Tim Callahan

At a Glance:

Tim Callahan is an award winning journalist and former author with Harper & Row. He lives in Pawleys Island, S.C. In 2010, he started a local monthly print newspaper called the Murrells Inlet Messenger (www.murrellsinletmessenger.com). In March, it was announced Callahan won four out of the nine South Carolina Press Association awards offered associate members. He took first place for best editorial and first, second and third place for best feature story.

His fifth book was published in September, "Murrells Inlet: Memories, Memoirs and Miracles." (See the works page to order.)

He won awards from the SCPA for beat reporting (courts) in 2006 and education, news and sports writing in 2007. He won two statewide journalism awards from the Pennsylvania Press Association, and was a Washington, D.C., correspondent for Christianity Today. He has a master's degree in journalism with an emphasis in religion writing from Regent University. He attended Denver Seminary. His books have been featured in articles by the New York Times, Associated Press and USA Today.

He is a member of the Authors Guild, Investigative Reporters and Editors, and Religion Newswriters Association.

A former college and semiprofessional baseball player, who appeared in Sports Illustrated and coached for MLB in Ireland, Callahan is still playing baseball as a hobby, and reading two novels a week to learn the ropes.

He is married. His wife, Debbie, is a constant supporter of his writing endeavors and biggest fan. Without her, there would be no books or papers.


Author's update:

I have also finished a novel on the media and government. It will entertain as well as teach journalism ethics and apologetics. It is currently making the rounds at publishing houses. I will let you know how that works out.


At this point in time, this web site's main goal is to let people know who this Tim Callahan is. Unfortunately for me, there is another Tim Callahan, an author who writes non-fiction religious prophesy books, that I have been mistaken for in publishing circles. Now you know who I am.

Thanks, reader. Without you, I am not a writer.
