Book Launch- Lauren Campbell “When They Were in Vogue”

January 17, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Celebrate the launch of Lauren’s Campbell’s historical fiction book, “When They Were in Vogue.” Join us as we explore this powerful work of historical fiction that covers race, art, friendship, and identity during one of America’s most dynamic cultural moments. The book takes place in the summer of 1929, where siblings Scott and Alice travel from the South to a vibrant and bustling Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance.

This event is perfect for readers of historical fiction with heart, depth, and modern resonance.

About the Author:

Lauren Campbell has been writing stories since childhood, drawn to narratives that illuminate overlooked histories and explore the complexities of human nature. A third-year law student at UC Berkeley School of Law, Lauren brings a keen eye for justice and nuance to fiction that interrogates themes of race, belonging, and social change.

The first 5 attendees will receive a copy of the book thanks to our sponsor, Sobrato Foundation.
