about the coach

Issabelle Perry is a proud Jesus follower, an extroverted novelist, and a history major. When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, jamming to Skillet, hunting for Narnia in wardrobes, or envisioning herself wielding a magnificent sword (but due to her clumsiness, let’s hope that never happens). This self-proclaimed exclamation mark enthusiast can be found hanging at Teen Writers’ Nook, a community of teen authors Issabelle co-founded in 2020. She is the author of Don’t Let Me Go (Sky’s the Limit Press 2025), May We Make Them Proud (2023), and Into the Lamp (releasing 2025 under her pen name, D.B. Rayne). What she’s probably doing right now is fangirling about her favorite books to random people or scanning the pantries for chocolate.
