Lauren Stacks is from a small town in Michigan. (If you'd like, she could point out the location for you on her hand.) She received a BA in Psychology and Creative Writing from Hope College in Holland, Michigan. While she has worked as an old-fashioned candy scooper, a waitress, and a magazine reporter, she is currently nannying in Chicago (she gets paid to build forts and make origami cranes).
Lauren mainly writes longer fiction, although she tries to dabble in memoir and poetry as well. Her influences include Jack Ridl, Heather Sellers, Abigail Thomas, Ernest Hemingway, and Lorrie Moore. She enjoys writing in the second person, and likes to think that she writes scenes rather than plots.
When she isn't working or in class, Lauren enjoys organizing, cooking, exploring Chicago, and spending her (loan) money on coffee and bakery treats.
