About Me

Education

Hi! My name is Steph and I am the one-woman show behind Quill & Corset. I have always loved the writing process, especially when it was time to edit. There’s something so compelling about reworking structure, selecting the most accurate words, and catching little oopsies to make a piece of writing as polished, clear, and powerful as possible.

Here is me in a nutshell:

  • former ESOL/English language teacher

  • mother of two

  • lover of historical romance (but I’m willing to try new things!)

  • attached to my emotional support kindle

  • American living abroad

  • advocate of reading for pleasure

  • constantly in awe of authors’ talents, hard work, and determination (You all are superstars!)
