Speaking

When Hallee Bridgeman is not writing bestselling Christian romances and romantic suspense novels, she is a wife to Gregg and the mother of 3 children. Hallee and Gregg have spent years studying marriage and parenting, attending workshops, conferences, and filling their home library with Biblically-based material in order to better equip themselves in the mantle of Titus 2 mentorship and teaching.

Before launching her writing career, Hallee spent years blogging and mentoring Christian women in the art of homemaking, the joy of loving and respecting your husband, and in the raising of a Godly family at her website Hallee the Homemaker. Now she travels the world, speaking to women’s groups on those same topics that are so dear to her heart.

Hallee’s oldest daughter is a student at the University of Kentucky. Her middle son struggles as a hexagonal “autism spectrum” peg in this round world, and her youngest son fills the house with wooshes and bangs as he fights the imaginary bad guys while wearing a Spider Man costume and wielding a Ninja sword.

Hallee is available and would love to come to speak to your book club, women’s group, church group, conference, or other event.  She pulls from a variety of topics, including:

• her writing testimony
• writing Christian romance and suspense novels
• marriage
• being a military spouse in a time of war
• parenting
• parenting autism
• living a Godly life in a secular world
• cooking with whole foods
• brokenness

Hallee also speaks to writing groups worldwide. Popular topics include:

• Be The 10%
  Agents and editors say that 80%-90% of the submissions they receive aren’t even able to be edited to the point of publication. If you consider that the “best” an author has to submit is what is sent to agents and editors, and that each author believes his or her work is worthy of publication and that a contract is going to result from that submission, then it’s fair to assume that 80%-90% of all self-published books probably weren’t ready for publication. Hallee teaches authors to “Be the 10%”.
• Building Metadata in Ebooks (co-taught with my husband Gregg)
