Jokingly, I agreed it was a good idea, saying all I needed was a publisher! Lo and behold, Stephanie reached out to me and within about six months, my book, "The Theater and I," hit number one among new releases on Amazon's bestseller list! The entire experience of working on the book with Stephanie has been a pleasure, from beginning to end. We've already started talking about another one and I just might take a second plunge. – M A R K L O R D J U A N I T A S I M P S O N , A U T H O R O F “ L O V E Y O U M O R E ” I lost my soulmate a little over a year ago. At one point I thought I was suicidal, however, writing the book “Love You More”, helped me through the tears. Writing was healing for me. Love You More is a love story of two young people who never gave up…Now that my husband has gone to be with God, I have to continue to not give up for my children and grandchildren! Thank you Stephanie for assisting me during this journey and continuing to coach me to finish!! R E D P E N G U I N B O O K S . C O M • W E L C O M E G U I D E L I N D A S P R I N G E R - A U T H O R O F " T H E R E ' S A L W A Y S H O P E " She was more than a publisher, she was a book coach! She commented on my writing, suggested where I needed "more", and questioned my writing when I needed a fuller explanation. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to write a book. I am sure I will ask her to work with me on my next publication. – L I N D A S P R I N G E R I knew the moment I met publisher Stephanie Larkin, Red Penguin Books, that she would be able to help me complete my book, There's Always Hope. And she did! R . K . M U L L I N S , A U T H O R O F “ T I M E F O R A S E R I A L K I L L E R ” Three months ago I would not have even had thought, I would be part of the Red Penguin Books stable of authors.I contacted Stephanie looking for marketing help on my first published book. Somehow someway she saw something in me. She didn’t have to talk to me and offer advice, but she did.Then she invited me to be a guest speaker on her show “Between the Covers”. I wasn’t even one of her authors. This blew my away. When things started falling apart with the publishing company I was with. I pulled my book from print and halted any further business with them. I told Stephanie what all was going and she took me in under her flipper, pun intended.
