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.

**** COMING SOON ****
Introducing Author Carla Shaw

Carla Shaw is a dynamic woman of faith, purpose, and unwavering devotion to God. With a lifestyle anchored in prayer and sanctification, she is passionate about empowering others to live productive and successful lives aligned with God’s promises. Her love for God, His people, and His Word fuels her every endeavor, whether she’s teaching and preaching with conviction and simplicity or guiding others toward spiritual and personal growth.

A proud native of Ocala, Florida, Carla is the co-founder and co-laborer of Kingdom Impact Ministries, where she serves alongside her husband, Apostle Keith Shaw. Together, they are not only shepherds of their ministry but also proud parents to three daughters and grandparents to one grandson.

Carla is more than a spiritual leader—she is a serial entrepreneur and trailblazer in her community. Through vision, determination, and the grace of God, she has successfully built and operates two thriving businesses: For Gentleman Only Barbershop and God’s Gift Preschool, LLC. Her ventures exemplify her commitment to excellence, community service, and faith-based leadership.

Carla’s mission extends beyond business and ministry. She's deeply committed to sharing knowledge, fostering growth, and inspiring others to embrace lives of purpose and abundance. Whether she’s spending cherished time with her family, immersed in learning, or creating opportunities for others, Carla is driven by one goal: to glorify God in all that she does.

Carla Shaw is a testament to what is possible when faith, vision, and action align. She is a woman of vision, a steward of grace, and an example of faithfulness in every sphere of her life.

✅ ️Great things happened for all who came into agreement with the vision.
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.
Ha!!! God's stirring up gifts...
