I've heard several people over the years say they want to write a book. The idea of getting their story out there for others to read excites them. They imagine what it would be like to finally own and share their story-what they've been through, the lessons they've learned so people would gain wisdom from them. Others long to put out into the world books that they want to read-romances that aren't cheesy, Tolkien like worlds that leave readers mystified, heartfelt characters who feel real and relatable. They have all these ideas, but they never follow through. They tell themselves they don't have the skill set, time, or money to actually see this through. They let the excuses drown out their vision, and the amazing story that they have dies in the graveyard of unfulfilled dreams. That's the case for over 70% of people who think about writing a book. That used to be me too. I used to say all the same things. "I'm too busy; I don't know how, and I don't have time to learn." The thing is I did have time. I just didn't think my story was important enough to prioritize. The truth is, I was wrong. My stories matter to people. My stories have given countless people hope and courage. My stories have given people vision and revelation. And the same can be true for your story. Your book can be a beacon of hope for someone else. Your story can provide wholesome entertainment, and create characters that make people feel seen and understood. Your story can do all this and more. But only if you write it.
The difference between the you that finally writes their story and the you that keeps thinking about it is the knowledge that your story matters, and having the right people to help you see it through. In the Academy we offer support and accountability to help you write your story. We offer a library and workbook chocked full of writing lessons that will help you identify your theme and develop your story. We have writing challenges and weekly write in sessions, in addition to monthly Q&A calls with an award nominated book coach.
I've spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours learning all the things that you will learn in the Academy. And you get access to it for the monthly cost of dinner and a movie.
If you really want this to be the year you finally write your story, join The Stories of Glory Academy. Get around others that are fired up and working towards the same goal of writing their book. It's far too easy to quit when you're going at it alone. But that author dream of yours is not just about you. It's about the readers who are waiting for your story, and now is the time to write it. Join the Academy today, and let's get writing.
Hi, I'm Desireé!
Since 2020 I have written and published 12 fiction, nonfiction, and fantasy works. I served as a chapter leader for KWA for two years where I inspired and equipped many Kingdom writers to start and finish their writing projects. Following this passion, I founded Stories of Glory Publishing and Scribal Champion LLC. In April 2026, I was a finalist for the Kingdom Book Awards for Art and Ministry and received honorable mention for my writing and coaching. I created this academy to help people get their stories out of their head, onto paper, and out into the world.
In this academy you'll receive:
-Video library of writing lessons
-Digital workbook
-Weekly write in sessions
-Writing challenges
-Monthly Q&A's with me
-Self-publishing training
-Online community

“I never thought of myself as a writer, let alone someone who would publish a book. But Desiree challenged, inspired and encouraged me. Words cannot express my immense gratitude because without her I would not have my first book. That book has allowed me to minister to people on a deeper level and the impact of sharing my story has brought breakthrough to me and others. If you can work with Desiree, do it. You won’t be disappointed.”
-Cheryl Zalewski Coleman, Broken Chapters
"My journey towards becoming an author isn’t complete without Desireé. She immediately stirred up a dormant potential in me and was readily available to provide time and needed guidance towards the completion and publishing of my first book. Now I have four published books."
-Lola Lawal, Raising Watchers
“There’s wisdom in hiring a coach to help you with things you don’t understand. Desireé went above and beyond for me hopping on Zoom and sending me videos. She kept our times light hearted which put me at ease as I was nervous about publishing. She formatted my ebook, provided insight into launching my book, and helped me create my own website as well. I’m beyond grateful for everything she has done for me and happy to recommend her to anyone who needs help getting their first book out into the world the right way.”
-Lawrence Giden, “A Call to Activism”
"Desiree is a powerful publisher and coach. Whenever I get an opportunity to work with her, I know that whatever project she presents to the world is going to be attractive, remarkable, well-crafted and ready for success."
