Vicky Lorencen

Vicky Lorencen loves to write for children, not because she’s trying to recapture her childhood, but because she’s never quite left it. Her sense of humor—and the age of her inner child—lend themselves to contemporary MG fiction and non-fiction. Vicky has been in healthcare communication for 16 years, writing about everything from allergies to Zika virus. Vicky’s work for young readers has appeared in Highlights for Children, Ladybug and Girls’ Life. Her first nonfiction book, THE BIG BOOK OF BARF: A Spewnami of Sick Science, Hurled History, and Body Oddities, was published by Bright Matter Books/Random House Children's Books in 2025.
