I help Christian girls fill their lives with light by focusing on Jesus.
I’m a story addict and novelist drawing on my southern roots to craft stories splashed with color and emotion. My writing has been read in more than forty countries so far and I aspire to write gripping, whimsical stories that keep readers up till three a.m.
I was the managing editor of Fantastical Summer, a beach read for the Christian girls (because Jesus-followers can have fun too). This collection of short stories, published by The Pearl and written by fifteen different authors, includes one of my own stories. The collection as a whole received five-star reviews from readers of all ages and genders.
With training in copy editing, developmental editing, social media management, and public speaking, I’m open to inquiries about speaking engagements and freelance editing.
I also offer 30-minute and 60-minute Individual Coaching Calls to aspiring writers. Direct inquiries about any of these services to my contact form.
I’d love to connect. Please join my mailing list for weekly articles about ushering the light into your life and to be one of the first to hear about it when I release a new book.
My books are 100% free from smut/open-door sex scenes and language and you can unsubscribe from my mailing list at any time.
You can also find me on Instagram, my Facebook page, and my YouTube channel.
Much love,
Vella

“I enjoyed this collection of stories for their creativity, imagination, and orginality.
There were several that had me wishing for a second chapter so I could learn more about the intriguing characters and situations.”
“I love it! It has been funny, interesting, relatable and un-put-down-able.”
“Fantastical Summer is a charming, thought-provoking collection of 15 short stories presented by The Pearl and The Company. Designed for teen readers (and the young at heart), this clean, faith-centered anthology blends whimsical magic with real-world themes of identity, hope, and belonging.”
