Based on the sources I found, Laura Stubbs also writes as Lolo Stubbs. She is a Manchester-based author, speaker, and editor whose debut novel, Dressed Up As Love, drew attention for its emotional story of romance, fear, and control. Later editions of the book were released in support of Women's Aid, reflecting the social issues connected to her work.
Her public profiles describe her as a mum of four and a Women’s Aid ambassador, and BROOD Magazine lists her as an executive editor and co-founder. Across those roles, she appears to combine writing with advocacy, speaking, and publishing work focused on real-life family experiences and women’s wellbeing.
What stands out most is the way her career seems rooted in persistence. A local feature about her early novel described her pushing forward with publication despite serious health challenges, and that same determined, encouraging tone carries through her author and magazine presence.
