-Drew MacArthur

BRILLIANT, INSPIRED GHOSTWRITING AND EXCEPTIONAL EDITING

"Sage helped me bring my book—Loving and Leaving a Sex Addict: A Journey of Self-Love, Healing, and Empowerment—to life. I handed her 300 pages of 'emotional chaos.' What she gave back to me was more than I ever imagined: a POWERFUL, POLISHED MEMOIR that captures my voice and story with clarity, sensitivity, and purpose.

"She skillfully protected my privacy and reduced risks of libel through effective masking, while keeping the emotional truth intact. She brilliantly enriched the manuscript with valuable self-help tools—Reflection Questions, Affirmations, and appendices for Choosing and Working with the Right Therapist and Attorney. She guided me in choosing a pen name and great title, reviewed cover designs, and crafted a compelling back synopsis blurb that perfectly captures the book’s essence.

"EXCEPTIONAL—ghostwriting, developmental editing, citations, proofreading—handling every phase with professionalism and care. I highly recommend Sage to anyone seeking a partner who brings both heart and excellence to their project."

- Theresa Libretti

"KICK ASS, SMART AND FAST!"

"SMART, ENCOURAGING BOOK-BABY MIDWIFE!"

If you want an editor who honors YOUR voice while elevating your book to the best it can be: Sage is your book-baby midwife!"
