Don Newman – Publisher
For more than 20 years, Don has walked alongside Christian authors, helping them bring the stories and teachings that God placed in their hearts to life. As Executive Director of Publishing at a major media group, Don helped build one of the leading platforms for Christian authors. Yet even in leadership, his heart remained that of a coach, encouraging and equipping authors, pastors and ministry leaders guiding them through their book ideas and dreams of becoming a published author.
That same passion continues today with Porchlight Publishing, where Don’s mission is simple: To create a home for Christian authors and their books.
