Laurie Miller Hornik is an artist, writer, and educator. She earned her BA from Harvard University in Medieval History and Literature in the hopes that she would receive a unicorn along with her diploma, but sadly, she did not.
She is the author of two humorous children’s novels, The Secrets of Ms. Snickle’s Class (Clarion, 2001) and Zoo School (Clarion, 2004) as well as short humor pieces in Slackjaw, The Belladonna Comedy, Frazzled, and Jane Austen’s Wastebasket. Laurie also publishes humor on Substack every other week on Sometimes Silly, Sometimes Ridiculous.
Laurie creates mixed media collages, which she shows locally and through her Etsy shop, CollageFantastic.
When she is not engaged in her many hobbies, Laurie teaches middle school English full time at a progressive independent school in NYC and resides in Yonkers, NY with her husband, Retired Rob, and her two cats, Dusty and Dash.
