Meet Stacy – She’s ready to guide you!
“I’m a former journalist with 20+ years of professional writing experience. I’m also the author of two nonfiction books and nine women’s fiction novels. For more than a decade, I penned a freelance parenting column for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and served for a few years as a community blogger for the Huff Post. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching adjunct writing classes at the University of Richmond and leading workshops at writing conferences nationwide. I truly enjoy helping writers find their voice and birth their writing goals, whether in book form, via blogging or simply through journaling for clarity and self-understanding. I’d love to work with you, too!” ~ Stacy

Feedback from Writer Students…
“I have several books waiting to be birthed, and Stacy helped push me along the path. Her teaching style was interactive and inspiring, and I find myself regularly drawing upon the notes from the class. It was a special privilege to take the class, because Stacy is also one of my favorite authors, so learning from someone for whom I have so much respect made it an even more enjoyable experience. I have since recommended this class to others to take.” ~ R. Creighton
“Stacy has a gift not only for writing and teaching, but guiding people to find their talents and fully utilize them for the enjoyment and benefit of all. I would highly recommend anyone to take Stacy’s course, or any type of course she teaches, as it will change your life… it has changed mine!” ~ C. Troiano
“She has the patience and professionalism to gently guide amateur authors on their path towards becoming published professionals. The world is a better, more creative place with Stacy in it.” ~ A. Taylor-White
“Stacy is very knowledgeable of the essential processes, it takes to become a traditional published author or self-published author. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and the abundance of resources offered by Stacy. Stacy’s personable coaching approach ignited my enthusiasm for completing my Ebook and confirming my commitment to a traditional published academic author!” ~ M. Collins-Brown
“Stacy has an uncannily perceptive knack for getting to the “wow factor” of the story, providing insights I didn’t initially see. I learned invaluable writing tools and tips, including “writing forward,” to a useful exercise for getting past any writing blocks. Stacy guided me through the logical structure for my book by asking in-depth questions and listening attentively. She is bull’s-eye accurate in getting to the heart of the story and clear about what belongs and where it fits.” ~ S. Heinbuch
