Free-writing a YA novel about the Rosary & mystical experiences, with Stephanie Engelman

Free-writing a YA novel about the Rosary & mystical experiences, with Stephanie Engelman

Stephanie used to be Methodist and Atheist, before converting to Catholicism. Strangely, free rosaries kept showing up in her life. One day, she decided to free-write a novel, and used NaNoWriMo to get it underway. Rewriting is usually a slog, but this novel was a easy to write! Her publisher leapt at it. Stephanie’s story is proof that not all novels are treks through Mordor, but can be a breeze – perhaps! (Plus, learn about her upcoming graphic novel!)
