Web Work Journalism Books About Me ContactHome

Laurie Tarkan is the last published writer on earth to get a website. She has even had several blogs, she’s on Facebook, she tweets, and met her husband online more than a decade ago, but she has resisted owning a piece of internet real estate…until now.
 
Self promotion does not come naturally to her, but here she goes. Laurie Tarkan, that’s me, is a  long-time health writer who contributes regularly to the New York Times as well as many national magazines including Prevention, Health, ViV magazine and Parenting.  I (change of voice) am a contributing editor at Fit Pregnancy magazine, and I have authored three health books and a pregnancy journal. I also write an allergy blog, have helped doctors with the content of their websites, and have volunteered to write and blog for various non profit organizations.
 
My work is consistently praised for my thorough and balanced reporting and clear writing. I prefer articles that help the underdog, in this case, the health consumer or patient.
 
My most recent book, Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility, was praised by Dr. Mehmet Oz for being “an insightful, encouraging, and provocative toolbox for couples seeking fertility.” The books have also gotten great praise by discriminating readers on Amazon.
