Meet your teacher
Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Young Adult Author and Entrepreneur.
I spent years working toward my dream of becoming a published author. Now, it is my privilege to get to help thousands of writers from around the world work toward this same goal.
Along the way, I've become passionate about helping authors create professional online presences. I've guided hundreds of writers in creating author websites that impress agents and connect with readers. I combine my backgrounds in tech and writing to demystify the website creation process and make it accessible for all writers, regardless of their technical experience.
