Lauren Hubbard
Write On! Online Instructor 

Lauren is an avid and excited adventurer, storyteller, editor, and photographer. After she graduated from the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism with an emphasis in cross-platform editing and production, Lauren put her life into a suitcase and backpacked Europe for eight months. Along the way, she told slice-of-life stories that look inside the lives of Bulgarian chess players, chili pepper farmers in Norway, pig rescuers in Ireland, and more. After starting at Write On! in August 2024, she fell in love with teaching others the joys of creative writing. Lauren is also Write On’s editor for authors of all ages, but she specifically mans the editor’s desk for self-publishers. Lauren is currently a farmer at Yellowstone Farmstead, right outside of the beautiful Yellowstone National Park. She teaches her classes and meets with students remotely on Write On’s Zoom. She can’t wait to e-meet you!
