PHYLLIS TICKLE, founding editor of the Religion Department of PUBLISHERS WEEKLY,
the international journal of the book industry, is frequently quoted in
sources like USA TODAY, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, NY TIMES, as well as
in electronic media like PBS, NPR, THE HALLMARK CHANNEL, etc., Tickle is
an authority on religion in America and a much sought after lecturer on
the subject.
In addition to lectures and numerous essays, articles, and interviews,
Tickle is the author of over two dozen books in religion and
spirituality, most notably the Divine Hours series of manuals for
observing fixed-hour prayer: The Divine Hours - Prayers for Summertime,
The Divine Hours - Prayers for Autumn and Wintertime, The Divine Hours -
Prayers for Springtime, Eastertide - Prayers for Lent Through Easter
from The Divine Hours, and Christmastide - Prayers for Advent through
Epiphany from The Divine Hours (Doubleday); The Night Offices from The

Tickle, who was with PUBLISHERS WEEKLY until her retirement in 2004,
began her career as a college teacher and, for almost ten years, served
as academic dean to the Memphis College of Art before entering full time
into writing and publishing. In September 1996 she received the Mays
Award, one of the book industry's most prestigious awards for lifetime
achievement in writing and publishing, and specifically in recognition
of her work in gaining mainstream media coverage of religion publishing.
In 2004, she received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters
from the Berkeley School of Divinity at Yale University, also in
recognition of her work. In 2007, she received a Lifetime Achievement
Award from The Christy Awards "In gratitude for a lifetime as an
advocate for fiction written to the glory of God."
Tickle is currently a Senior Fellow of Cathedral College of the
Washington National Cathedral. A founding member of The Canterbury
Roundtable, she serves now, as she has in the past, on a number of
advisory and corporate boards. A lay eucharistic minister and lector in
the Episcopal Church, she is the mother of seven children and, with her
physician-husband, makes her home on a small farm in Lucy, Tennessee.
