Theresa Harvard Johnson

Expertise

My area of expertise is in Christian writing. I can address ALL questions pertaining to poetry, spoken word and other forms of creative writing as ministry -- especially for those who believe they write by inspiration. I specialize in assisting these writers with understanding what it is they they do, why they do it, how to effectively use their writing in ministry, education, and outreach.

Experience

I am a poet and spoken word artist. I am the author of one volume of poetry, and have published several books that focus exclusively on Christian writing as ministry. In addition, I have taught on this very subject at conferences, workshops and classes across the country. I am also the founder of a Christian literary nonprofit organization called, Voices of Christ, where we mentor writers nationally and internationally. We have been in existence for more than eight years, and have chapters across the United States. In addition, we host intensive writing retreats that focus on Christian writing as ministry. I am a former, award winning news reporter, the editor of Esdras' Scroll magazine, and presently a freelance writer. In addition, I still perform poetry and spoken word.
