A Beautiful
Acknowledgement

To Regina Stribling, my friend and editor, I start with you. Without you, there would be no book. Over a year ago, you told me what this book would be about. You graciously showed up each week, grinned at my story-telling and gently reminded me - again and again. But I said absolutely not. Yet, when I returned only a few months ago in 2021, having been followed by an egg with a crown for many months, you graciously and humbly took me under your wing and shared the magic of your gifts of writing and story-telling. A heroine’s journey, you said. Using words to paint pictures, to elicit emotions, to make a point in a non-lawyerly way. To share an experience that would resonate with many more women who are just like me. You joined me in laughter, tears, frustration, sadness, and hope. You made me a better writer, a better person, and helped me choose freedom by sharing my story. You are the best editor and guide a girl could ask for. A wizard with words, a calming force, a wise soul. I am forever in your debt.

Authentic
Story-telling

“Regina is a wonderful editor and great person to confide in throughout your writing process. She helped me to see that the best way to impact others and tell my story authentically is to focus on the feelings and the lessons I learned in my experiences, rather than explaining things in a how - to fashion . Because of her thoughtful suggestions and responses, as well as the links and resources she sent , I was able to gain a deeper understanding of how to tell my story in an honest but compelling and bold way. Thank you Regina ! 10/10 stars :)”

~ Nate Jones, Book: Permission to Create!

Big Picture Appreciation

“Regina instilled in me the confidence and faith to continue working on my book. Not only did she orient her edits on the details of my writing, but she also contributed valuable “big-picture” insights that helped guide me whenever I felt overwhelmed. Regarding her editorial approach, she perfectly intertwines words of encouragement with constructive feedback, and provides examples in alignment with your style. She is consistent in her praise and determined by her work to help you achieve a piece of writing that you will be proud of. Collaborating with Regina was an engaging and invaluable experience that further inspired me to write beyond all doubts.”

Constructive Criticism

“Regina is a thoughtful, organized, genuine, and passionate developmental editor. I never doubted that she was just as invested as me in the content I wanted to organize and develop into a book. She was not only very timely with her reviews of my work, but she was incredibly thorough and always open to constructive criticism in her way of processing material. Though presented early on in creating my book, her comments and suggestions significantly shaped the advice given by my acquiring and revisions editors.”

~ Andrea Medina, Book: The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing

Professional Guide & Collaborator

“The centerpiece of my first published book emerged in the collaborative space Regina held with much warmth and professionalism. As my developmental editor, she was listening and guiding, spacious and containing in a way I desperately needed. Even though I was tempted to keep revising early chapters, she kept me moving to finish my manuscript on time.”

Expertise & Passion

"Regina has been the first editor I've ever worked with, and my experience with her couldn't be any better! She always showed up on time, well prepared, and with great energy to our weekly meetings. Her expertise and knowledge undoubtedly enhanced both my writing style and, consequently, my book tremendously. Working with her was a real enrichment to my new found passion for writing!”

~ Felix Dey, Book: The Ironic Link: How Comedy Overcomes Depression

Consistent Vision

“Regina consistently saw the potential, passion, and promise in my words, even when I was unable to myself. Having her as a resource to navigate the unique and challenging experience of writing a book is something I am eternally grateful for. Her expertise, compassion, and wisdom is inspiring. It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to collaborate with her.”

Great Value

“Regina Stribling is an editor of great value. When I started with my writing, I was writing content for several books. I was bouncing a bit all over. Her guidance, gentle but a firm way of following up with me on a weekly basis, worked very well for me. It was stimulating, and gave my wings to write an extra chapter. She is extremely dedicated. She listened very well, and gave me the right insight and tips to follow through!! A real GAME CHANGER. Thanks Regina!” 

~ Anne Denys, Book: Creating Abundance and Living Generously

Great Sounding Board & Cheerleader

“As my developmental editor, Regina was an integral part in the creation of Narcissus. She served not only as a fantastic editor but also as a great sounding board for new ideas and cheerleader for when things got tough. The book and its contents absolutely would not be what it is without her input, and I cannot express enough how much I appreciate her work.”

~ Ariel Tsai, Poetry Book: narcissus

Exponentially Better

“Regina was my developmental editor (DE) during the Creator Institute Spring 2022 Cohort. She was the first ever poet to take a look at my poetry, and it was such an honor to have worked with her. Her incredible eye caught key details in my work before I even knew they were there, and every piece she got her hands on was exponentially better once she had looked over it. Working with Regina made me feel so confident as a poet, and truly helped me level up my writing. I will miss working with her terribly, and will carry all of her wisdom into future projects!”

~ Ilana Weinstein, Poetry Book: When I Became Light: A Confidence Journey

Dedicated & Detail Oriented

“Regina is a very dedicated, detail oriented, and professional editor. She not only did a beautiful job editing my book but also encouraged and supported me during the process of writing and publishing my first book. It is a pleasure to work with Regina! ”
