Hi I’m Lauren

Your Personal Writing Tutor and Guide

After navigating the labyrinth of traditional publishing, I realized how many aspiring writers could benefit from a roadmap. That's why I decided to become that guide.

My debut novel, 'We Ship It,' was a dream come true, but it wasn't easy to get there. I want to help other writers achieve that same joy, minus the roadblocks.

From my own journey, I know that writing a book is only half the battle; getting it into the hands of readers is the other. My mission is to simplify that process for you.

I'm here to be your advocate in this challenging journey towards publication. I know the highs and lows intimately and I'm here to guide you through them.

I spent years in the startup world before diving into publishing.

Navigating both startups and publishing has given me a unique vantage point on how to manage risk and seize opportunities. I bring this holistic approach to all my videos, free resources, and courses.
