Hi!! I’m Lauren Reitzel, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with a BA in English Literature Studies and a minor in writing. This past fall, I began my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a fiction concentration at The New School in no other than New York City. I grew up in the Chicago Suburbs in a city called Naperville, and have spent the past four years in Michigan growing into the person I am today.
Over the past three years, I’ve acquired over 1,000 consultations in nearly every genre of writing. From college applications, creative nonfiction, poetry, academic journal pieces, and lab write-ups, I’ve expanded my knowledge of the limitations of genre and form.
Now, living in Manhattan, attending my MFA program, and writing a ton, I’ve begun working at Penguin Random House as an Editorial Assistant with Penguin Young Readers. With PRH, my current focus is on writing web and cover copy, creating notes for illustrators, and managing administration.
