Chelsea Lauren, the founder of Represent Publishing, started writing in middle school. After having vivid dreams that kept her up at night, her mom convinced her to write them down. From then on, the rest is history.
After self-publishing her first novel, Underneath the Whiskey, she recognized how complicated and expensive the self-publishing world could be. Since then, she's been dedicated to ensuring it's a seamless and affordable process for indie authors.
Chelsea has a bachelor and master’s degree in Creative Writing and English from Southern New Hampshire University, and 7+ years of experience in the industry. With her expertise, she is dedicated to creating her own opportunities and opening doors for other writers to do the same. She strives to help authors achieve the book of their dreams.
Outside of Represent, Chelsea is a mom to a son and two pups, and she's an indie author just like you!
Brittany Evans has always been known for her creativity and wild imagination. Growing up, she would make websites of her favorite TV shows like Winx Club and Mew Mew Power, spending hours and hours until they looked just right. In high school, she went on to be the yearbook editor in her senior year, discovering a passion for design she could pursue as a career.
With a graphic design degree and 5+ years of experience in the industry, Brittany is constantly seeking to expand her knowledge. Currently working in the digital marketing field, Brittany knows exactly what it takes to get your ads in front of the right people.
Having an equal love for books as designs, Brittany has been pursing publishing her own stories. Brittany’s learned far too well that authors are often left doing most of their marketing themselves. So, Brittany has found how to combine her two loves together by creating promotional designs for authors from bookmarks, social media posts, to even book covers.
Kelsey is a lifelong lover of reading and writing books. As a kid she spent hours on the family's desktop computer after school writing stories about characters like herself and ones she dreamed of being. She has always been fascinated by people and took that curiosity with her to college where she studied journalism and creative writing. That was also where she discovered a talent for the finer mechanics and inner workings of writing. After college, she became a farmer . . . but that's a different story.
Though life has taken her down many paths, she always comes back to the same place. Editing is Kelsey's true passion. There is nothing she loves more than the feeling of looking at a fresh, untouched project ready to be edited. Well, perhaps that moment when she finally gets a string of sentences to convey exactly what the writer means. But maybe the feeling she loves most is a talented author trusting her to prepare their vulnerable words for publication. With more than 10 years of experience, she aims to be approachable, sensitive, and empowering with her edits.

Represent Publishing was initially created as a platform for me, Chelsea Lauren, to publish my books across various genres. However, word spread quickly about my expertise in self-publishing, leading the company to expand even before its official launch.
As our client base grew, Represent Publishing adapted to meet their needs and desires. Our primary objective remains providing an affordable and smooth self-publishing experience. To achieve this, we offer flexible payment options and customizable services that accommodate clients’ budgets while making their publishing dreams come true.
