Meet Stephanie...
I was born and raised in the south, y'all. I got married at twenty, but I also owned a dance studio and graduated from college that year. So...not your typical twenty-year-old. We had three children that I homeschooled K-12, which was an amazing journey!
​​
When my youngest was in high school, I got serious about writing.
​​
I had dabbled, writing skits and plays for church. I even had a complete manuscript. (It was awful, but you can't edit a blank page, right?) It took eight years of workshops and critique groups before I managed to snag a literary agent with a YA Christian Contemporary.
​​
I write YA (Young Adult) and MG (Middle Grade). I love all the genres: Epic Fantasy, Sci-fi, Contemporary, Magical Realism. All. The. Things.
​​
Now I'm a Grammy, and I'm still pre-published, but my foot is securely in the door! In the meantime, I continue to write new things--working on the next New York Times Bestseller right now! (It could happen.) AND I became a literary agent so I can help others realize their dreams of publication. I just launched a new agency, Lighthouse Literary! (Sorry, I'm currently closed to submissions.)
​
I've also had the pleasure of working on four film crews (If You're Gone, Be Still and Know, Most Wonderful Time, and All Is Calm) with writer/director/actress Brittany Goodwin and her production company. Check them out on Prime video or watch the trailers here. (I had a small part in If You're Gone and Most Wonderful Time and was an extra in All Is Calm, too!)

Write On!
