E.J. Lauren

E.J. Lauren (she/her) aspires to write books that inspire empathy and celebrate wonder and mystery.

She loves autumn (Halloween should be a federal holiday), the spooky and ethereal, eating good food with good company, and will die on the hill that hoarding books is a practice of self care. In 2019, E.J. founded the writers’ group that would eventually grow into the Crooked Trees. With the love and support of this eclectic forest, she got her first story published in 2022. She’s currently working on her first novel (a medieval executioner story in a high fantasy setting). She lives in Chicago with her partner and two cats.
