Owner & Romance Ringleader
Lauren Helms is a romance-loving, list-making, Netflix-queue-hoarding mom of three who turned her love of books into a full-blown career. She got her start at Penguin Random House (yep, the big leagues), helping level up their social media game at Prima Games. From there, she launched a romance book blog, read hundreds of love stories a year, and eventually co-founded a PR company with her author bestie—before going solo with Indie Pen PR in 2021.She’s not just behind the scenes, either—Lauren’s also a romance author herself with multiple series available in Kindle Unlimited. When she’s not wrangling releases or wielding her red pen as a development editor, you can probably find her baking, reading, or hanging out on Facebook.
Romance Hype Girl & Blogger Whisperer
Amy Bosica fell head over heels for the book world in 2013 and never looked back. What started as a stay-at-home mom’s escape turned into a full-blown love affair with reading—and eventually, a dream job in romance publicity. From YA obsessions like Twilight and Divergent to her current love of all things swoony, spicy, and happily-ever-after, Amy reads it all (as long as it keeps her hooked).She got her start blogging at Once Upon a Book, built her skills supporting authors she adored, and officially joined the PR world with Forever Write before bringing her sparkle to Indie Pen PR. When she’s not matching bloggers with books or spreading buzz for your next release, she’s exploring Colorado with her husband, two daughters, and their pair of adventurous pups.
Romance Buzz Builder & Story Spinner
Kate Stacy has been falling in love with fictional worlds since the days of Goosebumps and The Babysitter’s Club. Now a contemporary romance author, she brings readers swoony heroes, sassy heroines, and all the feels in her Stars Align and Love & Liquor series. She published her first book in 2019 and hasn’t stopped writing since.Before she was crafting her own HEAs, Kate was deep in the book world—beta reading, ARC reviewing, street teaming, and fangirling over favorite authors. Now, as a publicist, she channels that same energy into helping fellow romance writers grow their reach and get their books into readers' hands.She lives in North Carolina with her husband, three kids, and one moody cat. When she’s not writing, promoting, or wrangling the chaos, you’ll find her curled up with her Kindle and a new book boyfriend.
Swoon-Worthy Social Strategist
Casey Ragghianti has been in a committed relationship with books her whole life—bonus points if there’s magic, mayhem, or messy romance involved. A proud indie romance fangirl, she’s a pro at juggling multiple reads (as long as they’re in different formats), with audiobooks topping her current TBR game.After finding her bookish soulmates on Bookstagram, Casey went from pretty stacks and buddy reads to ARC teams, alpha/beta reading, editing, and promo support. Now she’s all-in with Indie Pen PR, hyping authors and building community one reading sprint at a time.When she’s not baking up treats at Bookshelf Bakery or sipping her signature flat white, you’ll find her hanging with her pups, cheering for the Caps, or hunting for her next favorite read (no dog-eared pages, please).
