Hello, my name is Loren!

I started out with a love of reading from a young age, speeding through books as fast as I could get them. That quickly morphed into folding paper in half and stapling it together to make my own “books”. None of those survived my childhood, but my passion for reading and the written word persisted.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Washington. Throughout my courses, I gained invaluable experience editing and proofreading both my peers’ and my own writing. This spanned multiple creative genres and academic essays, and allowed me to collaborate with a multitude of personalities and writing styles to improve every draft we worked on.

The class workshops we underwent were especially helpful. They gave me massive experience with developmental editing and were some of my favorite parts of the classes. Discussing all the fun parts of developing a story and working with the author to brainstorm helped spark my passion for talking with an author about their process. 

When not writing or reading, I’m usually found cuddling with my cats, playing story and puzzle heavy video games, baking, or crocheting something with the softest yarn I can find.
