Deborah Levine Herman is a gifted spiritual teacher who believes we are here to raise the vibration of others and to live with love, authenticity, and, most of all, hope.

She is the author of Spiritual Writing from Inspiration to Publication 2nd Edition. Through this timely book, Deborah helps writers discover their spiritual writing path. Her book helps spiritual writers answer the question: which kind of spiritual writer are you?

As a mystic, Deborah combines the spiritual journey with the writer’s path. She teaches that the act of writing connects people with their higher selves, and therefore the Source.

Deborah is a former literary agent with a top agency, a publisher, and an intuitive writing coach. She is also the bestselling author of thirteen books and has dedicated her 25-plus year career in publishing to writer education.

Her mission is to guide and encourage others to answer their call to write while teaching them to navigate the path to publishing.
