edit data

Tekoa Manning is an award-winning author, illustrator, and the founder of Manning the Gate LLC, a small press dedicated to stories that awaken wonder, deepen faith, and celebrate the human spirit. With a voice both tender and bold, Tekoa writes across genres—from whimsical children’s tales to thought-provoking fiction and theological exegesis. Her work is shaped by personal triumph over chronic illness, a passion for storytelling, and an unshakable belief that healing begins when we learn to love ourselves. Whether she’s crafting allegories or amplifying unheard voices, Manning invites readers to see beauty in brokenness and courage in every step.

“Writing to heal the heart, awaken the spirit, and unmask the unseen.”
