I’m Lauren Bongard, a freelance writer and editor based in Bozeman, Montana. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped publications, businesses, and individuals say what they mean clearly enough that readers trust it.
My range works for you
These days, my work runs on a few tracks. I test products and write reviews for outlets like Popular Mechanics and Real Simple. I write home improvement guides that help homeowners plan, budget for, and hire out real projects. I write website copy, blogs, and newsletters for businesses. And I audit websites to make sure Google and AI tools can find them.
It sounds like a lot of different jobs, but it’s one overarching skill. Testing a robot vacuum teaches me what consumers want to know before they buy. Pricing out a roof replacement teaches me how homeowners make decisions. Both make my client copy sharper, because I know what real people look for and what earns their trust.
I’m also a hands-on DIYer. I know my way around a job site and speak the language, which helps whether I’m interviewing a contractor or explaining a project to a homeowner.
