Cass Lauer – Editor

I have a background in fiction and creative nonfiction with a concentration on identity, feminism/womanism, the queer lens, and intersectionality. Although these are the areas I am mainly focused, I have worked on many books about environmental activism, tech & AI, leadership, female entrepreneurship, self-help, grief, and memoir.While studying Creative Writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, I quickly fell in love with the workshop environment and immediately joined the school’s Literary & Arts Magazine. From then on, I knew that as much as I enjoyed writing, I preferred helping others create stories and books they could be proud of.Throughout college and for some time after, I taught tap classes at my childhood dance studio, Fusion Dance Centre, and only picked up the occasional rough draft from friends. But while I loved my students and my Fusion Family, I was itching to seriously get back into the literary world. I left to pursue a freelance copywriting career where I completed a few one-off jobs before discovering Creator Institute in March 2019. (You can find some of the titles I've worked on below.)I am a huge proponent for the workshop environment as I believe a collaborative experience creates the most interesting, insightful, and polished works. Open feedback, honest critique, and a good deal of cheerleading is the direct line to a book worth being proud of.
