Hey, I'm Lauren.
Writer & tenderfoot poet.

Writing through trauma, healing, and Christian de/reconstruction.

Look for my debut memoir coming in 2025 from Lake Drive Books.

i’m glad you’re here.

Post-evangelicals need voices. They need signposts. They need stories from people who, like them, are swimming somewhere between doubt and faith, despair and hope, deconstruction and whatever comes next.

That's why I write.

Kind Words

"Lauren writes with the kind of honesty, vulnerability and raw imagery that pulls me right in…and in entering her world, I constantly find myself transformed. This is what great writing does: it silences the cacophony that we might listen to something pulsing below the surface of our own skin."

Kendall Lamb, writer and founder of Touching the Elephant

"Lauren strikes that rare balance between asking hard questions, presenting them without malice, and charming readers with phenomenal writing all at the same time."

Raj Lulla, author of The Caring House

"While the internet is rife with divisive rhetoric, there are writers committed to the kind of truth that brings a collective sense of returning home to ourselves again and again. Lauren is one of them."

Jenny Vanderberg Shannon, writer and founder of Eat My Words

My Story

Meet Lauren.

A thirty-something, doubtful-yet-hopeful Jesus person. Writing my way through despair towards a better way.

I daylight as a professional conversion copywriter, penning words even non-readers read: descriptions on product packaging and Amazon pages, brand taglines, social media ads… But after 5 o’clock, I moonlight as an aspiring WRITER writer. I’m preparing to query my first non-fiction, a travel memoir that follows my journey through India, spiritual deconstruction, and trauma recovery.

I used to be: a confident evangelical, a homeschool student, a foster mom, a world traveler, and a professional videographer. I don’t really claim any of these identities anymore. But enough about me.

If my work sounds interesting to you, make sure to add your email to my subscribers list. I won’t pester you, promise. I don’t have time to write tons of emails. But you will be the first to know when I hit benchmarks in this publishing journey.
