I help
become authors.

Sara Stibitz  •  Writer + Editor

Clarity & guidance for writers

This is about far more than a book.

Hi, I’m Sara Stibitz, and my team and I help writers and creatives become authors.

My clients’ books have won awards; many of them are New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers. Since 2013, I’ve helped hundreds of writers find their voices and share their work all over the world.

But what I really do? I help my clients look at the totality of their body of work, experience, and stories to find and share the deep meaning hidden in all of it. It’s not just about writing and publishing a book; these days, almost anyone can do that. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself.

Is it your turn?

Sara was a true partner in the creation of my book. Make no mistake about it – this book would not exist if not for your research, writing, coordinating, editing, revising, pacifying, and laughing. Sara is the secret ingredient you’ve been searching for.”

Joey Coleman, author of #2 Wall Street Journal bestseller Never Lose a Customer Again and creator of the First 100 Days®

“Before working with Sara in her writing program, I was stuck. Writing a book is hard and I didn’t know where to begin. I was hung up on book structure and needed help developing my idea. Sara’s coaching created the accountability I needed to write without worrying about the other stuff. As I wrote, the structure become clearer which motivated me to write more. Now, I am enjoying writing more than ever, which is inspiring.”

Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge and keynote speaker

Sara helps authors mediate what needs to be written. She listens to what is said and unsaid, asks insightful questions, offers structure, and creates a nonjudgmental space through which brilliant books birth forth with courage, fortitude, and grace. Sara knows the writing landscape well and guides authors beyond boulders, landslides, and quicksand and onto a steadfast, forward movement, ushering us across the finish line.

Sheryl Netzky, founder of Good Energy Heals

“Sara, you were invaluable. Grateful for all the guidance, research, interviews, wordsmithing, and getting us to the finish line.”

Jim Kwik, author of New York Times bestseller Limitless and founder of Kwik Learning
