About the Author
In third grade, Steph Katzovi announced that she was going to be author when she grew up.
Realizing that she might want to explore other career options first, Steph got her bachelor's degree from Binghamton University before attending Brooklyn Law School. Although she aced the Legal Writing classes and wrote amazing outlines for exams, Steph knew her calling was not as a practicing attorney. After graduation, Steph shelved her law degree and two bar admissions to become a professional writer. She spent the bulk of her 15+ year career at Deloitte as a speechwriter and strategic communications consultant. When the opportunity arose to raise her children and focus more fully on creative writing, Steph decided it was time to take her "When I Grow Up" essay from third grade a bit more seriously.
If she's not busy writing at her desk in New York City, Steph is a sports and exercise enthusiast. She also enjoys playing guitar and piano with her two sons, going out on date nights with her husband, and reading. . .preferably poolside.
Reviews
"Steph Katzovi has written a story many who have had a camp experience will understand and relate to...[Noodle] prevails and comes out better for her experience. The writing is good, the dialogue is appropriate for the age, and it is a quick read."--The Manhattan Book Review
"Hurricamp! paints a joyous glimpse into life at sleepaway camp as the charming lead character, Noodle, works through her nerves as a first-time camper. The girls in Noodle's cabin start off as strangers but become lifelong friends as they go through (often humorous) ups and downs, while helping Noodle discover herself, her talents and her place in history at Camp Hillside." --Cynthia Ellingsen, Author of The Girls of Firefly Cabin
