A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE CLIENT AUTHORS

Read the latest from our blog

Jocelyn Carbonara is that one-in-a-million type of editor. And Scott helped me craft the ideal story arc and dialogue. I ended up with two skilled editors/writers—my dream—and two new friends. True, the process is intense, but it is clear my book is immensely better because of these Spiritus editors/writers.
— Nico de Klerk, PhD, professor, social entrepreneur, and author, “No Fit”
I’ve had a story to tell for years, but I’m not a writer. Hiring Scott was the best decision I made to get my book done. He was able to deal with my painful story and make it something I’m proud to share.
— Randy Grimes, former NFL player, and author, “Off Center”
I’d been warned that the editing of a book was a tough process. I guess those people did not have Jocelyn as their editor. Her insights, edits, and questions enabled my book to become an international bestseller. I highly recommend Jocelyn for anyone wanting to get their books published and polished. I cannot imagine writing without Jocelyn in my corner.
— Laura Steward, award-winning author, “What Would a Wise Woman Do?”
I’ve never been able to write, so I knew I needed someone to write my book. Scott made it easy and the story he came up completely outdid any expectations I had.
— Tim Ryan, TV star of A&E's “Dope Man,” and author, “From Dope to Hope”
Working with Jocelyn was one of the most enjoyable parts of writing my book. It was fascinating to get her feedback and thoughts, bringing together different ideas, eliminating redundancies, and streamlining the flow issues that naturally developed in the process of writing the book over a span of years. Highly recommend her—she is incredible to work with.
— Brian Klausner, MD, memoir/healthcare author
If you are looking for a top-notch writer or editor, you need to hire and work with Jocelyn. She is a subject-matter expert who hits the mark consistently. I have worked with Jocelyn for more than three years now on a wide variety of high-level publishing assignments, books, and projects, and more—she makes everything I do look even better—every time! I highly recommend Jocelyn for your next important project.
— Anne Bruce, author of 22 books on leadership and self-help
