Tim Callahan

At a Glance:

Tim Callahan is an author and award winning journalist. A Vermont native, he now lives in Pawleys Island, S.C. In 2010, he started a local monthly print newspaper called the Murrells Inlet Messenger (www.murrellsinletmessenger.com). Callahan won four out of the nine South Carolina Press Association awards offered associate members in 2010. He took first place for best editorial and first, second and third place for best feature story. In 2011, he won four more awards, including third place for best newspaper publication.

His fifth book was published in September 2011, "Murrells Inlet: Memories, Memoirs and Miracles." (See the works page to order.) The book won first place from the SCPA for best innovative concept.

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 a baseball fanatic - go Red Sox - and reads 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 finished a novel on the media and government. It will entertain as well as teach journalism ethics and Christian apologetics. If you would like to know when it comes out and where you can get it, please email me.


Note: 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. It is not me.

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