About Lauren

Hello! I'm Lauren, and I've been around YWS for (so very nearly) seven years. I've formally studied creative writing in university for almost as long, and am almost finished with my Masters of Fine Arts in fiction writing so you might say I know my stuff (or, at least, I know how to act like I know my stuff).

Someday I hope to teach creative writing at the college level, but until then I'm happy to read and critique the work of my peers and young writers at places like YWS. I love to talk writing and will blabber on about anything remotely related until someone makes me stop.

My pronouns are she/her but I will happily respond to they/their.

Too often we crave the extraordinary in life, without even learning how to cherish the ordinary first. Friend, I promise you this: if you can learn to take joy in the simple mundane things in life, the extraordinary will take care of itself, it'll be on its way, hurrying towards you. But if you skip the first part, it'll ever evade you.
