Steph Mineart

As a child, Steph Mineart wanted to be a magazine writer or a novelist. One of her favorite childhood toys was a real working typewriter, which she used to make up stories that her brothers then stole and read out loud, making fun of her. Maybe that's why she ended up being a web designer instead, although she jumped at the chance to fulfill her childhood dream by writing for IndyScribe.

A native Hawkeye, Steph moved to Indiana in 1982, right after junior high. After graduating from Noblesville High School in 1986, she scored a degree in Journalism from Ball State U. in 1991 (along with an always useful second degree in philosophy). Then she got the hell out of Muncie, moving to downtown Indianapolis and never looking back.

Steph is a homeowner in Herron-Morton Place neighborhood, and resides in a 110-year-old Victorian with her dog and three cats. She has an undisguised preference for downtown living.

An obsessed reader with a huge personal library, Steph is involved with two separate reading groups and subscribes to both Entertainment Weekly and the Utne Reader

She is also a road-trip enthusiast with a penchant for day trips, local color, and photographing roadside attractions and advertising art. She's a website designer for a London-based media company and has a large personal website of her own.
