NASHVILLE (November 5, 2026) — HarperCollins Christian Publishing today announced that Caitlyn Carlson will join HarperChristian Resources (HCR), the leading Bible study and curriculum imprint, as Senior Acquisitions Editor, effective November 16. Carlson joins from NavPress, where she was Senior Acquisitions Editor for Bible studies and ministry resources.
“I’m thrilled to be joining HarperChristian Resources. Bible studies and curriculum create a unique and powerful space for people to encounter God and grow together in community, and I’m grateful to be linking arms with this team to equip the church with these transformative resources,” said Carlson.
Carlson brings nearly two decades of Christian publishing experience, including more than a decade in acquisitions. At NavPress, she expanded the bestselling LifeChange Bible study series and developed new series with Kat Armstrong (Storyline Bible Studies), Glenn Packiam and Rockharbor Church (the forthcoming Encounter Bible Studies), and Marty Solomon and the BEMA Podcast team (the forthcoming Ask Better Questions Bible Studies).
