Lauren Underwood

Lauren Underwood is a writer and author based in Kansas City. Her love for writing started young, thanks to the encouragement from her family and teachers. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of Kansas, hoping to pursue a career in writing. She began writing professionally for a digital marketing agency, eventually moving up into a managerial position requiring SEO strategy work, writing and editing, social media management, and more.

Lauren self-published “these nights I spend with my ghosts,” her first poetry book that tells the story of her struggles with mental health. She eventually released her second book, “my bones in your backyard,” with a deeper focus on heartbreak and her experiences related to relationships.

Lauren continues to write poetry, hoping to provide a raw yet ambiguous journey for the reader. She currently has a contemporary fiction novel in the works and plans to write in other fiction genres.
