Lauren J’s passion for writing began in childhood and has never stopped. After graduating with a bachelor's in journalism from San Diego State University, she pursued her dream career in employee communications. She’s written everything from articles and workshops to speeches and brochures and has reached more than 500,000 employees across all industries. Clients include Petco, ScrippsHealth, In-N-Out Burger, Websense, Intuit, Sharp HealthCare, SAIC, the American Red Cross, Flextronics, Century Aluminum, and more.

Since becoming a freelance writer and editor, Lauren has expanded her expertise and creative skill set to include book editing, ghostwriting, eBooks, press kits, digital content, and copywriting across all platforms and genres.

If there’s something to be written, Lauren uses her extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and focused listening to make sure the client’s voice is heard and the targeted messaging is precise.

One thing Lauren loves about writing for clients is having the opportunity to explore and evaluate what’s really important to them. She listens to learn their needs and get a clear sense of their values. It’s rewarding when Lauren produces a piece of work and the client says, “That’s me! That’s what I meant! You wrote what I wanted to say!”

Lauren prides herself on giving people her full attention. When she’s discussing a project with a client or author, she’s not sending texts or checking emails or doing the dishes at the same time. She believes clients' time is important and they deserve to be heard. As Henry David Thoreau said, "The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer."
