Purpose & Pen Publishing is proudly founded by mother–daughter duo Staci Kirk and Jasmyne Yarbrough — two women connected by both family and a shared love for storytelling, creativity, and impact.
Staci brings the heart, vision, and lived experience — as an author, speaker, cancer thriver, and community leader who believes stories have the power to heal and empower. Jasmyne brings a fresh creative perspective, strong digital instincts, and a passion for helping messages reach the people who need them most.
Jasmyne is an avid reader with a deep love for language, story structure, and the emotional rhythm of a great book. With a natural editorial eye and a gift for refinement, she helps authors strengthen their voice, clarify their message, and elevate their manuscripts with care and precision. Her passion for books and attention to detail ensure every project is both meaningful and beautifully polished.
Together, they blend wisdom and fresh perspective to help authors turn their experiences into professionally published books that inspire, uplift, and create lasting change.
At Purpose & Pen Publishing, every project is personal — because behind every book is a story that deserves to be told with care.
