Hi, I'm Zachary Holbrook. I'm a storyteller living in Middle Tennessee, where I write lighthearted fantasy novels and essays on beautiful things I find in life and literature. I started writing at age eight and for many years thought it would only be a hobby, but as I received encouragement from friends, family, and strangers, I saw my writing as a gift I could give to others. You can see how others have described my writing below... or, if you need no convincing, sign up for my email list. When you do, I'll send you a link to my short story 'The Besouler', about a persecuted healer willing to go to desperate lengths to save her brother's life.



​You'll see three types of emails from me:
​
1) brief updates on my novel works-in-progress
2) philosophical musings on daily life and how it all relates to Christ
3) short stories

Here's how others have described my writing, both fiction and non-fiction:

"A witty, God-honoring, and thought-provoking way of looking at ordinary things"
-Rose Q. Addams

"Dynamic and innovative. His stories are concise (in a good way) and often take common ideas and put a new twist on them... I've never not been surprised by a twist when reading his stories"
-Khylie Small

"Classic writer attempting modern high fantasy and succeeding"
-Marybeth Davis

"He pays attention to the details of reality often overlooked in fantasy, giving me as a reader a refreshing, immersive experience"
​-Elisha Gadbois

"Talented... and that's not just a platitude."
-Bishop John Greaves
