Haley Stewart is a Catholic convert, speaker, and writer. She sometimes leads pilgrimages and always needs more bookshelves. She is the Editor of Word on Fire Votive, a publishing imprint for young readers, and the host of The Votive Podcast.

Haley is the award-winning author of The Sister Seraphina Mysteries and The Catholic Kids’ Cookbook. She writes a popular Substack newsletter and lives in Florida with her four children, an enormous dog named Samwise, and a grumpy cat named Lillian, but (as far as they know) no mice under the floorboards.

Her family lived on a farm for a year, and she wrote a book about it (for grown-ups) titled The Grace of Enough: Pursuing Less and Living More in a Throwaway Culture. She is also the author of Jane Austen’s Genius Guide to Life and the editor of Women of the Catholic Imagination. She has contributed to Evangelization & Culture, Plough, Mere Orthodoxy, the University of Notre Dame’s Church Life Journal, Public Discourse, and America.
