Hi! I’m Stephanie.

I write about Central European books and culture for places like Bookforum, Lit Hub, and Hyperallergic. For the 2023-24 academic year, I’ll be a Fulbright scholar in Budapest, Hungary. In 2022, I received my MFA in fiction from NYU. I’m currently at work on a novel.

Kind Words

I can’t properly put into words how much your words of wisdom are appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming in and speaking with us today.
— Sara A., Bustle panel attendee
We did exit interviews with our interns and they said the panels and your advice was their fave part! They left feeling inspired, motivated, and honestly like they could do anything (pretty much exact quotes).
— Alexandra F., Bustle Panel Organizer
Something spoke to me about the way Stephanie ran her freelance business, so I took her feminist business plan workshop. Coming out of it, I had so much more clarity about where to spend my time, where not to spend time, and my action plan for the next few months. Also, Stephanie is so knowledgeable, really brilliant and so sweet! I highly recommend working with her.

I loved hearing your story and learning more about feminism and how to get educated on the subject!

About Me

I'm a writer and Fulbright scholar living in Budapest, Hungary, after eight years in New York. In 2022, I received my MFA in fiction from NYU. I’m currently working on two book projects, but my shorter-form writing is available here.

From 2016-18, I ran a media platform called Writing on Glass that helped women launch feminist-minded businesses. Before that, I worked as a strategy consultant for Fortune 500 media/entertainment companies across the U.S., and a marketing manager for a Berlin tech startup.

Other facts: I have a B.A. in English from Harvard, am an INFJ on the Myers-Briggs scale, have traveled to 37 countries (and counting), and am married to Nathan Gould.

Questions? Thoughts? Collaborations? I’d love to hear from you.
