Buried in the facts, find the story that’s human and relatable
Hi, I’m Stacey Solie.
I help professionals share their experience through written storytelling.
Everyone is an expert at something, and I love helping people contribute their insight by capturing what they know in print.
I’m a generalist - I have helped scientists, climate policy wonks, wealth advisors, musicians, novelists, artists and memoirists figure out what they’re trying to say and get it down on the page, or refine and clarify what they’ve already written.
From the Ground Up: Voices of the Carbon Market (2025)
I produced this documentary to amplify the experiences of farmers, teachers and others not typically featured in carbon market stories; and to show what a few high-integrity US-based carbon projects look like. (Funded by The Beyond Alliance)

The Process
You share your draft and ideas with me. We talk on the phone or video conference (and — if appropriate — I do the same with your clients or stakeholders), and collaborate on new drafts until we’ve crafted a compelling piece of writing that does what you want it to do (e.g. educate, persuade, entertain).
Put your stories to work by getting them out of your head and down on paper.
-
You have something you need to put into words, but you haven’t done it yet.
-
You have a draft or a source document that needs to be reworked. Maybe it lacks organization or flow, or it only captures part of what you're trying to convey.
-
An existing narrative needs to be countered, and you need ammunition, in the form of compelling examples to make your case. I help identify narrative-shifting stories and talking points to support your goals.
My Work
My work spans a wide range of genres: academic science writing, journalism, personal narrative, policy, marketing and explanatory white papers, and includes editing others' work, ghostwriting and my own original writing.
About Me
Before owning my own writing, editing and production company, I spearheaded the birth of science communications at The Nature Conservancy and led science-writing workshops and classes. I worked as a journalist for several years (sometimes still do), with work published in the New York Times, the Daily Beast and other national and local outlets; did comms work at Stanford University, and landed a screenwriting gig at HBO.
In my formative years, I exited a highly controlling white-dominated patriarchal religion, an experience which sharpened my critical thinking towards authority and propaganda; gave me understanding and compassion for religious zeal; and made me into a self-help junkie in a life-long effort to counteract all that conditioning.
After moving to the Mojave desert, I started playing drums. Holding down the beat in a couple of bands and getting involved in local community endeavors has proven to be the balm I've been searching for all along.
