Lauren “Grace” Hathaway

Lauren "Grace" Hathaway is the founder of Grace Taylor PR and brings more than three decades of experience in publishing, media relations, publicity, and strategic communications. She began her career in Omaha, Nebraska, where she co-founded Omaha Family magazine and helped grow it into the region's most widely distributed monthly publication.

Following the sale of the magazine, Lauren built a successful publicity practice representing authors, entrepreneurs, businesses, and consumer brands. Throughout her career, she has secured national media coverage in outlets including The New York Times, Oprah Magazine, PARENTS, USA Today, and the Today Show.

After several years with a leading book publicity firm, where she represented authors across a wide range of genres, Lauren launched Grace Taylor PR to provide personalized publicity, branding, and media relations services. Today, she combines decades of storytelling expertise with a passion for helping authors, brands, businesses, and thought leaders connect with the audiences that matter most, alongside her daughter and business partner, Jordan.
