The Author's Pen

The Author's Pen We help authors identify their powerful message, connect with their ideal audience and We realized there was a need for something more.

The Author’s Pen was founded by Lindsy Bivens in 2012 in response to the limited options available to new authors. That more was an EXPERIENCE that didn’t look like what every other company was doing. We knew we had to approach publishing differently. With that in mind, we re-launched in 2016 shifting our focus to the support aspect of publishing. We’ve created an experience including partnership

, involving educating, and serving the writer holistically throughout the entire process.We take pride in having a reputational investment in both the writer and the written work. We believe excellence starts with how we support you! Every author and every project deserves the same level of excellence. We specialize in non-fiction, including but not limited to: Christian living, inspirational, memoir, educational, and business titles.

💡Your Story Holds Power—But Only If You Share It.

How many times have you thought, “I have something valuable to say, but who would listen?”

Here’s the truth:

🎯Someone is waiting for Y.O.U.

Your experiences, your insights, your lessons—they could be the breakthrough someone else desperately needs. But if you never write that book, launch that business, take that stage, or step into your purpose, they may never hear it.

Businesses were launched and expanded.
Speaking careers were expanded.
Collaboration happened.
Lives were impacted.

✅️ People from Jacksonville, FL, Houston, TX, Savannah, GA and beyond were inspired and positioned for opportunities.
