Welcome to the World of Author Carrie Gibson

Hi, I’m Carrie Gibson — writer, maker, and lifelong learner.

I’ve always believed that good ideas are meant to be shared — not hidden away in notebooks or “someday” folders. Whether I’m writing about faith, time, money, or the nuts and bolts of publishing, my goal is the same: to help people live with purpose, work with excellence, and create something that matters.

My journey has been anything but one-dimensional. I’ve worked behind the scenes in printing and prepress, taught others how to write and publish their own books, and explored how technology (yes, even AI!) can be used ethically and creatively to make our work stronger, not shallower.

Along the way, I’ve discovered that faith and function go hand in hand — that spiritual truths can shape how we plan our days, manage our finances, and even promote our books. It’s all connected.

Here, you’ll find books that mix practical advice with timeless wisdom: from standing firm on God’s promises, to building systems that protect your time, to understanding how a press file becomes a printed book.

If you love learning new things, organizing your thoughts, and chasing excellence without losing your soul — we’ll get along just fine.

So grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile. Let’s talk about faith, focus, and the fine print of turning ideas into impact.
