Stefanie joined other contributors to the current issue of Storyscape Journal earlier in November in a reading at the Cake Shop NYC. See her recently released story “Shorn” here. At the reading , Stefanie read her story “Venus de Madre,” available here.
Storyscape aims to collect stories of all kinds: ones that adhere to form and ones that don’t, ones that really happened and ones someone invented, ones steeped in tradition and those that are a-traditional, ones that make you cry and ones that make you wet your pants, ones a writer labored over for days using a dictionary, a computer, and an MFA to craft, and ones someone overhead at the bus stop. You may call it a poem, but we call it words with spaces. You call it a book review, but we call it a story about another story. You may swear every word really happened, but we still call it a story.
It’s very exciting to see this accomplishment. It’s a new plateau but not the top of the mountain.
