Terrie Hellard-Brown's First Site

Hypurpley Publishing

Stories that shape who they're becoming

Because faith isn't a chapter; it's the whole story.

It’s about the journey, because of the destination

We publish books that help children and families grow in discipleship.

Discipleship doesn't happen in a lesson. It happens in the questions kids ask at bedtime, in the car, at the dinner table.

Hypurpley Books writes the stories that start those conversations plus handbooks for the parents doing the discipling.

Terrie Hellard-Brown founded Hypurpley Publishing on a conviction she'd spent thirty years proving in classrooms and living rooms: the right story at the right moment changes how a child sees themselves and how a family sees each other.

She's a multi-award-winning author — Golden Scroll, Selah, and more — with fifteen years overseas and a Doctor of Ministry in progress. Alongside publishing, she coaches Christian writers through The Called Writer's Cohort, helping them move from I think God asked me to write this to a finished manuscript. She also teaches homeschool students to write and publish real books of their own.

Terrie and her husband serve internationally through Ethne Global Services.

Inkspired Writer Award

Terrie began this award; however, she has nothing to do with the judging or any of the details until after the winners are chosen. She wanted to create a writers and illustrators award that honored those who wrote from a biblical worldview, focused on blessing families, and helped teach children about God and life.

Any published book that fits the categories may be entered whether independently published or traditionally published.

Winners' books will be featured in all in-person events for that year, authors and illustrators who win will be interviewed on Sparking Everyday Discipleship Podcast and have their book featured. Winners may also ask to see their score and any feedback judges share on the scoring sheets so that they might learn what would make their future books better.

We would love to have you enter.
