Lauren joined Lucinda Literary in 2022.

She’s passionate about elevating voices and stories that start important cultural conversations and is particularly interested in YA and children’s literature, upmarket fiction, and projects on religion and spirituality.

She acquired The Unseen Body by Dr. Jonathan Reisman and edited books, including New York Times-bestselling titles El Jefe by Alan Feuer and The Lincoln Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch. Most recently, she worked as a freelance editorial consultant with a slate of clients, including corporations, nonprofits, and writers.
