Leslee Stewart

Leslee Stewart has always preferred knowing a little bit about a lot of things rather than mastering only one thing. Her mom calls this being a “Compendium of Useless Information,” but she likes to think of it as being a somewhat interesting person, or at least a good contender as the phone-a-friend on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.”

A natural-born storyteller, Leslee began her career as a newspaper reporter. After leaving journalism she spent the next two decades leading communications for some of the best-known brands in the world, including Victoria’s Secret. Most recently, she has served as a pastoral leader in the local church overseeing ministries for women and young mothers. No one is more surprised than she is to have moved from the “world’s sexiest brand” to working in ministry. The Lord clearly works in mysterious ways.

In 2021, along with two author friends, Leslee co-founded The Unknown Authors Club, a boutique publishing agency designed to publish and celebrate some of the best authors you haven’t yet read. Together they are making publishing dreams come true, one unknown author at a time.

Leslee loves to encourage others through speaking engagements and her writing. And when she’s not doing one of those things, she can be found seated in the bleachers next to her husband, cheering on their two, sports-obsessed teenage sons. Her goals in life are simple—learning to master the perfect guacamole, getting her boys to appreciate musicals, and someday singing backup for Aretha Franklin in heaven.
