  • Poetry Submissions

    "It has been great working with Lauren to get my poems submitted. We received the first acceptance within two months, and I'm now up to 30 poems accepted/published. I recommend this service if you are intimidated or overwhelmed by the literary journal submissions process."

  • Editing & Submissions

    “My writing group referred me to Lauren, and I feel so lucky they did! She knows what it takes to polish a piece so it’s ready to submit. She gave wonderful guidance on the submission process, and together, we targeted the journals that seemed to be a good fit based on her insight and research. The best part was that, within a week, I received an acceptance! The glee, the glee! I plan to continue working with Lauren when I have stories in need of her expert TLC, and can’t thank her enough.”

  • Writing Workshops

    “I loved this entire experience of the group workshop. Lauren is such a caring and thoughtful leader. And she gave the most affirming and positive feedback! I’m grateful for all of her encouragement, especially for a newbie like me. I have been talking about starting a blog for a while, but I never felt like I had the skills to be an impactful writer. Thanks to Lauren for believing in me!! It has meant a lot to me.”

Her passion for the written word has helped me get my poetry published, which is something I had never dreamed of until I started working with her. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor in my writing career.”
