“I can’t say enough about my friend and editor, Stephanie Gunning. Where do I begin? She has been my editor during the writing of two books. I couldn’t have written them without her expertise, wisdom, and vision. During the writing of my first book, But I Love Him, Stephanie was solely responsible for turning me from a good writer to an author. She was as enthusiastic about the topic as I was and not only shared her views about the ways in which we could make the book even better, but because of her former editing experience at a large publishing house, she also shared what ‘worked.’ This knowledge was invaluable and the result was a manuscript that needed little editing from my senior editor at HarperCollins.

“Throughout the writing of my second book, Destructive Relationships, Stephanie was just as helpful. Since we knew each other so well at the time, the process was very quick and so much fun that I hated to see it end! When my senior editor at Jodere Group read the manuscript, he said that he had never seen such a well put-together book. I credit Stephanie for that comment.

“Not only would I refer any author to Stephanie, I plan to use her expertise again myself. My pet name for her is ‘The Chief,’ and to me, she truly is.”

—Dr. Jill Murray, author of But I Love Him and Destructive Relationships

Stephanie was so wonderful that after I was given only 3 months to write the book, I was told I had to 'edit it myself.' Well, you better believe I called her to help me edit it. She is VERY gifted at what she does.”

—Sheri Sanders, author of Rock the Audition

“I cannot over state the impact Stephanie Gunning has had on my writing of both my first book proposal and my first manuscript. Like a ship lost in a stormy sea, I needed a beacon, and Stephanie appeared like a brightly beaming lighthouse to guide me safely and sanely to shore. With enthusiasm and indispensable instruction, she helped me in the formative stages to get unstuck, hone my focus, and believe in myself. She held my hand through the writing process (from 3,000 miles away) with insightful edits, invaluable input, imminent patience, and judicious whip cracking. I was inspired to do more and do better given the example Stephanie sets herself, as a truth-seeker, meticulous writer, engaging speaker, progressive publishing expert, and savvy social media maven. Her commitment to getting it right and getting it done pulled me forward through painful resistance. She held my hand, kicked my ass, talked me off the ledge, raised the bar, made me look good, orchestrated chaos, played idea pinball, and above all, persevered. I am indebted to Stephanie and in awe of the miracle of her divinely ordered presence on my professional path.”
