Lauren Morris – Editor

NYT bestselling editor with 10+ years editing YA, romance, Christian fiction, and inspirational books. Developmental and copyeditor.

Overview

I have a decade of editing experience in genre fiction and nonfiction. I started my career with an independent fiction publisher. I acquired and edited westerns, action adventure, mystery and thrillers, young adult, and Christian fiction. I am currently a Senior Editor at a big 5 publishing house where I edit nonfiction. Many of the books I have worked on are New York Times bestsellers.

I am a hands-on editor who will dive deep into your book to make it come to life. At this time I am available for developmental edits and copyedits for fiction and nonfiction. I am interested in young adult, contemporary romance, Christian fiction, and inspirational nonfiction.

Let’s work together to see what we can create!
