Lauren Keenan (Te Atiawa ki Taranaki) started writing after having
children, to give herself something to think about that wasn't baby
food, sleep routines, and a pile of laundry so big it ought to have
its own gravitational pull. She has eight short stories published
in three short story collections: Huia 11 (2015), Huia 12 (2017)
and Huia 13 (2019). In 2017 she won the Pikihuia Best Short Story
award, and in 2019 was a finalist in the Pikihuia Best Emerging
Writer category.
Lauren has a Master of Arts in History, and has worked for both
central and local government in New Zealand and the UK. She calls
Wellington home.
Lauren's #lifegoal is to see 50 countries before she's 50,
although, admittedly, she still has a way to go.
The 52 Week Project is her first full-length book.
