✍️ New Episode of ‘Booked in Detroit’!

In our newest episode, Allie sits down with Stephanie Steinberg, founder and CEO of The Detroit Writing Room, to talk about her journey from award-winning journalist to entrepreneur, editor, and mentor.

Stephanie shares how she transformed a dream into one of Detroit's most respected writing communities, where writers of every level can find coaching, workshops, and support.

The conversation also highlights Coaching Detroit Forward, the nonprofit Stephanie founded to provide Detroit students with free writing, journalism, photography, and mentorship opportunities. Its mission is simple but powerful: to help young people discover the confidence and skills to tell their own stories.

Whether you're writing your first novel, polishing a memoir, building a business, or simply love books and storytelling, this episode is full of insight, encouragement, and practical advice from someone who has worked with publications including The New York Times, USA Today, The Detroit News, and many more.
