“Becoming an author is truly a dream come true that still feels surreal. I’m trying to figure out how to take it all in. Stacy, I keep referring people your way because you truly helped this book come together, from idea to reality. I’m forever grateful.”
The journey of authorhood has changed my life in so many ways that I could have never imagined! Since publishing my book, I've had some big media wins, like being featured on NASDAQ, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider. I was also invited to be a keynote speaker for my alma mater's graduation ceremony.
Business-wise, my speaking fee has quadrupled, and I've been able to transition my work to be seasonal instead of year-round, which gives me a better work-life balance. I am so thankful I had the support of Stacy Ennis and the team. None of this would have been possible without their support!
My journey as an author has been transformative for me, not just personally but professionally. Since the release of Dear White Leader, I’ve seen both the impact of the book and the growth of my business accelerate in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Being honored with the Silver Award for Best New Voice—Nonfiction by the Independent Book Publishers Association has been an affirming milestone. That recognition, and the doors it’s opened, would not have been possible without Stacy Ennis.
When I first started this journey, I knew I needed someone who could guide me, challenge me, and hold me accountable, and Stacy did exactly that. Her process, strategic insight, and steady encouragement helped me move from concept to completed manuscript.
Working with Stacy didn’t just result in a book—it helped expand my thought leadership, elevate my coaching and consulting work, and amplify my message in the world. I’m deeply grateful for her partnership and guidance throughout this journey.
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.
Becoming a best-selling author would not have happened without Stacy’s expertise, insight, and unwavering belief in me. She didn’t just help me write a book—she helped me bring my mission and message to life in a way that truly impacted others. From the very start, she brought clarity to my ideas, helped me shape a powerful promise to my readers, and kept me grounded in what mattered most.
When the inevitable self-doubt crept in—the voice that said, ‘No one will care about this,’ or ‘What’s the point?’—Stacy was the steady hand that pulled me through. She helped me shift my mindset, believe in my work, and show up every single time I sat down to write. She saw both the big picture and the small details, guiding me with brilliance, compassion, and a deep understanding of my purpose.
As a first-time author, I was starting from scratch. And Stacy met me there, exactly where I was, with nothing short of kindness and curiosity. She made it her purpose to encourage me to tell my story, and she’d be with me along the most important part of the journey. What I didn’t realize is she would spark confidence in my writing to get my story down on paper. She so thoughtfully and carefully held each chapter of my story, with lovingkindness, and felt my story. She challenged me to go deeper when I needed it and showed me how to write more descriptively. In the process, we developed trust and kinship.
Working with Stacy was truly a turning point in my author journey. From the very beginning, she helped me lay a solid foundation—everything from a clear outline to a thoughtful process and the support I needed to get moving. Her guidance gave me direction, but even more than that, she connected me to a powerful, encouraging author community that kept me accountable and inspired along the way.
The resources she shared, the people she introduced me to, and the space she created for honest, vulnerable storytelling all played a huge role in bringing my book to life. I genuinely believe Alchemy from Ashes is what it is today because of Stacy’s coaching, leadership, and heart. I’m deeply grateful.
Writing Calladita No More had a deep impact on me both personally and professionally. The process pushed me to reflect on my highs and lows and how I want to show up in the world. It was transformational, and I hope readers will feel that in the book.
Having the support of a skilled book coach was invaluable. It helped me clarify my vision, stay focused, and move forward with confidence. That guidance made publishing a book feel possible—and the journey itself deeply rewarding.
What also stands out is the sense of community I experienced. I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but the support and connection became one of the most meaningful parts of the process. I remain in Stacy's Author Influence Circle for that reason.
I'm grateful to Stacy for her partnership on Growing Influence, The Complete Leader, and Treasure Inside. Stacy, you have been wonderful to collaborate with, and your contributions have been vital. I admire your writing skills and the way you live your life, and I'm better because of knowing and working with you.
I’m so grateful that Stacy was my guide on this journey starting with only an idea and finishing with a manuscript. Stacy is brilliant! Her kindness belies the fact that she can challenge you and push you to be better than you even realize. I don’t think of myself as a structured person, and yet with Stacy’s help, I developed a repeatable process for creative time every day to allow me to efficiently and successfully create.

“Stacy Ennis, you are a literary dream come true. Having your eyes, heart, and expertise on this book for the past year made the experience absolutely incredible. Thank you for teaching me how to take my philosophy from my heart to the pages.”
If there is anything that I would like to contribute to future authors, it will be the amazing journey that I am embarking on right now. Ever since my book was published, I have finished my online course of helping others to “rebuild their confidence and reclaim their life.” I would not be able to do this without finishing my book. It gives me purpose and courage even though I haven’t done this before, but most of all, to have the opportunity to learn and grow. I want to thank you for this life- changing opportunity that led me to a meaningful purpose for my life.
Want to write a book? I did it and it was well worth it in more ways than you can imagine. Stacy Ennis can help you.
She is the best. She'll help make your dreams come true and really make your book come alive!
The book coaching Stacy did for my book LAUNCH: How to Get Your Kids Through College Debt-Free and Into Jobs They Love Afterward gave me the structure, clear direction, and shaping that netted me a long string of 100% 5-star reviews on Amazon, plus thousands of dollars in royalties in my very first week after release. Stacy is gentle, positive, kind, and supportive to work with. 5 stars. Highly, highly recommended.
Stacy Ennis is a creative consultant, editor, author, and coach extraordinaire—she’s also the person I relied on most to help me write this book. Stacy helped me clarify my goals, create a reader-friendly structure, and develop a writing schedule that meshed with my already more-than-full-time job. She coached me regularly to improve my writing and sharpen my ideas, offered content suggestions and edits that improved the quality of the book, and helped me navigate the complex publishing industry, which is evolving rapidly as a result of new technologies. Most importantly, she provided unending positive reinforcement to keep me going during the eight months it took to complete a first draft. Stacy, I couldn’t have done this without you. I owe you gigantic thanks.
My journey into authorhood allowed me to really (and I mean really) step into who I was as a leadership coach.
Writing the book helped me overcome imposter syndrome and truly believe that I deserved a seat at the table with any coaching client, no matter who they are or the size of the client engagement.
I am constantly blown away by the random emails or even handwritten notes of thanks for writing the book because the book helped someone I never met. Never did I think I could write a book, but once I got out of my own way with the help of Stacy and the Nonfiction Book School, I did it! And now I am an author! You can too. Trust the process, and most of all, believe and trust in yourself!
Stacy, Stacy. Where do I even start? No seriously, Stacy, where do I start? That was the question I had when I started this journey a few months back. I knew I needed help writing a book on my marketing methodology. Stacy to the rescue! She guided me with her thoughtful process and coaching, and now my book is being published by a highly competitive publisher. I have been able to expand into other offerings that support and complement my book, increasing my income and influence. She made everything so easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Stacy.
There’s no way I could have written something this good without a book coach. Learning how to outline and structure the book properly saved me so much time and helped me avoid a lot of mistakes. It was also great to have clear steps to follow so I always knew what to do next. And having referrals to editors and publishers meant I didn’t have to spend hours researching—everything I needed was already there.
Knowing that my book has helped other people talk about their experience with burnout, guilt, feelings of not being enough, perfectionism, and of "doing it all" at the expense of their health and well-being, makes all the late nights writing and early morning editing sessions worth it. Being able to put into context my experience so it can connect with and help others has been such an expected joy on this journey!
Thank you for your wisdom, encouragement, expertise, and contacts. Book writing is HARD—harder than I gave it credit for—and having you as a part of this journey has made it so much easier.
Stacy is perhaps the most talented writer and creative thinker I have had the opportunity to collaborate with in my 25-year career. Her ability to understand and clearly communicate complex topics is remarkable. I trust her guidance and recommend her with the utmost confidence.
After two years since its publishing, American Familia continues to serve as a blessing to my family and many others. The book brought our entire family together by reminding us that our core values of faith, family, and grit serve as uniting elements for our family and our children.
