Hey, i'M aMBER OLAFSSON - FOUNDer AND PUBLISHER
Amber Olafsson is the founder and dreamer behind United House Publishing—a company she started after publishing her first book and realizing, “Wait, more people need help doing this!” Ten books later, she’s still passionate about guiding Christian authors from idea to impact with clarity, confidence, and Holy Spirit fire. Amber is a Kingdom entrepreneur, author, speaker, and storyteller fueled by Jesus and just the right amount of coffee. Together with her husband, she co-founded United House Ministries and Allegiance Coffee company. They live in the greater Charlotte, NC area with their three world-changing kids, an ever-growing list of farm animals, a whole lot of grace, and probably something in the crockpot. When she’s not helping others tell their stories, you’ll find her on the back patio with a good book and a strong cup of coffee. Check out her bestselling book, I’ll Say Yes, and follow her real life (and reels) on Instagram @amberolafsson—where faith, family, and publishing collide with a good dose of coffee and calling.

Blandit cursus risus at ultrices mi tempus imperdiet nulla malesuada. Odio ut sem nu pharetra diam sit. Morbi tristique senectus et netus et. Euismod lacinia at quis risus. Hendrerit dolor magna eget est. Ultricies lacus sed turpis tincidunt id aliquet risus feugiat. Scelerisque eu ultrices vitae auctor.
