Eleven O'clock means "I love you"...
It all started as a dream in a little girl's heart.
When our founder, Whitni Kostboth, was just a child, she fell in love with writing and dreamed of being a published author and using her income to help others.
It wasn't until she grew up and married her prince charming that she finally published her first picture book. With a newborn and a world-gone-crazy in 2020, she put aside her dreams and packed up her books assuming that would be her first and final published book.
But God had other plans. Whitni kept writing the words that seemed to reside inside of her, though she still doubted she'd publish again, until her book, 'Knit', was born.
The story poured out of her, and her dreams were renewed with a fresh vision to impact little lives with lasting messages of truth and love.
Her vision expanded as she decided to donate proceeds directly, as opposed to her childhood dream of making lots of money then being generous.
Now when customers make a purchase they can know where their money is being donated every time they make a purchase.
Eleven o'clock means "I love you" in Whitni's family, and Eleven O'clock Stories was founded to share that love with the world.

About the Author
Whitni (Baker) Kostboth
The sole author and founder of Eleven O'clock Stories, Whitni spends most of her time with her 2 adorable daughters. She is blessed to be a stay-at-home mom where she gets to hear all the giggles, kiss all the boo-boos, and read all the stories to her girls.
Whitni married her better half, Cory, in 2019 and is humbled by his continued support of her writing and publishing.
Projects take a bit longer for Whitni as she strives to prioritize God and family before work.
All of her books are written to leave a lasting, positive impact on readers. Many of them are also used to raise funds for causes close to her heart.
