Leigh says, “I’ve been a writer almost as long as I’ve been a reader and a Jesus-follower. And that’s a long time.”
Leigh worked her way through a journalism degree from Texas A&M University as a television news reporter, and after graduating went to work as an advertising copywriter. She wrote her first book in 1994 as a ghostwriter, and has been writing her own books and collaborating with other authors ever since.
The author of four solo books including Treasured and The Beautiful Ache, Leigh contributes weekly to her own blog/email called “Wednesday words,” and her writing has appeared in Discipleship Journal, Christian Single, Radiance, thehighcalling.org and ChristianityToday.com.
