Who is Kelli Standish?



For years, Kelli has worked tirelessly behind the scenes promoting, helping, and supporting Christian authors through her work on Focus on Fiction and more recently through her Web design business, PulsePoint.

Having known Kelli for over four years, she continues to amaze me by her strength, love, and commitment.

What few know is that Kelli suffers from a back injury and is in need of urgent surgery.


To read her story, follow the links below from top to bottom.

As stated in Kelli’s last blog entry, Better to Give Than Receive, literary agent Janet Kobobel Grant, has started a huge fundraising drive to help Kelli get the surgery she desperately needs. Here is what Janet writes:

Word has come of an anonymous matching grant of $10,000 for all monies raised on Kelli's behalf by November 15. If you would like to contribute, you are welcome to send checks made out to me, Janet Grant, at my address. I will collect the monies, apply the matching grant and give Kelli one check.
