Stacy Estep grew up in the northeast and the midwest before moving south in the nineties. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta (a brittle bone disorder), she developed a love of writing and making things with her hands while recuperating from numerous childhood fractures. In 2014, she was awarded a writing residency at the Vermont Studio Center. She lives in a century-old shotgun house just outside of Atlanta with her artist husband and their cat.
