Within the Scope

February 18th, 2020

While my friends write their truths in nearby cabins, I wear my silence like a bulletproof vest.

Laura Stanfill started unpacking secrets and acknowledging old scars after a 2014 traumatic brain injury set her voice free. As the publisher of Forest Avenue Press, she amplifies authors, celebrates literary community, and increases industry transparency. Her work has earned her a scholarship to attend the Yale Publishing Course, a Publishers Weekly Star Watch honoree designation, and a Literary Arts publishing fellowship. She believes in the power of storytelling and wishes on indie bookstores like stars.
