Hometown: Gate City, Virginia

Contact Summer Stanley

Summer L. Stanley is communications editor for the marketing and communications department of a large healthcare organization in Northeast Tennessee. Previously she worked for several years as a copy editor and page designer for a daily newspaper. She received a bachelor’s degree in mass communication with a concentration in journalism from East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tenn.

She lies awake at night pondering punctuation and hyphenation, and she gets great joy out of catching typos on signs in public places. When not writing, she spends her spare time going to yoga classes, making attempts at craft projects and panicking over impending gift-giving holidays. Summer lives in a small town in Southwest Virginia with her wonderful husband, Garrett, and three cats, LeeLee, Penelope, and Thome.
