Capture the essence of your inner brilliance with The Grounded Writer methodology
You have a unique story to tell. You lived a life with a journey worth sharing. You want to inspire and affect positive change in the world. What you offer is valuable.
Or you’re a heart-centered entrepreneur looking for a peaceful and effective way to scale. You’ve developed a proprietary framework or philosophy that drives you and your business, and you feel there’s a potential to reach and positively affect thousands of customers. Your framework could be distilled into a book.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, coach, or health professional, you’re writing your memoir, prescriptive or narrative nonfiction, or even a novelist, The Grounded Writer methodology can help you embrace and channel the power and purpose of your writing, revise it to ensure it reflects the vision and goals of what you intend to offer, and put it on the path to publishing.
The path to publishing could be:
via a front-end offer that simultaneously provides new customers with value and turns them into qualified clients of your premium offer;
self-publishing on Amazon and Ingram Spark;
traditional publishing by way of a literary agent and a traditional publisher, armed with a query letter and either a polished manuscript or book proposal.

Developing books as front-end offers
Entrepreneurs who would like to introduce themselves to new customers and clients can do so with a book as a front-end offer in their acquisitions funnel. A good short book can easily turn quality customers into premium clients.
Crafting Book Proposals
I help heart-centered entrepreneurs, coaches, health professionals, and narrative and prescriptive nonfiction writers with crafting the best possible book proposal to catch the attention of a literary agent and traditional publisher.
Researching & Querying LIterary agents
It can be a challenge to research and find the best literary agent for your work. I offer a custom done-for-you service where I handle the research for you and help you craft the perfect query letter to prompt agents to ask for more.
editing & formatting Manuscripts
Based on your vision and goals for the book, I first help to ensure the structure and development of the material is sound, and then I format it, tighten up your prose, flag inconsistencies, and fix errant grammar and spelling issues.
Ghostwriting your nonfiction book
You have a great premise and outline but don’t have the time or care to write a whole book yourself. With my Grounded Writer approach to writing, I can help turn your ideas into a manuscript that reflects your vision and goals.
photographing Portraits & Literary events
I’ve been honored to create visceral author headshots and provide coverage of events such as Greensboro Bound, GrubStreet’s Muse & the Marketplace, The Moth, Literary Death Match, Gateless Writing retreats, and more.
“My experience of Stanley has been clear, comfortable, and impactful. Tuned into a level of service beyond many others in the field, he is a guide for creative types and creative himself.”
