Welcome to Tin Bird Publications and Author Services!

"Why Tin Bird?" you may ask. Well, Tin Bird Publications and Author Services is the brainchild of author Karen E. Hoover, was named for her children, and established in their honor. Karen believes that books are a world unto themselves and wants to share them with everyone--especially children--and Tin Bird reminds her of the wonder books give to their readers.

Please--peruse the site and take what you will, whether it be a writing tip, lesson, or the hiring of us to fill your self-publishing needs. We are easy to work with and happy to help bring more words to the world.

What People Are Saying:

" Thanks! I really like your editing style--you make things make sense. It wasn't a complete rewrite that took away my voice. You simply took what I had to say and helped me make it better"

~Jessica Foster, Utah~

"Karen's class at the LDStorymakers Conference was one of the best. She gave me specifics on character building that helped me a great deal in my writing. I'd love to attend any of her classes because they have real "meat" to them."

~Fay Klingler, author of "A Woman's Power"~

"I love writing and I think I am pretty good at it, but I have a long way to go. I've taken workshops, read books, and emailed other writers for help. I always found good advice, but none of the advice quite had what I needed. My writing and skills as a writer never got the one on one coaching that they needed. Enter Karen E. Hoover.

Having Karen as a mentor has been one of the best things for me. She has pushed me further than I can push myself. Karen has also helped me believe even more in my own skills. she has let me explore my skills and ideas while giving valuable feedback and insight. She has helped me think story ideas and writing processes through. Even if the feedback was something that I might not want to hear, Karen shared it in a way that helped me grow.

If you want a mentor, Karen is the best choice. She is a very talented writer, but she is blessed to be an excellent teacher. That is a combination you don't always find in a mentor."

~Ted Finch, Maryland~

"I have worked with Karen Hoover Professionally for the last couple of years, and have found her very knowledgeable. She has helped me format for e-book, an area in which I am totally clueless and I knew I was in good hands. She took something that made me a little nervous and made it completely painless. I highly recommend Karen and her services."

~Tristi Pinkston, author and editor~

"I attended a writing class of Karen's a couple of years ago, during a conference. Her words touched me in a way not many authors words have. She gave me the confidence I needed to embrace my own style of writing and be who I am.

Karen is one of those rare people who is honest about what you need to do to help your writing, while making you feel that you have the talent and ability to follow through!"

~Rebecca Blevins, Missouri~

"Writing and publishing a novel is a huge undertaking as any writer knows. I recently published my first novel. That is a dream come true and a life goal achieved.

Getting my novel published was made possible because of the assistance I received from Karen E. Hoover. Her patience and perseverance was exactly what was needed to take my novel from a manuscript in a notebook to an actual published work. She worked hard for me and was always willing to listen and she delivered excellent service in getting my work to the e-book and printed page."

~Cedric Goudy, author of "The Governor's daughter".~

"Karen became one of my new favorite people at the LDStorymakers Conference. Not only is she loving, outgoing, and a shining star, she is also talented, determined and successful and has brought a whole new meaning to the self publishing industry. Because of her, many will be able to hold that title with pride.

P.S. My daughter is a true believer that her book, The Sapphire Flute is better than twilight, and for that I am a fan of hers forever. No more vampire posters on my ten-year-old's wall. YAY! She is cured."

~Natalie Bushnell, Utah~

"Karen is painstaking, thorough, and will go the extra mile for you. I have two books (and e-books) that--thanks to her--are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside."

~Cheri Chesley, Indie Author
