Holly Braendlein

Managing Editor

Holly is a "special" teenager based in the PNW where her father is a vegetable farmer. Special doesn't begin to describe her eccentricities, which include a rare genetic disorder called mitochondrial disease; a G-tube since the age of two; OCD (Probably one of her less eccentric details); blazing red hair and a temper to fit it; and an affinity to the country. Her talents and hobbies include sewing, quilting, writing, obsessive cleaning and organizing, writing letters, story-telling, sleeping, and goofing off when she shouldn't. You'll find her short stories in the online Christian magazine "Pure in Heart," where she has her own spot on their home page. You'll also find her articles in the Canadian Christian magazine "Reformed Perspective," where she regularly contributes.

Kate Evelyn

Graphic Designer

Kate Evelyn is first and foremost the daughter of God. She seeks to glorify Him in everything, especially her writing. It is her goal to spread the Gospel through her stories and to give hope, where light conquers darkness and where readers are given the chance to dream again through a variety of different genres. From a young age, Kate would convince her sisters to reenact Narnia, How to Train Your Dragon, and Star Wars in their backyard, imaging up all sorts of adventures the characters could take. Ever since she's been creating stories of her own, where heroes are forged through God's principles. When not writing, Kate can be found baking, reading, listening to music or playing hymns on the piano, playing card and board games with her family, designing collages for her characters, and working in the classroom, helping teach four-year-old's.

Holly Hartsell

Social Media Intern

Holly Hartsell is a teenager who has been scribbling stories onto paper for as long as she can remember. She finished her first long-ish project at fourteen years old, and has been writing ever since. Now she spends her days imagining dramatic confessions of love and ways to create more tension. Other than author-y things, her hobbies include playing guitar and daydreaming when she should be writing. She lives in her bedroom with her family and two annoyingly-lovable younger siblings, who make it really hard for her to focus while she writes.

Ann Weaver

Summit Coordinator

When she’s not reading or writing, you might find her baking, emailing her friends, or learning American Sign Language.
