Hi! My name is Laur and  I’m the artist/writer for Polterguys.

About Polterguys

Polterguys  is a series of books telling the story of a nerdy college girl befriending a bunch of ghost guys and solving their unfinished businesses. It is inspired by a love of awesome 90’s movies, reverse-harem shojo manga and strong female characters on TV dramas.

I came up with the idea way back in 2007 and have been tinkering with details for about three years. In 2011, I collaborated with my writing partner Nathan and completed working drafts until we came up with the story you’ll be able to read now.  I was planning to pitch it to different publishers but realized I would benefit more from the experience of self-publishing it.

Polterguys Vol. 1 was serialized online for free from Feb. 18, 2012 through Jun. 29, 2012. It was awarded the prestigious Xeric Grant in Jun. 15, 2012 and debuted at Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
