Writing

In addition to my work though my business (In)dialogue Communications, I write articles for print and web publications, some of which you can read here. If you’re interested in having me write a guest post or article, please contact me and I’ll happy to talk with you about what you’re looking for.

You can also find me managing the content of Moody Publishers’ corporate blog, www.insidepages.net, and blogging for Crosswalk.com.  In the past, I have served as:

  • Contributing Editor for Start Marriage Right
  • Editorial Assistant and weekly contributor to the blog of Relief Journal
  • Staff writer for the Ryrie Study Bible blog
  • I have also edited or ghost-written articles that have appeared in WORLD magazine, Leadership Journal, The Christian Post, RELEVANT magazine, and more.
