About Us
Ben Sobieck
Inventor, President; The Writer's Glove, LLC
Ben Sobieck spent much of his professional career in the publishing world as an editor and product manager, working for companies like F+W Media and Reader's Digest/Trusted Media Brands. His books have been published by Penguin Random House, and his fiction won the world's largest writing contest at Wattpad—twice. The world of books, magazines, TV shows, and digital content set the stage for his next chapter with The Writer's Glove®.
It all started with a grueling deadline for a book project. Ben worked late into the night in a drafty, old house during the winter in Minnesota. His hands kept getting cold and stiff, making it hard to type on a computer keyboard. He tried candles and fingerless gloves, but nothing quite worked. What he needed was a complete, warm glove that still allowed him to type comfortably.
After a lot of experimentation, The Writer's Glove was born. In 2017, the LLC officially formed. Here's an early video from the first version:
Not long afterward, GLAMOUR magazine blasted The Writer's Glove out of Ben's basement and into the world with an editorial mention from out of the blue. That momentum propelled The Writer's Glove onto hands in more than 55 countries.
"I've released many versions of The Writer's Glove, and each gets closer to that ultimate vision I have for these gloves," Ben said. "I sincerely thank every customer who tries my gloves. If your day is a little better, a little more comfortable, or a little warmer, then I've done my job."
Lauren Miller
Chief Marketing Officer; The Writer's Glove, LLC
Lauren Miller comes to The Writer's Glove, LLC, via Dala Marketing. While customers may not have interacted with Lauren directly, they've definitely seen her fingerprints across social media, news outlets, graphic designs, and beyond.
Lauren's extensive experience covers a lot of ground. Building from her time in the newspaper industry, she's led ad departments, published a magazine, built marketing teams, and pioneered digital strategy.
At The Writer's Glove, she brings the mission of warm hands on keyboards to the world. When she's not crafting a new approach to social media or AI, she's probably talking to a reporter or lining up a review.
Like Ben, Lauren was raised in Minnesota, so dealing with cold temperatures is nothing new. Marketing in the age of AI is, though, which is why The Writer's Glove is thankful for her!
