Lori Raupe is a #1 International Best-Selling Author, founder of The Butterfly Publishing Company, and a woman on a mission to help women of faith turn their hardest chapters into books that offer hope, healing, and legacy.
A retired business manager for the California Department of Corrections, Lori knows resilience firsthand. After losing her daughter Jenna at sixteen and later her home in the Cedar Fire, she discovered that sharing our stories isn’t just brave — it’s transformative.

She blends humor, heart, and straight talk to help writers break through fear, find their message, and put words on the page that change lives.
