September 2026: Mary Alice Stephens
Mary Alice Stephens is a captivating storyteller whose best-selling memoir, Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over, reveals her raw, humorous, and profoundly inspiring journey from alcohol-fueled chaos to a life of clarity, connection, and self-acceptance. This #1 Amazon new release in alcoholism recovery and #4 bestseller in midlife self-help earned the 2026 PenCraft Award for Motivational Nonfiction and the 2026 International Book Award for Addiction/Recovery. A former writer-producer for HGTV, Food Network, and other media outlets, Mary holds an MFA in creative writing from Dominican University of California and resides in Marin County, California.
