Hey there! It’s Hope.

I have a lot of practice with words.

• I started writing seriously over ten years ago, when I was sixteen
• I’ve self-published nine books
• I wrote dozens of articles about writing, first for Kingdom Pen and then for Story Embers
• I’ve answered questions about writing and crafted newsletters for Story Embers for five+ years
• With eight younger siblings, I learned how to communicate at different levels
• With the study of personality types, I learned how to communicate with different people
• I worked two and a half years at a therapeutic boarding school, fine-tuning my knowledge of how phrases and tone affect ot
  hers
• I’ve seen the disastrous effects of miscommunication and lack of communication

Words are puzzles. They’re magic. They take our thoughts, passions, and feelings and turn them into something shareable.

Words are the foundation to your story. To that message you long to share. To the truth that can change someone’s life.

Words are powerful. Let me help you choose the best ones.

Official bio

Hope Ann likes to think of herself as an undercover resistance fighter in the battle for truth. In reality, her bluntness and sarcasm make her anything but “undercover.” The oldest of nine children, she has an arsenal of experience ranging from jiu-jitsu, living in the Dominican Republic for two years, and working with troubled teenagers.

Her greatest struggle is realizing she can’t do everything, but it hasn’t stopped her from periodically trying.

Based in central Indiana, her day-to-day life involves brainstorming theories about Sanderson’s Cosmere with her husband, collecting situation-perfect memes, and struggling to remember the difference between effect and affect. She is the author of nine fantasy books, a writing coach, and an editor with a focus on showing emotion instead of telling it.

Enlist in her ranks for humor, sarcasm, and blunt, honest truth. Click here for all that, plus a free Marsadon novelette.
