"Stephanie Gunning expanded my brain! There are so many facets to book publishing and writing, and she illuminated some of the process's darkest corners, leading me with enthusiasm to become the author I dreamed of being. My book is a much different and better product because of Stephanie, and I had the most fun working with her on it. I can only give the highest recommendation for Stephanie: Hire her! Now!"

"Stephanie's insight and knowledge about the publishing industry is priceless. Her eye and editing skills are oustanding and a great asset to those looking to honor their work in the most professional way."

"My experience of working with Stephanie has been nothing short of transformational in creating a work that I am truly excited by and proud to share in the world. Because of her commitment to bring important bodies of work into the world, she also has been key in crafting a provocative and compelling book proposal. This is a step that many stop short of because of the number of nuances that are required. Stephanie expertly guided me through this process and made it easy for me to approach literary agents and publishers with this important tool to getting my book out into the marketplace. I highly recommend Stephanie Gunning as your book consultant and editor! She truly cares."

"I spent years writing my book and worked with more than one editor who did a fine job of cleaning up my prose. However it wasn't until I began working one-on-one with Stephanie Gunning that I made REAL progress. Stephanie is a highly skilled editor, a writing coach like no other, and a clear thinker with tremendous depth and spiritual maturity. She was able to help me communicate subtle nuance and the ineffable to take my memoir well beyond my own skills without losing its authenticity. She is a seasoned advisor, excellent writing coach, and talented writer who knows her way around the publishing world like no one else out there. Unfortunately there is only one Stephanie. You will be honored and in good hands if she chooses to work with you."

"Stephanie is a professional of the highest order. She took the time to get to know me and learn my Betterness® system for life enhancement. As a result she really nailed it. She helped me write an incredible book proposal and has supported me over and above the call of duty. I really appreciate all that she has done for me. If you want to write a book, you need a professional proposal. I could not have done this alone. If you need a publishing insider, Stephanie is the one to talk to."

"Dear Stephanie, I've got a great story for you. As you know I found an agent for my book proposal. When we first met she showered me with compliments equally divided between the book and the proposal. I, of course, credited you as the guiding force. In due course she presented the proposal to the publisher of Vendome Press who also raved about the proposal. When we had our first meeting about moving ahead with the book he started off by saying, and I quote, 'In thirty years of publishing this is the most thorough, polished, professional proposal I have ever seen.' I told him that my mentor/consultant deserved all the credit and that I could show him the whip marks on my lazy back. Thanks so much for bringing out the absolute best in my book idea and me. Thank you for pushing me to create something better than I could have even imagined doing on my own. I will be dedicating the book to my girlfriend, agent, and you. Many, many thanks for a wonderful creative experience."

"Stephanie has a deep understanding of the world of publishing and what makes a book sell. She provided me with a great deal of information and insight into the process of proposing a book for publication, which, as a first time author, I found daunting and unfamiliar. She helped me put my ideas into an impressive format and offered additional marketing and promotion ideas and techniques to help my platform stand out. She also helped me identify next steps, to continue the momentum of my project. She was a huge help!"

"I know Stephanie from our days together at HarperCollins Publishing in the Adult Trade Division, where she began establishing her reputation as someone with a keen eye for what readers are looking for and will be looking for in the years to come. She has always been on top of the market and able to foresee trends, so it's no surprise that she's shaped many bestsellers, bringing them from great ideas to highly engaging and influential books that stand out in their genre. I'm consistently amazed by her insights into the market, the writing and editorial processes, and the ingredients of a great book that stands the test of time."
