Laura Pedersen’s non-fiction spans over three decades, from Play Money (1991) to A Theory of Everything Else (2020). Her earliest books draw on her unusual experience as a teenage Wall Street trader, while later works explore her roots in Buffalo, New York (Buffalo Gal, Buffalo Unbound) and her travels in India (Planes, Trains, and Auto-Rickshaws).

Life In New York (2015) focuses on the quirks and challenges of city living, and A Theory of Everything Else (2020) collects essays on a range of topics. Throughout her non-fiction, Pedersen maintains the same wry, observant voice that defines her novels and children’s books.
