“FROM MANUSCRIPT TO MASTERPIECE”

”Sage did developmental and copy editing, providing exceptionally insightful ghostwriting for sections that needed it. She has that rare capacity to turn any manuscript into a masterpiece.”—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.

"KICK ASS, SMART AND FAST!"

"Sage kicks ass at editing. Her work is fast, precise, mind-blowingly smart. The work she did makes me much prouder of the book. You won't find a better editor."—Dr. Daniel C. Harrigan, Ph.D., Yoga Self-Defense

"SMART, ENCOURAGING BOOK-BABY MIDWIFE!"

"Sage helped me get my first book of spiritual poetry birthed to the world. She was an answer to my prayers! Sage has an AMAZING EAR FOR FLOW IN POETRY that can only come from another poet.
