Meet the Creator

AJ Stevenson

Published Works

I'm AJ Stevenson, author of It All Begins & Ends with a Kiss (Amazon), Ego Tripping (BookBaby), and the creator of the Dancing with the Code saga, launching with Dancing with the Dead. That first book only took me fifteen years to finish, which sounds either deeply committed or mildly unhinged. Possibly both.

I've lived every frustration a writer can have. Plot holes. Shiny-object syndrome. Editing costs that feel like ransom notes. Formatting nightmares. The paralyzing "What the hell do I do next?" phase. After tripping over every possible landmine in the writing and publishing process, I finally decided to stop complaining and build something better.

That something is Plot & Publish.

Plot & Publish doesn't write your book for you. If it did, you wouldn't learn a thing and I'd feel dirty about it. Instead, it mentors you through the entire process. It helps you plan, organize, revise, and move forward without drowning you in minutia or convincing you that publishing requires a second mortgage. The goal is simple: remove the friction so you can do the one thing that actually matters… write.

Beyond the Pages

When I'm not building worlds or tools for writers, I'm raising three daughters, breeding peacocks (yes, that's a real thing), and enjoying a thirty-year love affair with my wife, Tracy. Somewhere in there I also make music, chase new ideas, and stubbornly believe stories still matter.

If Plot & Publish helps you finish the book you've been carrying around in your head, then it's doing exactly what I built it to do. Now stop overthinking it. Write the damn book.
