House of Acts Press

Welcome!

House of Acts Press exists to help people take the stories, ideas, dreams, and creativity God has placed in them and bring them into the world.

I believe we were created to create, and sometimes all we need is a little encouragement, guidance, and someone who knows how to help us take the next step.

Through writing coaching, classes, creative retreats, and publishing guidance, House of Acts Press helps writers move from “I’ve always wanted to write a book…” to actually writing it.

Whether you’re holding a book idea, a collection of stories, a dream, or simply a desire to create something meaningful, there’s room for your voice at our table.

What We’re About

Writing
Coaching, classes, and encouragement for writers at every stage

Publishing
Guidance for those who want to bring their book from idea to finished project.

Community
Creative retreats and gatherings where writers can connect, create, and be encouraged.


To connect and create.

There are stories only you can tell, ideas only you can bring to life, and things God has placed in you that are meant to be shared.

Let’s find a way to bring them out.

House of Acts Press is also a growing circle of creative women who bring different gifts, experience, and expertise to the table. Our team is intentionally flexible and ever-changing, coming together as needed to help meet the unique needs of each project.

Because sometimes it takes a few different gifts to bring one good thing to life.
