Latest read: “When is the right time to hire an editor,” by our editor, Kim Foster
“I’m writing a book, and I’m not sure when I need to hire an editor. When is the right time?” This is a question I often hear from aspiring writers and authors, and when they ask, my mind begins to swirl with a myriad of possibilities. How do I respond? Well, it all depends.
Many people think you only hire an editor once the book is written. But an editor can get started when the writer does—in the ideation process—and work all the way to the final product. So there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—but there is an answer.

Featured author: Luissa Kiprono Bookversary, one year on February 14!
I love a good Bookversary, and client Dr. Luissa Kiprono deserves to be celebrated!
I had the honor of supporting Luissa on her powerful book, Push, Then Breathe: Trauma, Triumph, and the Making of an American Doctor. In it, she shares her journey from communist Romania to enduring years of abuse by her father to becoming a sought-after physician. Luissa’s heart and grit are evident in her author journey, and she has earned every bit of success she’s seen in the past year.
I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next. She’s a true inspiration!
Here’s what Luissa had to say about her author journey and our work together:
“2024: the year that was! Becoming a published author and Amazon bestseller marked an unforgettable milestone in my literary journey.
Now, one year later, I find myself reflecting on the accomplishments, embracing the lessons learned, and setting my sights on both short- and long-term goals.
Since last spring, when my book was introduced to the world, I’ve successfully navigated the intricate pathways of marketing. Highlights include hosting 14 book signing events, being featured on 41 podcasts, webinars, and media outlets, and delivering two keynote speeches—all while managing my full-time role in high-risk OB medical practice.
I’m deeply grateful to my incredible book coach, Stacy Ennis & Co. Without your guidance and support, this dream might never have become a reality.
Thank you for walking this journey with me.”
