Author Steph Auteri

Steph Auteri is the founder of Career Coaching for Word Nerds, a company created with an eye toward building a community of fellow word nerds and publishing professionals who can share stories, experiences, tips, and resources with their peers, and also connect with established experts within the industry. Steph offers one-on-one coaching and consulting, and an e-course for freelance writers. Her services are for those trying to find their way through the publishing industry. They're also for those who don’t know how to write a query letter... for those who are unfamiliar with the pitch-to-publish process... for those who don’t know if they should be writing or editing…creating books or laying out newspaper pages…marketing web content, launching their own blog, or proofreading typeset pages. In addition to her regular services, Steph also planned and executed a Word Nerd Networking event that attracted 75 writers, editors, and other publishing professionals. The event earned outstanding participant reviews, and spawned plans for an upcoming digital publishing forum. When she's not career coaching, Steph takes on a wide variety of freelance writing and editing projects (and also sings funeral masses!). She has been published in Playgirl, Time Out New York, Nerve, The Frisky, and other bastions of fine writing. She has also co-written an e-book with Ian Kerner -- a noted sex counselor and the author of She Comes First -- called 52 Weeks of Amazing Sex.
