Heather Hart

Christian Author

Heather Hart is an internationally best-selling and award-winning author with over fifty books in her portfolio.

Heather has also spoken to small groups in person and to thousands through podcasts, radio shows, and other online events.

As the founder of Candidly Christian, Heather started a movement to encourage women to be open and honest about the struggles they face in their everyday lives.

  • Thank you for your devotions that I receive on the other side of the world in Sydney, Australia. I look forward to them and use them as part of my daily time with God.

Letter of Reference

Heather has been a God send for me, both for my ministry and my author training website. She is prompt and always delivers high quality work.

Heather helped author, edit and format the book, “Teen Devotionals…for Girls!” and did an amazing job. She is a quick learner and a competent writer. These devotionals have been very popular on our website and have had many great reviews.

She also helped with another project, “Frazzled No More: 30 Days to Finding Christ’s Peace for Your Soul” where she helped re-write, edit and format the devotionals. Another great job by Heather that is now blessing many!

She has also helped do research for me for self publishing interviews and does an incredible job gathering detail and delivering just what I expect.

I highly recommend Heather for any writing or editing projects you may have!
