Heather Grace Stewart
Heather Grace Stewart is a poet and journalist who writes fast-paced, humorous and touching romance novels. The Ticket, a romantic comedy inspired by a true story, became an International Kindle bestseller. The Ticket and her novel Strangely, Incredibly Good were Top Ten Finalists in the Tale Flick Discovery Contest where books are selected to be adapted to the screen.
Heather is the author of 25 works. She's had over 300,000 copies downloaded and sold in print to readers around the world and all six of her novels have been published by Tantor or Dreamscape Media as audiobooks. Five of her novels were translated into Polish audiobooks and ebooks in 2022.
After receiving her BA (Honours) in Canadian Studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Heather attended Montreal's Concordia University for a graduate diploma in Journalism. She worked as chief reporter of a local paper and associate editor of Harrowsmith Country Life and Equinox magazines before starting her own freelance writing and editing business, Graceful Publications, in 1999.
Heather believes educating girls around the world is the answer to many problems. Since 2008, she has donated more than half the proceeds earned from her poetry sales to Unicef in the area of Education and especially Girls Education, as well as to The Red Cross and Because I Am A Girl, and will continue to donate to this cause with a portion of proceeds from both her poetry and novel sales.
In her free time, Heather loves to spend time with her husband and their awesome young adult who's in college, take photos, practice yoga, inline skate, garden, bake bread, dance like nobody's watching, and sample craft beer--usually not at the same time.

“You meet dozens of people who tell you you can't do it. Surround yourself with the people who believe you will do it. Seek out and spend time with those rare people who tell you, no BS, why you haven't done it yet, what it takes to do it, and how they could help you do it. Note how this advice works whether 'it' is robbing a bank, opening a gallery, or writing a bestseller. "It" is up to you. But you can't do it alone.”
“Don't over edit. Don't second-guess yourself, or your ideas. Just write. Write every day, and keep at it. Don't get discouraged with the rejections. Tape them up on your office wall, to remind you of all the hard work you put in when you finally start getting published! It's all about persistence and passion. And have fun with it. Don't forget to have fun.”
