Here’s what others have said about working together:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. Today I just finished visiting a school–they were very happy to have my book in their school The principal kept introducing me as an author–never in my life did I dream I’d be here. Today, hearing him say that, made me realize that I AM an author and it’s because of you. Because you believed in a vision I had; you helped me get through it. Teddy (The Boy with Glasses) is getting out there because you believed in me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marcy. I can not thank you enough.

"Working with Marcy was a DREAM! I honestly don't know what I would've done without her! Not only is she a skilled editor, she is incredibly thoughtful as a coach and mentor. She truly takes pleasure in helping others' dreams of being published come true. Marcy, how grateful I am to have found YOU!”

Tee-Time with Daddy: My First Nine
Marcy is a great encourager. I was having doubts that I could do this, but she was there with me to say keep going. In fact, she said in our last call, “Don't quit.” I said, “Marcy, that’s the name of my book!” It was confirmation enough for me that I'm in God's will writing this book.

Marcy builds my confidence and encourages me to trust my instincts. That is huge for a newbie. She has specific answers and guidance when needed. I panicked and might have given up when I was struggling last week, but her email gave me clarity and encouragement. I'm back on track and feeling better than ever about the project.
Denise Anderson
Marcy connected with me and my mission, broke things down, and reassured me when I panicked over nothing. A detailed road map keeps you from derailing. There is no substitute for the warmth and care from another human being.

Marcy is so professional, knowledgeable. A real people-person. I felt an immediate affinity towards her like I'd known her for years. She explained every step to take so carefully. I love her desire to empower people and play the process forward. A great session. Excited and looking forward to our next meeting.
