About Us

Teresa Granberry, Harvest Creek president, has always loved books. Even as a young child, daily visits to the local library after school were her top priority. She feels fortunate to now fully dedicate her career to books.

She enjoys stepping into the main character’s shoes and experiencing the stories she reads. Her annual reading list spans a wide range of subjects and genres. It’s not uncommon to find a large stack of fiction and non-fiction books near her desk or on her nightstand.

For over a decade, Teresa has assisted many in realizing their dream of becoming a published author. Having written several books herself, she understands the challenges inherent in a project of this scale. As a public speaker and writing coach, she conducts workshops designed to help new authors reach their audience.

Before starting her own firm, Teresa designed book covers and edited manuscripts at a medium-sized Christian press. She has designed covers for over 150 books, with numerous Amazon bestsellers among them. She is a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA).

Copyrights and contracts fall under Samuel Granberry’s business oversight. He also helps our distribution program keep books moving through various retail channels and markets. Sam spent 20 years as a minister, then transitioned to a 25-year career as a financial advisor.

Sam, a seasoned public speaker, understands the significance and difficulty of conveying messages effectively and comprehensively. He’s ideally suited to the complexities of conservative Christian book publishing! His input for our authors is invaluable. Outside of work, he’s usually bass fishing at the nearest lake.

Donna Zagar joined the Harvest Creek team after a 28-year career in both public and private education. Having earned a Master of Science in Reading from the University of Houston Clear Lake, she taught for three years with a focus on reading comprehension. During her 17+ years in Texas public schools, she wrote detailed legal reports & evaluations as a certified Educational Diagnostician. Donna’s background also includes teaching and directing musicals in schools and churches.

She is a lifelong learner and an avid reader, and she’s thrilled to be working for a conservative Christian book publisher! Outside of work, Donna volunteers on the media team at Bridgepoint Fellowship Church in Bridge City, Texas. She also enjoys playing the piano, quilting, traveling, and spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren.
