  • Margaret Dean

    Maggie Dean is a DC native fond of poetry, art, music, and prayer. After working in education for nine years, she currently works as a founder/writer/editor at Thy Name Publishing. Some years ago, Maggie found herself avidly writing through an immersive prayer journey. These prayers seemed to have morphed into poetry, ever to her surprise. Her hope is that the things she writes will evoke unique experiences of God in the hearts of those who read them. She prays and believes that the Holy Spirit will continue to create beauty in her work for others—she’s an avid believer that creative works give birth to new creative works. In reading her work, may you find yourself in the midst of making new creations as well!
