We are so proud to honor the enduring legacy of Rachel Held Evans with this new book shepherded into existence by the incomparable Sarah Bessey.

BRAVING THE TRUTH is a collection of Rachel’s most iconic essays, in print for the first time, with reflections from Glennon Doyle, Jen Hatmaker, Shauna Niequist, Lisa Sharon Harper, Matthew Paul Turner, Kaitlin B. Curtice, Candice Marie Benbow, and many more.

This book is a treasure trove of wisdom, and a keepsake of one of our generation’s most profound voices.

Sometimes it’s necessary to work with a freelance editor to improve your writing skills or help make your manuscript more marketable. You can find editors by searching Fiverr or Reedsy, though you need to vet them carefully and ask a lot of questions. I’ve compiled a list of editors I know who are very good at what they do. There is a link to each individual website, so that you can see what services they offer and what they charge. Our agency is NOT connected financially or any other way with these editors.
