Leigh-Ann Ouellet
You have a story that matters. But turning pain into purpose? That takes courage - and a guide who’s walked the path. At LAO Publishing, we believe stories can heal, connect, and transform. Our founder, Leigh-Ann Ouellet, knows this firsthand. After experiencing profound personal loss, she wrote Mourning Dove, a memoir of trauma and resilience that became the heartbeat of a bigger mission: to help others find strength in vulnerability and courage in their truth. LAO Publishing was born from that fire. We help storytellers like you shape your lived experience into something powerful—something that can change lives, starting with your own. If you’re ready to share your story, we’re ready to walk beside you.
