Dr. Reaux Simmons, a published author, writing coach, retired U.S. Army vet, and grandmother with over 40 published books. I've built my life, voice, and businesses from scratch.

I’ve worn many hats: ghostwriter, children's book creator, VA professional, confidence strategist, and now the founder of Black Quill Coaching. But at the center of it all is one truth: I believe in the power of storytelling to heal, to transform, and to remind us who we are.

I’ve seen behind the curtain of publishing — the doubts, the gatekeeping, the “maybe later.” And I’m not here to keep the secrets. I’m here to help you write with confidence, clarity, and conviction. Whether you're starting a book, stuck in your story, or tired of second-guessing yourself, I’ve got you.

You don’t have to write alone anymore.
This space was built for you — and I’m walking it with you, pen in hand.
