Michael J. Klassen unintentionally launched his freelance writing career in 1997, when he ghostwrote a book that became a national bestseller while pastoring a small rural church in Iowa.

In 2013, Michael J. Klassen and his college roommate, formed The Michael Thomas Group. Their publishing company was built on Michael’s success as an author, editor, and ghostwriter (70+ traditionally released books) and his roommate’s success as a publisher (founder of a large indie publishing company). In 2015, they amicably parted ways to pursue different directions. Michael’s part of this entity became Illumify Media Global. That same year, after pastoring churches for nearly 30 years (and writing bestsellers in his spare time), he decided to focus on a new direction in his calling—publishing.

Well-written books cast the light of knowledge and understanding on their readers. You could say they “illuminate” their readers, hence the name “Illumify.” Because Michael’s vision for reaching audiences go beyond printed books in North America, he added “Media Global” to the company name. 

Illumify Media focuses on four book categories: Nonfiction, Fiction, Children’s, and Faith.
