In-depth stories of authors who worked with Story & Sterling to take a book from a rough idea to publication.
The challenge: A decade of hard-won leadership lessons, but no time to write and no idea where to start.
Our approach: We paired the client with a ghostwriter experienced in leadership titles, built a clear framework in strategy sessions, and drafted the manuscript from weekly interviews.
The result: A finished manuscript in six months, a traditional publishing deal, and a book that now anchors the client's speaking business.
The challenge: A remarkable life story, but scattered memories and no clear narrative through-line.
Our approach: Structured interviews surfaced the central question of the memoir, and a narrative arc was built before a single chapter was drafted.
The result: A published memoir that has become a fixture in the client's community and family.
The challenge: Three abandoned drafts and a growing suspicion the book would never get finished.
Our approach: Weekly coaching sessions provided structure and accountability, followed by developmental and line editing on the completed draft.
The result: A polished manuscript, representation from a literary agent, and a book on submission to publishers.
