Stephanie Malench

Stephanie Malench is a freelance writer and editor with her business, Write By Steph, where she focuses on copywriting, newsletter and newspaper content, resumes, and editing books and college papers with an emphasis on PhD dissertations.

I began my writing career over 20 years ago while in grad school at Saint Louis University getting my Masters in Social Work. My first publication was a chapter I co-wrote with one of my professors that was accepted for publication before graduation and shortly thereafter had two more independent research projects published in scholarly journals.

After graduation I took my love of reading and writing and combined it with my passion for education and began writing articles about issues of importance to older adults in a local senior newspaper, social service agency newsletters, and an online blog.

Stephanie has a “staff” of one cat of her own and a rotation of foster cats that she helps find their "forever" homes. She also enjoys cooking and finding antiques for her 1925 home.
