HAVE A STORY TO TELL BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
Without Marcy Pusey my stories/words wouldn’t have had come to life as they have and I would still be struggling with the fear of writing for kids. Marcy is kind, direct, helpful, creative, intuitive, and fair. With her tireless patience, she is forever inspiring me to create my words as an experience. Thank you Marcy for being on my team. You are a gem! And thank you for helping me fulfill a childhood dream of writing kids picture books.

Marcy is beyond a breath of fresh air. She is a guiding light with a wonderful manner, patience, and an understanding nature. The process of creating a book isn’t straight forward, but Marcy gives you the motivation required to break through hurdles that would bring most down. I’ve never felt alone in this process; I’m so grateful for her knowledge and commitment throughout.

- Jason Neal
Marcy was there to help me from start to finish on my children’s veterinary book series. I really appreciate how personal, yet honest she is. I want a good finished product, and Marcy helped me achieve that. Her experience and knowledge in the children’s book industry, as well as her many contacts, make her a valuable resource to have as a children’s book author. I will continue to have her edit my children’s books in the future. Thank you, Marcy, for a job well done!
