传记与作者历程

Lauren Roberts is a Michigan-based young adult fantasy author whose rise began before she had formally entered publishing. Raised in Michigan, she had been writing stories for years and posting on TikTok since her teens. At 18, while balancing college classes and a part-time job, she read part of a college assignment aloud on TikTok Live; the response pushed her toward fiction on a larger scale. She drafted Powerless in a matter of months, moved home to learn self-publishing, and brought out the novel in early 2023, when she was 19. ((https://www.laurenrobertslibrary.com/about/))
