Biography
Lauren Hildebrand is a fantasy author, editor, and story coach who specializes in character-driven adventures that explore spiritual truth. She is fascinated by the way stories shape our view of the world and ourselves. She strives to write fiction that challenges, encourages, and inspires hope in the midst of an often dark world. As a people-loving introvert, Lauren is passionate about connecting with and mentoring young writers. She loves her work as head instructor at the Author Conservatory and the opportunities it presents to invest in the next generation of Christian storytellers. She lives in always-windy Kansas, considers Asian cuisine a primary food group, and can usually be found devouring classics or planning her next cosplay.
