Lauren Hilgers
journalist
“I’m a non-fiction writer, so my inspiration largely comes from the people and the world around me. What I strive for, and what I like best, are the stories that fold hard facts—and the larger currents of politics, history, and society—into a narrative arc that has its own momentum, and that do it without needing to overstate or play on the emotions of their readers.”
