This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, host & producer George Sirois sits down with author Steph Katzovi. While in the third grade, Steph declared in an essay that when she grew up, she would become a writer. That drive to write for a living never fully went away, even when she went through law school and worked as a strategic communications consultant for Deloitte. Two decades after writing that essay, Steph wrote Hurricamp, the first in the young adult Camp Hillside series, and she made the decision to switch to writing full-time. To this day, Steph is still writing full-time and she is thrilled to announce the latest Camp Hillside book, Miscommunicamp, while working on the third and final book of this trilogy.

The Excelsior Journeys podcast exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
