Steph Moon has spent 15+ years in marketing and publicity roles inside traditional publishing, leading campaigns for New York Times bestsellers and working with publishers including Chronicle Books, HarperCollins, Scholastic, and Hardie Grant. She's a three-time IACP judge, a regular conference speaker, and the founder of Steph Moon Co, where she works closely with cookbook authors, children's book creators, and thought leaders to help their work reach the right audience.

Stephanie is the bridge between authors and publishers. She helps authors treat their book like the beginning (not the end goal) by building the platform, relationships, and strategy that drive long-term visibility and sales. She tells you everything she wishes the hundreds of authors she's worked with had known from day one.

Off the clock, she's a cookbook lover, a fast reader, and a serial DIYer with a Type Z personality… unless you ask her to plan a party or build a system for someone else to use, in which case the spreadsheets come out. She builds community because she genuinely loves people, and that's exactly the kind of relationship-first thinking she brings to every author she works with.

Follow her on Instagram or read The FAQs, her Substack where she answers the questions she gets asked most by authors and shares honest insight into how book marketing and publishing actually work.
