Biography
Jillian Lauren is an American author, singer, adoption advocate, and former call girl who was born on August 16, 1973. Her best-known work is her candid and best-selling book, Some Girls: My Life in a Harem.
She was born and grew up in Livingston, New Jersey. After graduating from Newark Academy in 1991, she relocated to New York City and attended New York University for a brief period of time to study acting.
Lauren’s best-selling memoir Some Girls: My Life in a Harem (2010), which described her experience as a young lady enlisted in the Prince of Brunei’s harem, caused a stir in the literary world. The book’s unvarnished examination of sex, power, and human growth garnered extensive media attention.
Following her triumph, she wrote the very intimate book Everything You Ever Wanted (2015) about trauma, adoption, and parenthood, and Pretty (2011), a novel that explores the emotional effects of addiction, grief, and identity.
In 2023, Lauren published Behold the Monster: Facing America’s Most Prolific Serial murderer, a terrifying examination of her interviews and correspondence with serial murderer Samuel Little over a period of years.
Confronting a Serial Killer, a five-part STARZ documentary that aired in 2021, focused on her unwavering attempts to identify Little’s victims and assist their families in finding peace. The book built on this work.
Lauren has written articles and features for magazines like New York Magazine, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Elle, The Paris Review, Salon, and others. She graduated from Antioch University with a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing.
She presented a TEDx Talk about adoption and identity at Chapman University in 2014
During her appearances on The Howard Stern Show, Good Morning America, and The View, she talked about her advocacy work, her books, and her history. She also had an open blog on The Huffington Post from 2012 until 2017, where she discussed trauma, recovery, and parenthood.
