Writing hope-fueled stories for young readers—
so they know their own stories matter.
Hi! I’m Tessa.
I’m so glad you’re here! =)
I am an author of fiction & non-fiction books that help young readers feel seen, loved, and understood.
For years, many readers knew me as Tessa Emily Hall, writing books for teen girls that encouraged them to fall deeper in love with Christ. That mission is still very close to my heart!
But in this new season, I am expanding that vision—creating stories for younger readers as well.
Because every child + teen deserves stories that…
Reflect their authentic perspective (without talking down to them)
Honor their voice
Offer hope + comfort
Feature characters that feel like friends
Provide a safe escape
And gently point them toward God’s love
No matter the genre—fiction or nonfiction, picture books or devotionals—my purpose remains the same:
to offer young readers a place where they feel seen, loved, + understood.

Honesty time.
Have you ever…
Wished you could look like someone else or have a different personality?
Kept yourself hidden because you were afraid of rejection or humiliation?
Believed you lack gifts and the potential to further God’s kingdom?
If so, I can relate.
I spent way too many years as a teenager resenting the way God created me.
It wasn’t until I fell more in love with Christ that I finally released my fear of people.
And it wasn’t until I gained confidence in this God-given identity that I was no longer ashamed to further His kingdom.
I wrote this teenage girl devotional journal for those who deal with the same struggles that I once did.
You don’t need to allow your crippling insecurities to paralyze you any longer.
Instead, you can find confidence in your God-given identity & rise up to pursue the calling that you alone can fulfill.
Love Your Selfie gives you the guidance you need to love yourself
from the inside out.
