“Stephanie has been my critical eye for eighteen years now, the most savvy story person I know. She is part critic, part teacher, part saint, I swear. More than once, as she wades through something of mine, I feel I have a skilled writing partner working out there to find the holes, putting her finger on the critical faults or vagaries whether it be of character, plot-line or theme. The big stuff, the details. Especially the details. Always coming up with possible solutions I would never have thought of in a year. And, aware all the while of the realities in a fast evolving marketplace.”

She has a very sharp eye for enhancing character development, pacing, continuity and dialogue and knows how to “lean down a script” to heighten story flow and dramatic impact. She’s also extremely helpful in problem-solving and has often guided me to ‘“finding diamonds when seeking gold.”’
