Lauren Thoman

Lauren Thoman writes speculative fiction for teens and adults, including You Shouldn’t Be Here and I’ll Stop the World, which was selected for publication in 2023 by six-time Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling through her eponymous imprint, Mindy’s Book Studio. Lauren’s pop culture writing has appeared in numerous online outlets including Parade and Vulture.
