Who We Are
Hi there!
We’re the Birkelands, a family that believes deeply in the transformative power of words. Our journey together has continually evolved to meet the needs of our blossoming daughters and serve our community in the best way possible. Now, with the changing rhythms of our lives, we’ve stepped into an exhilarating new phase—we’re launching Let Your Light Shine Press, our family-run independent publishing company.
We believe in the power of stories and the written word to inspire, motivate, and instill a sense of wonder. Whether it’s a family embarking on a shared reading journey, a child exploring the magic of a beautifully illustrated tale, or a woman finding empowerment through insightful guidance, our books are designed to light the way.
We feel deeply in every individual’s capacity to achieve their dreams, and we’re committed to providing the tools to illuminate the path. At Let Your Light Shine Press, our goal is not just to publish books, but to create a beacon of inspiration, helping our readers to let their own light shine in their lives.
Stay Connected and Inspired!
HOW WE GOT HERE
Our Path to Publishing
From the kitchen to the classroom, our journey is as varied as it is vibrant. As parents to two daughters who are blooming into their unique selves, we’ve woven our experiences from homeschooling, vegan cooking programs for kids, and soul-nourishing experiences for families and mothers into the tapestry of our publishing company. Let Your Light Shine Press is our heart poured out in words, our learnings bound in books.
Our journey in publishing isn’t just about producing books; it’s a deeply personal endeavor. It’s about crafting and sharing the tools that have helped our family navigate the many facets of life, grow together, thrive, and shine brightly in our unique light. We’re excited to share our heart, our experiences, and our discoveries with you.
