JENNIFER

Tyndale Momentum | Author
DaySpring (in)courage | Contributing Writer
National Speaker

Biography

Jennifer is a national speaker and author of two books, The Happiness Dare and Love Idol. She’s a journalist at heart. She used to cover crime, politics, and natural disasters as a news reporter for several Midwestern metropolitan daily newspapers. Now, she uses her reporting skills to chase after the biggest story ever: the redemptive story of Christ. Jennifer and her husband, Scott, live on the Lee family farm in Iowa where they are raising crops, pigs, and two humans.

Workshop

How a Small Platform Writer Can Get a Book Deal
It was 2012. Jennifer didn’t have a big platform or a large blog following. Her speaking gigs were mostly MOPS groups and small Christmas luncheons. The experts would have told you that, on paper, Jennifer would probably not get a book contract from a major publisher. The experts would have been wrong. A
major publisher released Jennifer’s first book in 2014, and then re-signed her for a second book in 2016.
