**I will be closing for queries on 5/1/24 and reopening over the summer. Going forward, I will be open for queries for the first full week of every month, unless otherwise noted here. Thank you for your interest in querying me!**
Lauren is looking to amplify underrepresented stories and voices, and is especially interested in literary and upmarket-crossover fiction, narrative nonfiction, and contemporary children’s books (middle grade and young adult) with a timely, distinctive story and a diverse cast of characters. Lauren is not a great fit for mysteries/thrillers, science fiction/fantasy, historical fiction, women's fiction, memoir without a broader research/reportage element, or picture books.
