Stephanie Fletcher – Editor

A former big-five senior editor specializing in food & cooking, home & garden, and other lifestyle nonfiction. Always calm under pressure.

Overview

I have over a decade of experience editing and writing food and lifestyle content, most recently at Harvest/HarperCollins, where I specialized in cookbooks and other illustrated nonfiction. My authors included best-selling and acclaimed chefs, experts, influencers, and storytellers.


As an editor and collaborator I'm known for my unflappable calm and my commitment to an author's voice and vision.


I cut my teeth at Martha Stewart Living and have strong expertise in all topics related to house and home, especially cookbooks but also the categories of garden, design, DIY, organization, and health & wellness.


Based in NYC, I'm also experienced in Americanizing text, including recipes.
