Hello!

I’m Lauren, an author and editor based in Los Angeles.

Growing up, I loved to read. I remember trips to the library with my mom and sister, our arms filled with as many books as we could carry.

Fascinated by how stories can shape our understanding of the world, I majored in English at Princeton and film production and screenwriting at USC School of Cinematic Arts, and for the past decade, I’ve worked as an editor and cutting assistant on documentaries, TV shows, films, and commercials for HBO, Netflix, Disney, and more.

Now, it feels like I’ve come full circle. My debut novel, SOCIETY OF LIES, A Reese’s Book Club Pick and USA Today Bestseller, was published October 1st with Bantam, Penguin Random House.

Set at Princeton, Society of Lies follows biracial sisters, Maya and Naomi, as they uncover a corrupt secret society within one of the social clubs and asks the question: How far would you go to belong?

I hope you enjoy!
