Meet MRM: Patty Dost – Virtual Assistant

Hi, I’m Saige—Proofreader & Editor and a poet at heart! I am constantly caught sitting in the small things—on the porch, in the rain, at the table. I love to observe, to be still the way the Lord commanded, and I think that stillness is where life holds most of its beauty. Poetry has always been my way of capturing and cherishing the lovely little moments that might otherwise pass me by.

I’ve been in the writing and editing world for about five years now. I studied creative writing all four years of my undergrad at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and during that time I interned with SoLit, a local literary nonprofit, where I helped manage the marketing side of things.

Hi, I’m Abby—Copy Editor & Proofreader and lifelong word-lover! I’ve always been drawn to words—from my early days of devouring tween and teen magazines and penning rhyming poetry to my career pursuits as a writer, editor, and content marketer.

I have nearly twenty years of professional editorial experience, and I knew early on that I wanted to work with words—so I’ve stayed in that lane my whole career. I love being part of the process that takes a manuscript from draft to its final, polished form.

Hi, I’m Renee—Book & Author Coach, Storytelling Photographer, and dreamer. I’m a lover of people, words, gardens, glitter, Jesus, my husband, and our miracle rainbow baby girl. With a passion for words and photos that linger in the heart long after the book, event, or session ends, I strive to bring a unique blend of creativity, vibrancy, and tenacity to every person and project.

I look forward to walking with writers through the process from dream to book to become a published author. I love praying with and for others, and I bring joy!

Hi, I’m Mia—Copy Editor and Ghostwriter at MRM! I enjoy fine-tuning projects so that each word, comma, and concept is intentionally placed, creating clarity and flow for the client’s vision.

I’m a walker of sidewalks, grassy trails, foreign streets, bargain store aisles, and above all, the Way of Jesus. When I’m not walking my usual route through my little corner of downtown Chattanooga, my favorite places to exist are in the kitchen cooking up a mystery dish, on a seat by flowing water with poetry journal in hand, or in an empty parking lot practicing new swing dance moves with my husband.

Hi, I’m Jordyn—Administrative Assistant and Content Creator at MRM! I love keeping things organized, supporting great teams, and making every day feel like a real celebration.

I’m a creative and detail-oriented professional with a background in administrative support, marketing coordination, and digital content. I love combining organization, communication, and creativity to help teams run smoothly—while also making sure nothing falls through the cracks along the way.
