Every adoption story matters—and this book helps tell them. As we prepare to launch the third volume of The Chosen Collection, we’re gathering a team of readers who believe in the beauty of belonging and want to help these stories reach the families who need them most.
The anthology's overall theme is a celebration of adoption through the lens of Christ’s hope — a collection of real stories, imaginative fiction, and heartfelt poetry that show how God weaves families together in tender, surprising, and deeply redemptive ways.
Featuring K.Ann, Rebekah Allgood, Ali Aquene, Catherine Cruz, Willow Hoffer, Brooke Jacqueline, Jaycee Nosreip, & Ann Weaver

Dear Reader,
Imagine a world where bookshelves are filled with stories that fortify your heart instead of staining your mind.
How We Started
In the summer of 2023, a teenage girl was struck with an idea. She wanted to put together an anthology with stories by young writers.
Erin Hylands was sixteen at the time. She’d always wanted to use her writing to bring glory to God—and an anthology was an opportunity to do just that. Plus, she’d be able to partner with and support other young writers. What could go wrong?

“I published for the first time in the Between the Lines poetry anthology with Skillful Pen Press. They were amazing at advertising our book with title reveals, cover reveals, and so much more! I really enjoyed publishing with them because as I was publishing for the first time I didn't know much about the process but they really explained it well and made the process really fun and easy. If you want to publish, use Skillful Pen Press!”
