Publications

Patti wrote her first book in first grade. Since then she’s been published in numerous books, journals, and magazines. Creative nonfiction helps her paint word pictures that make even dry academic subject matter more engaging. Her outstanding ability to simplify complex concepts gives the target audience the satisfaction of comprehending difficult topics. And, for more dynamic subject matter, Patti’s story-telling ability captivates readers.

Magazine & Journal Articles

Patti’s written for such diverse publications as HyVee’s Seasons, Life Beautiful, Family Circle, Thriving Family, Facts and Trends, California Gardener, Enrichment Journal, Single Parent Family, and Decision. She wrote a two-year column for Enrichment (a journal for pastors) based on the book she co-wrote with Kent Tucker Red Zone Evangelism and has been a frequent contributer to PE News and the Christian Examiner.

Books

Oversight of the entire book process from the initial proposal to developmental editing to marketing for an astute astronomer (Hugh Ross), a brilliant biochemist (Fazale Rana), and a profound philosopher/theologian (Kenneth Samples) gave Patti enough confidence to tackle any book project. In the Red Zone, co-written with Kent Tucker, was recognized by “Outreach” magazine as one of the top evangelism resources of 2013. Patti also edited God of the Big Bang: How Modern Science Affirms the Creator.

Collaborative Partners

Patti developed, then led a nonprofit’s communications department for almost a decade. While there she instigated and faciliated a relationship with Alive Literary Agency and navigated multi-book contracts with NavPress, Baker Books, and Family Audio Library. Working with a variety of authors, editors, design and marketing professionals, Patti gave oversight to an award-winning magazine and other in-house publications.

For more than two decades, Patti has been a member of the Evangelical Press Association. In 2015 and 2017 she won their Higher Goals in Christian Journalism first place freelance award.
