Stephanie Trevorrow

Stephanie Trevorrow recently moved back to St. John’s after eleven restless years of living everywhere but here. After earning a BA from Dalhousie University, she went on to become a tree-planter, waitress, art gallery assistant and late-night free-style spoken word poet. Now she’s a mom. She lives with her two little sons and her ever-so patient husband and does her best writing in her sleep.
