“That's all we have, finally, the words, and they had better be the right ones…”

– Raymond Carver



At Carnali Communications, we believe in the power of storytelling and its ability to build connections, promote inclusion and create change. Founded by Lauren Carnali, a publishing industry insider, Carnali Communications is a creative communications company for the shifting landscape of our times.

Everyone has a story.

For over a decade, Lauren has worked for major publishers and a prominent literary agency in New York City, reviewing and negotiating publishing agreements. A strong advocate for authors throughout the publishing process, she expanded her reach by becoming manager of a speakers bureau where she booked authors for paid speaking engagements around the world.
Currently based in Saint Petersburg, FL, Lauren has worked with hospitality groups, restauranteurs and nonprofits to oversee and improve marketing strategy, event management and community engagement. Lauren’s empathy, intuition and passion are evident in all that she does and she is excited to learn what positive change Carnali Communications can bring to your organization.

“Lauren is one of my favorite consultants on challenging community leadership and development projects. An excellent communicator, she is able to hear, observe and document complicated intentions, or even just notions, then shape these into goal-driven, clear messages. After working with Lauren for over fifteen years, I have come to rely on her uncanny ability to pull key points from a client's big ideas and distill these into digestible action statements.”
