Meet writer Stef Fox
Stef has been helping stories take flight for over twenty years, first as a magazine journalist, then as a digital content creator and now as a memoir writer, novelist and of course podcaster.
She brings her editorial, technical and interviewing expertise to Cunny Corner, asking the questions, steering the conversations ... and cutting it all together in the editing room.
A specialist memoir writer, Stef has written nearly forty books for clients across the world and from all walks of life. "Everyone has a story to tell," she says. "For some, it's getting down their life story for younger generations, perhaps with details about family members who have passed on. Others want to document a particular event in their lives and its effects, while some want to publish the story of their professional journey. To see someone finally hold copies of their book in their hand is incredibly satisfying." Read more about memoir packages at YourWriter.

For the past 90 years the case has remained unsolved but Stef has been able to piece together the events surrounding the crime, thanks to her discovery of a file of original police and court documents and intrepid historical research.
