Meet Mona
Mona Hodgson writes her novels, children’s books, and nonfiction from her home in Arizona or in a coffee shop, in a mountain cabin or a creek-side guesthouse, in a window seat on a 737—yes, Mona will write anywhere she can. Why? Because she has experienced the power of the written and spoken word and cherishes the connection her words can create with readers.

Serving women, writers, educators, librarians, and students sits at the heart of Mona’s writing and speaking. Mona served as the Interim Director of the Mount Hermon Christian Writers’ Conference in California from 2014 to 2017 and as the Founding Director of the Glorieta Christian Writers’ Conference in New Mexico from 1997-2001. As a conference speaker, course instructor, and workshop leader, Mona continues to educate and encourage writers. And an Author Visit Day at a school or for a Homeschool Co-op is always a fun day.
