Write clean Christian fiction without compromise — even if you’re starting after 50.
I know what it’s like to carry a story in your heart for years and still wonder if it’s too late to begin.
When I first stepped into the writing world, I was overwhelmed. So much of what I found felt secular, edgy, or out of step with my faith. I wanted to write stories that honored God and reflected my values — without settling for shallow plots or sugarcoated characters.
That desire led me on a journey: from homeschool mom to published author, from uncertain beginner to mentor for other Christian writers. And now I’m here to walk alongside you.
I’m Kathleen Guire — Christian author, educator, and trauma-informed writing mentor. I help Christian writers over 50 find their voice and publish clean fiction readers love.
