Memoir short: the book I risked my job to publish
From the days when I was an acquiring editor in book publishing
Hi! It’s Stephenie. I’ve done lots of different things as a storyteller, including working as an acquiring and senior editor for a variety of publishers.
I clearly write a lot of my own stuff, but there’s something about empowering other people to tell their stories that fills me with a joy I can’t live without. Especially when writing has been the one thing that’s always come so easily to me. I speak the language of storytelling like it’s my native tongue.
And to tell you the truth…it is. I kinda struggle to communicate with people the normal way. It’s just a product of me being neurodivergent (and traumatized lol but I’m in recovery and therapy ❤). Those two things mean that while I’m not very at good at much of anything else, when it comes to storytelling…I’ve got what it takes, Mom!
