Helping Writers Become Authors.
Innovation. Creativity. Excellence.
“I credit Vanessa Chandler with discovering my talent and helping teach me how to become a professional author. Vanessa helped me finish my first manuscript and six months later The Supernatural Ways of Royalty went on to become a bestseller! Since that time, I’ve written many other books and more of them have become bestsellers. I highly recommend Vanessa to any author.”

Vanessa Joy Chandler
- Founder & Creative Writer -
Reputed as a behind-the-scenes ghostwriter and creative writer of both fiction and non-fiction, Vanessa Joy Chandler’s clients have been featured in the Washington Post, Fox News, The Eric Metaxas Show and Focus on the Family.
She spent her childhood in Malawi and Kenya, Africa, and has lived in Central American and Europe, travelling abroad often throughout adulthood. Her education credits include a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, certification in teaching social science and English literature, and awards in entrepreneurship, music, and leadership.
Vanessa began as a freelance editor in 2004 for personal clients, publishing companies, magazines and startups, which eventually led her to bootstrap Red Arrow Media without investors or mentor support in 2012. The team produced its first bestseller just two years in, Keep Your Love On!, in 2014, which has since has been translated and distributed in 17+ nations. Other notable titles include Choose Zoe: A Story of UnPlanned Parenthood and the Case for Life and the Breath of Life Series in partnership with UnveilMomentum Studios.

Dianne Hawkins
- Executive Coach -
Dianne began training as a young teen within her family’s business, learning the ropes about the “bottom line,” the importance of customer service and possessing a strong work ethic. If truth be known, it was for the sake of earning her very own horse! As an adult employee in the private sector, she found herself promoted to management early on in her career. In her role of Operations Manager and Campus Director of a private college, she developed programs and curriculum, and spearheaded the college’s growth from a “back to work computer retraining centre” to a registered, private post-secondary institution with 10 full-time programs coordinated and overseen under her direction.
Twelve years later, looking for another challenge, she took on the role of President & CEO of a local Chamber of Commerce and led the Chamber’s growth and vibrancy in the community. The Chamber grew from 500 - 750 members, and she has since (along with her team) implemented membership programs, advocacy platforms and increased the profile of the Chamber considerably.
Dianne’s mastery of administration, softened by her nuanced personal approach, asserts value and fruitfulness to the projects she is responsible for. Her practical and professional approach meets her confidence and joi-de-vivre in a brilliantly unexpected way, making her an adept asset in the field or the boardroom.

Jennifer Bell
- Freelance Ghostwriter & Content Creator -
Jennifer developed her love for words at an early age, and is a firm believer that reading is one of the greatest gifts you can give to others and yourself. As such, she believes crafting good books for all ages is a noble endeavor.
During her academic career at Missouri State University, she received both University and State awards for excellence in teaching and creative writing and graduated Suma Cum Laud with a degree in English.

She spends her free time fighting a losing battle with the deer and weeds in her gardens and entertaining her children with an ongoing novel about their precocious barn cats.
