dunamis words light your world

LIGHT • YOUR • WORLD

Who We Are

Dunamis Words is a small, close-knit literary agency with a huge vision. It began when God prophetically led me to represent myself for Josiah’s Fire in 2015. That opened the door to more authors and ministry leaders who needed guidance, and I found myself organically stepping into the agenting role, helping one author at a time, until Dunamis Words was born.

Dunamis means power. Our team at Dunamis Words relies on the power of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide. I love watching my authors wield words like swords, bringing light to the world, one book at a time, one movie at a time.

It is my joy to also be a literary manager, giving film and entertainment representation to multi-award-winning screenwriters Christopher Bessette and Jeanne Dukes.

From the Agent’s Desk

What an honor to regularly pray for my top-notch clients. We’re like a family. Each brings something uniquely beautiful to the table and world.

One’s heart matters as much as one’s calling and ability to write. These authors work diligently at growing their craft and tuning their antennae to the Creator and wellspring of life. From a deep abiding relationship with Christ flows the richest substance and wisdom.
