All of them. Yours. Mine.

Stories are how hearts and minds are connected. They are how we come to understand ourselves better, both internally and in relation to the world. How we learn about each other. How we grow as humans. How we develop compassion, empathy, and acceptance.

That’s why my life’s work is to support emerging writers to find clarity, build accountability and hone skills . . . so that their stories can make their way into the world.

Your story matters.

Stories Matter.

  • Stephanie has been there every step of the way to celebrate my achievements and support me out of dark holes that have made writing difficult. Her insights into the writing process have been enormously helpful. The most exciting part for me is how much my literary skills have grown since we began working together.

  • Stephanie is amazing! I have always dreamed of writing a book and it has never been closer to a reality than after working with Stephanie. This program helped me know my characters and plan my story better than anything I’ve ever tried before! It is worth every penny!

  • Honestly, the entire experience has been wonderful and grounding.
