SARAH REID - Managing Director

Sarah brings twenty years of experience as an entrepreneur with fourteen years in private education. She received her Bachelor's in Organizational Management from Ashford University and her Master's in Writing from Johns Hopkins University. As a business owner and former homeschool mom, publishing creative curriculum is her addiction and private education is her dream. With Innovative Learning Press, she can have both. Sarah is the author of the 180 Days curriculum and founder of the Kids Write Novels program. 

Hannah has always loved the art of storytelling. Now, she gets to teach the next generation of authors as a middle-grade fiction instructor for Innovative Learning Press. Hannah joins our team from the prestigious Author Conservatory with experience and training in fiction writing and marketing. When she isn’t teaching, Hannah can be found jotting down new story ideas and plugging away at her latest middle grade novel.

Esther Pipkin graduated from The Author Conservatory with a certification in creative writing and publishing, and a certification in business and entrepreneurship. She teaches the elementary courses and is thrilled to be a part of raising the next generation of storytellers. When Esther isn’t off writing YA fantasy or teaching, you might find her baking snickerdoodles, singing show tunes, or going on adventures (like visiting bookstores) with her husband.

Emma is fulfilling her dream of being an English instructor with Innovative Learning Press. She has a BA in English from Maryville University and will serve as an assistant instructor for all classes. Emma is the lead instructor for our newest course, flash fiction. Her happy place is curled up with a good cup of coffee and a book.
