Meet Our Team

Mandy Crow is the founder and primary writer at The Bookery. A public relations professional and writer/editor living in Nashville, Mandy enjoys music, coffee shops, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, and the three pillars of The Bookery’s content: the Bible, books and baking. In early 2021, after a deep disappointment about a job she didn’t get, Mandy was praying about a desire she felt to write devotions and encourage others to read Scripture. Suddenly, God reminded her of an idea for a bakery/bookstore she’d always dreamed of opening: The Bookery. Realizing that The Bookery didn’t have to have a physical location, Mandy began writing a few Bible reading plans and launched the online community in late 2021.
