Laura DeNooyer

Laura DeNooyer thrives on creativity and encouraging it in others. She spotlights creatives of all kinds on her blog, Journey To Imagination, and highlights authors and their novels in her Standout Stories blog. A Calvin College graduate, Laura taught middle school and high school art for nine years in Milwaukee and later taught writing and literature to home schooled students. Between those two jobs, she and her husband, Tim, raised four children as she penned her first novel, All That Is Hidden—twice a semi-finalist for the Serious Writer Book of the Decade and winner of the Artisan Book Excellence Award. Active in her church, Laura is also president of the Wisconsin chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers. Her first book with Scrivenings Press, A Hundred Magical Reasons—winner of the Novel Starts contest—will be released in January, 2025. When not writing, you’ll find her reading, walking, drinking tea with friends, or taking a road trip. Visit Laura at lauradenooyer-author.com.
