  • “I self-published my very first book, Rise & Pray: 60-Day Journal for Holistic Care, on Amazon. As a first-time author navigating the publishing process, Stephanie made the experience much easier and less overwhelming. She was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to the details that matter when preparing a book for Amazon KDP. Stephanie also connected me with someone who assisted with creating the spine and ensuring that my cover and interior book were properly formatted according to KDP’s requirements. Because of her guidance and attention to detail, my book was accepted by KDP on the very first submission without any problems! That was a tremendous accomplishment and gave me confidence in knowing that my book had been prepared correctly.
    I highly recommend Feathered Pen Publishing to authors who want professional guidance, quality support, and a smooth publishing experience”

  • “I highly recommend Stephanie of Feathered Pen for her professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to helping authors bring their visions to life. She had been my tax client for several years, but I did not initially know that she had entered the publishing industry. When she came for her tax appointment two years ago, I shared that I had completed my book, I Have an Idea for a Business: A 15-Step Guide to Launching Your Business with Biblical Wisdom. The manuscript had been ready for at least two years, but after trying several different avenues, the publishing process felt overwhelming.

    During that appointment, she explained the steps I needed to take, helped me organize everything, and made the process clear and manageable. Within approximately two to three weeks, my book was published. What impressed me most was how much she cared about communicating my message accurately. She took the time to read and understand the book, make the necessary edits, enhance its visual presentation, and ensure it was fully prepared for publication.

    I am truly grateful for her expertise and for helping me bring my vision to pass. I recommend Feathered Pen books for your author needs.“

    Monique Pinkney

  • “Working with Feathered Pen was a blessing in my journey to becoming a published author. My book, The 4 I’s of a Healthy Financial House, began as a God-given vision to help families understand financial stewardship and build healthier financial lives.

    Stephanie helped me take that vision from manuscript to publication with guidance, patience, and professionalism. Seeing my message become a published book was an incredible and rewarding experience.

    I am truly grateful to Feathered Pen for helping me bring this book to life and giving me the opportunity to share it with others. If you have a book inside of you and are ready to bring your vision to life, I am thankful to say that Feathered Pen was an important part of my publishing journey.”

    Mark Pinkney

  • “Dr. Stephanie Carter has been an incredible help to me throughout the publishing process. As the owner of Feathered Pen and the publisher of my books, she has helped me bring my ideas together in a way that is polished, professional, and ready to share with the world. 

    From helping with the cover design to guiding me in how to organize and present my books for publication and sale, her insight and direction have been invaluable. Stephanie has a wonderful ability to see what a project needs and help bring it all together beautifully. I am truly grateful for her knowledge, support, and the tremendous part she has played in helping me get my books finished and into the hands of readers.”
