“I want to recommend Writing from the Ground up because Stephanie's posts are a wonderful mix of the practical (pop-up coaching videos!) and the inspirational. I loved what she said about those moments when we're stuck and would quote it here, if only there was room to do so!”
Sarah McCraw Crow, An Unfinished Story
“Stephanie is a generous guide and a steady voice — part writing coach, part mindset whisperer. Her newsletter is a kind and sturdy companion for anyone starting (or starting again, as many WAGO readers are!). Writers at heart: you’ll feel seen here.”
Lou Blaser, We're All Getting Older
“Stephanie's knowledgable and gentle approach is such a benefit to writers!”
