Lauren Horowitz—or “Bird” as she is often known—is a screenwriter and novelist lucky enough to call both Los Angeles and Kauai home. Bird also counts herself lucky that writing exists as a profession—how else could she share the crazy, fantastic worlds in her head? Bird studied writing at Harvard University with novelist Jamaica Kincaid, where she won several prizes including the Edward Eager Memorial Prize for fiction. She’s a proud member of the Writers Guild of America. You can follow Bird on Twitter (@birdaileen) and Instagram (@birdaileen) for trilogy updates.
