Author bio
Stacy Ennis is a book and magazine editor, writer, book coach, and speaker, as well as the author of The Editor’s Eye: A Practical Guide to Transforming Your Book from Good to Great. Her greatest joy is helping people achieve their book-writing dreams, and she has had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of authors in varied genres, editing several chart-toppers.
Stacy spent two years abroad in the Dominican Republic and Vietnam, where she developed a unique perspective and approach to her work. Experiences like hiking Ta Kou Mountain to see the reclining Buddha in Mui Ne, Vietnam, being robbed at gunpoint in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and exploring the island of Ko Chang, Thailand, helped Stacy establish a foundation for understanding the varied viewpoints and approaches of writers and readers. She has friends and colleagues around the world and sees the connections she forms with people as the most important aspect of her career.
After returning to the U.S., Stacy was the founding managing editor of a lifestyle magazine. Later, she became the executive editor of Healthy Living Made Simple, a Sam’s Club magazine that reaches over 8 million readers. Her role at the publication involved writing around 50 percent of the magazine’s content, including a cover feature on Oprah Winfrey and Deepak Chopra. She now works with a wide range of clients, from celebrities and corporate clients to independent authors and small book presses and also ghostwrites magazine articles, web content, and books, often reaching national and international audiences.
Stacy lives in Boise, Idaho, with her husband, daughter, and two cats. In her free time, she enjoys running in the Boise foothills, reading great books, working on art projects, traveling the world, and spending time with her family outdoors. She has a bachelor’s in writing with a minor in visual art and is completing her master’s in professional writing and editing from the University of Cincinnati.
