“Stephanie took our writing to the next level! She asks the right questions. She gets your voice and amplifies it. She spots fuzzy ideas and prose that need to be fleshed out. If your narrative breaks down, she will show you where it happened and help you get it back on track. She is a brilliant editor to have on the team. She comes highly recommended and delivers big.”
Sean Vanderhoven, author of PAUSE: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World
"Stephanie Land is the definition of a badass! I was hesitant about working with someone to help me write my book, but after my first meeting with Stephanie, I was at ease. She easily captured my voice, she met every deadline, and had excellent ideas to make my manuscript better.
Besides an amazing book, we also became friends in the process. You will not find a better person to bring your story to life."
RISHA GRANT, AUTHOR OF BE BETTER THAN YOUR BS: How Radical Acceptance Empowers Authenticity and Creates a Workplace Culture of Inclusion
“Stephanie is the editor every author wants, and few are brave enough to hire. She loved the details. She challenged me where I needed it. She made me defend my best ideas and rethink my weakest ones. The book is sharper because of her.”
Erica Dhawan, author of USE YOUR BRAIN: Think Deeper in a World on Autopilot
"Stephanie has an amazing ability to capture your voice and make sure your personality makes it onto the page. I’m not the most conventional author, and every time I propose some crazy idea, she just rolls with it and makes it work. She also knows how to get to the heart of what you’re trying to say. By the time Stephanie is done with you, you’ll have thought harder about what you do and why you do it than you have in a long time. She is more than just a writer, she’s a true collaborator and partner in crime."
Gary Vaynerchuk, FIVE-time New York Times bestselling author
"Stephanie is a great writer, and working with her on my first book was truly a pleasure. Writing a book is not easy–there is so much to get in!–but Stephanie was great at organizing everything I had to say and making sure that my voice came through. She was also incredibly patient with my constant changes and editing. I can’t say more about how great she was to work with!"
Lori Greiner, star of Shark Tank and bestselling author of Invent It, Sell It, Bank It! Make Your Million Dollar Idea Into a Reality
"Stephanie is a superb editor, one who makes writers look better than they deserve."
David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and bestselling author of Perfectly Legal
“The Gap franchise would not be where it is today if it were not for the brilliant mind and writing of Stephanie Land. Her ability to get into our minds, navigate through the noise, and coalesce our thoughts on paper is an act of genius. On behalf of both Will and me, thanks, Steph! You make the process enjoyable and possible.”
Keenan and Will Aitken, GAP PROSPECTING: Getting the Buyer to Engage
"Each time I’d read my manuscript I would think about how lucky I was to work with Stephanie. Her writing and eye for detail are just phenomenal. Beyond the quality of her writing, I found her to be an empathetic, highly organized project manager who pushed the book forward despite my hectic international travel schedule. She was a wonderful partner in helping me tell my story, and I would enthusiastically recommend her."
Leila Janah, CEO and founder, Sama and LXMI, author of Give Work: Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time
"Stephanie was a delight to work with and is an extraordinary talent."
Pamela Meyer, bestselling author of Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception
"Stephanie Land works like the best improviser: she helps find “the” voice rather than “her” voice; she listens; she’s fast and agile and she builds a true ensemble with her clients. We loved working with her and hope to do it again."
Kelly Leonard and Tom Yorton, authors of Yes, And: Lessons From The Second City
“Stephanie was amazingly helpful in bringing life and color to my writing. She is professional, prompt, and added tremendous value.”
Stephanie K. Johnson, Ph.D, AUTHOR OF INCLUSIFY: THE POWER OF UNIQUENESS AND BELONGING TO BUILD INNOVATIVE TEAMS
"Sidell's account of life as a restaurateur isn't the first or likely the last, but it ranks among the best."
Publishers Weekly Starred Review of When I Met Food: Living the American Restaurant Dream by Kathy Sidell
“Stephanie Land is a maestro. She was able to seemingly invade my brain and quickly understand all of the concepts I wanted to write about—and somehow also immerse herself in understanding me to write in my voice. She’s a consummate professional who made an arduous process fun and stimulating.”
Steve Herz, Author of Don’t take yes for an answer: using authority, warmth, and energy to get exceptional results
"Stephanie is simply an outstanding writer whom I would recommend to anyone, any time, without hesitation. Her ability to grasp, shape, and even enhance a book concept is a clear strength of hers, and her ability to understand an author’s voice is invaluable. I look forward to working with her again on my next book!"
