BIO:
Deb Haggerty has been involved in Christian speaking and writing since 1995. She is well known in
the industry for her teaching at Christian writers’ conferences. Her seminars on communication,
networking, and grace are popular with conferences and church groups alike.
Deb took a hiatus from speaking when she was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Led to stay
home and care for her family, she soldiered through the death of her mother-in-law, her stepson,
and her mother. In 2014, she began a freelance editing business and also began editing for Elk Lake.
In 2015, the owner asked her to come on board as Vice President of Acquisitions and Management.
In 2016, Deb and her husband bought the assets of the company and incorporated.
Since purchasing Elk Lake Publishing ten years ago, the company has gained a reputation for
publishing positive books, encouraging new and experienced authors alike, and participating in the
education of upcoming writers. Deb’s mission is to come alongside the authors God brings to her to
ensure their work is produced in a positive and professional fashion. Her efforts have proven
successful as Elk Lake has grown from under fifty authors and fewer than one hundred books to
over three hundred authors and in excess of five hundred books. Elk Lake authors have won myriad
awards for their books.
Deb & her husband of over forty years, Roy, live just outside Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Beautiful
Boot Pond.
