a faculty member at the prestigious Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop held at the University of Dayton.

Lauretta’s mission is two-fold: to help everyone have lots and lots more JOY and to teach writers how to realize their wildest literary dreams (she knows a thing or two about that: her memoir became a bestseller three weeks after its release and was named One of the Top Twenty-Five Books All Georgians Should Read). 

Above all, she is glad you are here.
