A voracious reader practically from birth, Heather Adams can’t believe her good fortune to work where she can combine two passions: reading and public relations. Many a photo from childhood has her nose peeking out over a good Nancy Drew novel or Judy Blume classic. Bulldogs adorn her office, as she is an avid supporter and graduate of The University of Georgia – the fact they boast one of the top journalism schools in the country is always a plus. Fall weekends she’s easy to locate – whenever her coveted Dawgs are playing in Athens (God’s country), she’s decked out in red and black and playing hostess to her tailgating companions (with silver and crystal, of course).
Adams joined the Thomas Nelson team in August 2003, when she married a Nashville boy and he drug her away from her native Atlanta. She currently serves as the Director of Publicity. With experience in launching more than twenty New York Times best selling books, Heather has been privileged to work on projects by luminaries including Max Lucado, Marcus Buckingham, Billy Graham, John Eldredge, John Maxwell, John MacArthur (Yes, she almost always requires her author’s name is John), Robin McGraw, Charles Stanley, and Anne Graham Lotz.
She is a member of the Public Relations Society of America, the Entertainment Publicists Professional Society, the Publishers Publicity Association and the Association of American Publishers. A big fan of giving back to your community, Adams is involved with the Junior League of Nashville and the Nashville Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi, where she serves as the Chapter Advisor at Middle Tennessee State University (and lives out her youth vicariously through her girls). She was recently selected as a member of the 2008-09 Leadership Rutherford class.
Heather is married to Matthew Adams and has a son, Dixon Elam. She claims her biggest accomplishment is that Dixon can say “thank you” and “please” at one-year-old! They reside in Murfreesboro, TN.
