Aimee, I really enjoyed this conversation! Thank you so much Lauren for sharing! I was not familiar with the term "Upmarket thriller," that was an interesting take.

Aimee, in your notes, I suggest you edit - the Pitchfest at Thrillerfest is not a contest. It's a kind of speed-dating event, where you get to pitch numerous agents in one day. (I found my first agent there.) Apart from that little tweak, I found the notes to be extremely useful!

It's also very interesting to note that Lauren got a lot out of Reese's Book Club - because she put a lot into it. She made a point of getting to know the other book club authors and forming community with them. There's luck, and then there is elbow grease!

Finally, it really stands out to me that she does her book promotion virtually.

I really loved this conversation and hope you do more like this!

I immediately went and bought Lauren's first book!
