Creating Space for Your Story

⬇ Scroll to explore

 

Welcome! I’m a longtime lover of words, which has led to decades of experience in the Christian publishing industry as an editor, author, journalist, podcaster, and speaker in addition to my even more important roles as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, and aunt.

I love helping people discover what God is saying in and through them so that they bring those discoveries to life for others to read, hear, and experience. I am especially passionate about highlighting voices on the margins whose stories need to be told.

What People Are Saying

 

Some authors are good speakers, and some good speakers are good writers. But not all. Helen Lee is both a good writer and compelling speaker. Her timely, wise prose comes to expression in clear, compelling speaking that will lead us at times to say, "Did she just say what I think she said?" Yes, she did and we needed to hear it.

— Scot McKnight, Author and Scholar

Helen is a wonderfully thorough and effective communicator. She brings incredible research and perspective to her work; she is warm, engaging, and honestly one of the best speakers we have booked for our programs. I highly recommend Helen, her work, and her tremendous heart!

— Reverend Tracey Bianchi

I’ve known Helen for more than two decades. I’ve always been impressed with her insights and reflections. She is a great learner, observer,  and writer...
