Other one-act plays have been published in Going It Alone, edited by Kit Brennan (The Golden Horn), and Escape Acts: Seven Canadian One-Acts, edited by Colleen Curran (The Sand). Monologues from Laurie's plays can be found in She Speaks, edited by Judith Thompson, and both The Perfect Piece and Another Perfect Piece, edited by Tony Hamill.

Laurie has worked as development director for the Tarragon Theatre, a position she held from 2004 to 2007, and as a professional belly dancer in various cities in Canada and Japan. Her work on The Malaysia Hotel was inspired by a trip to Thailand in 1982. In 2000, she revisited both Thailand and Cambodia. Laurie has spent the past ten years living in Toronto and Ottawa pursuing her career as a fundraiser, arts administrator and freelance writer.
