Hi, I'm Stacy
Founder of the The Story Stem
I'm a freelance editor, book coach, and writer/ghostwriter based in St. Louis, Missouri.
I'm thrilled you're here.
Writing has always been a major part of my life. When I was four years old, I asked Santa for a typewriter because I wanted to be an author. As a child I wrote short stories and created little picture books, as a high school student I was the Editor-in-Chief for the school newspaper, and as an adult I have written fiction novels and a children's book, featuring my dogs as the main characters. I have channeled my passion for writing and teaching into my business and currently work as a developmental editor and a book coach, ensuring each manuscript becomes more compelling while still retaining the author's voice and story. One of my favorite parts of editing and book coaching is the opportunity I have to help make someone's dream of writing a book come true.
I have also ghostwritten numerous memoirs, self-help, romance, and fiction books, as well as health and wellness, education, and lifestyle articles and blog posts.
Writing has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I believe everyone has a story to tell, and by sharing our stories, we can connect to and inspire others. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with my clients to bring their stories to life.
In addition to my extensive freelance career, I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing. I have taught English and Creative Writing at both the high school and university levels.


Sincerely,
Stacy Burnett
