Lauren Parker
Author, Visual Artist
Hi!
Just wanted to drop a note and say hey! I’m the author of Spells for Success that was published this year with Simon and Schuster, and I teach workshops on the connection of spellcraft and poetry.
Bio below:
Lauren Parker is a fourth generation female breadwinner descended from male charlatans, and thus has grown up to become a very educated liar. She is a writer, zine maker, and visual artist and has written for the Toast, Strange Horizons, The Racket, Xtra Magazine, Catapult, and Autostraddle.
Her work focuses on the intersection of class, queerness, and the occult.
She’s the author of the poetry collection We Are Now the Thing in the Woods (Bottlecap Press, 2023), Dark Way Down (Animal Heart Press, 2025), and Spells for Success (Simon Element, 2025). She has a newsletter, Do You Want to Do Some Witchcraft?
