Her books have been a Christy Amplify Award winner, Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year, and Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Anna Rose continues to write and impact readers with her historical fiction. Speaking of her time in the program she's shared, “The Author Conservatory really has made all the difference for me!”

Graduate Spotlight: Juliet Artman

Juliet has drafted two full-length novels, three novellas, and eight pieces of short fiction. Plus, she earned $30,000 from her cleaning business the year she graduated from the Author Conservatory at 20-years-old.

With a growing business and a stellar writing education, Juliet is positioned to pursue her writing dreams without financial pressure. As she puts it, “I will never be a starving artist and I have the Author Conservatory to thank for that.”

Graduate Spotlight: Calissa Ding

While she was still a teenager, Calissa signed a six-figure two-book contract with an imprint of Macmillan for her middle-grade contemporary novels. Her first book, A Thousand Paper Lives, will release in 2028.

As Calissa looks forward to releasing her first book, she had this to share about her time in the program: “You guys are the best mentors I could’ve hoped for… I’m only too happy to brag about The Conservatory to everyone I meet.”

Graduate Spotlight: Sarah Pagel

Sarah drafted five novels, two novellas, and a short story and completely paid for her Author Conservatory tuition through the petsitting business we helped her start.

She writes: “I grew up dreaming about Hogwarts, Narnia, Camp Half-Blood, and Rivendell—places of wonder and belonging I ached to step into. The Author Conservatory has been that place for me, a haven that’s given me a community, taught me how to wield my sword for the Kingdom, and helped me step into the woman God created me to be.”

Following graduation, Sarah landed a job at Tyndale House Publishers, where she works as a part of their sales department.
