Expert guidance from a senior editor.

Hey friends, so glad you’re here. Welcome to Writers Circle—where I’ll teach you everything I know about writing and publishing.

You’re here because God has given you a love for writing, a message to share, and a desire to publish your work. Sadly, writers spend years fumbling through the publishing world when they could take their next steps.

Writers Circle is where you:

  • Learn to write in a way that keeps people reading

  • Discover how Christian publishing actually works, so you can take your next step

  • Join a community of writers who love Jesus

  • Grow deeper in your relationship with God through writing


No shortcuts here. Just practical tips from a non-fiction editor. And encouragement from other Christian writers who share your vision and want to cheer you on. If that interests you, join the Writers Circle community.

Why me?

As a senior editor at the world’s largest publisher (Penguin) who works specifically with Christian authors, I distill my best learnings to make you a better writer, help you grow your audience, and keep you updated on the latest publishing trends—so you can follow God’s call to write efficiently and joyfully. I’ve coached dozens of writers, helping many of them land literary agents and book deals, and that’s what I’m here to help you do.
