Stephanie L. Martin Shewfelt

Writer: grant proposals, marketing materials, technical writing, newsletters, and narrative non-fiction

United States

I am a writer, a reader, and a traveler. My professional work with non-profits reflects my commitment to social justice and my deep desire to make a positive difference in our world. I earned my MFA in Writing from CalArts and my BA in Humanities with Women's Studies from New College of Florida, both writing-intensive degrees culminating in completed theses. Born and raised in Colorado, I have lived all over: Sarasota, FL; San Diego CA; Los Angeles, CA; Paris, France; and Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.
