Welcome to
Lauren Lavelle LiterarY.

Welcome—I’m Lauren.

I’m an 18-year publishing veteran and the founder of Lauren Lavelle Literary, a boutique literary services agency that helps high-profile authors build lasting, meaningful careers. With in-house experience at Random House and Simon & Schuster, and over a decade as an independent consultant, I bring a rare blend of deep industry knowledge, strategic vision, and hands-on execution.

At Lauren Lavelle Literary, I partner closely with authors to amplify their work and expand their reach—launching bestselling books (including multiple New York Times bestsellers), securing high-impact speaking opportunities (TED, Aspen Ideas, and beyond), brokering brand partnerships, and growing brands and platforms. My services span brand and marketing strategy, publicity and event support, operations, and multi-channel content development.

I’m a lifelong book worm whose mission is to help authors — and their work — thrive.
