Meet Carley
Personal Profile
Carley is a long-time creative and has a heart for God-Honoring stories. Her creative endeavors started in high school as she served on her school's yearbook staff, designing and editing yearbook pages. When she entered college, Carley knew she wanted to pursue a creative degree and earned a BFA in Interactive Media & Marketing. She considers herself a hybrid creator as she has a love for both visual design and traditional storytelling. Currently, she is pursuing a Doctorate in English at Liberty University and hopes to use the knowledge she gains from this degree to advance the Christian publishing realm even further - whether that be through editing, publishing, or creative design.
After years of working with ministries, non-profits, businesses, and even her personal publications, Carley saw a major need in the Christian writing community to produce professional design that highlighted both the author's unique persona and their written stories. Thus, Eternity was birthed! Her goal is to come alongside Christian authors, from their debut novel to their 45th book, and help them advance God's Kingdom through storytelling.
