Polished Prose to Professional Publishing

I coach authors to craft a compelling manuscript that will attract readers and please an audience. Above all, I tailor my editing services to meet the author’s goals.

Furthermore, I teach authors all the facets of publishing, so they have the tools to accomplish their goals in a professional and successful manner.

"If you're looking for an editor who will maintain your voice and enhance your writing, Stacey is your girl!"

"Stacey helped with the chapter to becoming an author."

"She is the only person I've used who delves so deeply into the minds of my characters, she makes ME think they're alive."

"Stacey added considerable punch to the manuscript."

"Thank you, Stacey!"

"Stacey worked diligently to take my writing and hone it into something that actually looks professional."

"Stacey has gone above and beyond to put this book into my readers' hands."

"Without question, Stacey is a seasoned expert."

"Stacey helped bring this crime fighting duo to life."

"Stacey and I formed a relationship of trust, respect, and enthusiasm. She carried me through difficult times, while I contemplated drinking wine daily."

"She took an incredibly green, first-time author and made each and every step easy and achievable."

"Stacey cleaned up the loose ends and remained patient with me."

"Stacey was a gift from God, who went way beyond editing."

"Stacey lit the flame. Thank you for pushing me, encouraging me, and laughing with me."

"Stacey helped me fulfill my dream of publishing."

"I can't imagine working with anyone else."

"Stacey made the process fun, easy, and comfortable."

"Stacey made me feel as though my book was the most important item on her plate."

"Stacey made a very complex process seem quite easy."

"Stacey is more than an editor, she is a writing coach."

"Stacey is experienced, savvy, knowledgeable, and so kind and caring every step of the way."

"Stacey made my book a reality."

"She is creatively gifted, fastidiously detail oriented and managed me, as a client, with great care and empathy."

"It takes a talented editor, like Stacey, to tell the author when a story needs to be tightened up so the reader will not lose interest."

"Stacey provided invaluable guidance on the road to publication."

"Stacey is amazing and easy to work with on stories."

"Thank you, Stacey, for your patience, professional direction, and encouragement."

"Stacey walked me through the byzantine publishing process with patience, expertise, and never-failing good cheer. Bravo!"

"Great work that added professionalism."

"Stacey is my rock and my guiding star."

"She was extremely engaged and attentive to my questions and concerns through the whole process."

"Thank you, for your hard work, Stacey."

"Stacey made this dreaded process painless and fun. She's the best!"

This lady has skill. I deeply appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone who is considering publishing.

These last three months have been a ride for not just myself but my poor family. William picked me up from the conference and gave me a great gift. The gift of time in my helmet!!! Tonight I got to sit at the feet of a man that I believe is capable of magic and he taught me the importance of seeing it. He is forever my friend His words just might end up emblazoned on my heart forever.
“I will fix it and I won’t let you fall.”
James you are Peter Pan.

Authors, let’s get to work!

These boys got into a lot of trouble, but we always love a good antihero, don`t we?
We are all influenced by our past; it shapes how we work in the present and plan for the future.
