I'm curious... when was your book released? It sounds like such a wonderful source for stutterers themselves as well as for non-stutterers trying to learn and connect with people who stutter. It sounds like you've heard back from many readers. Earlier in your paper you mentioned that you chose not to publish stories of people who haven't yet learned to cope with their stuttering. I realize your book intends to be uplifting (I’m very excited to read it!), but I'm confused as to why you chose to omit all of those stories. I'm sure there are stutterers out there who don't have it all figured out yet, and I would wonder if reading all of the stories about people who DO have it figured out may make them feel alone. I just wonder if there are any stories of a stutterer who knows they have not yet come to terms with their stuttering, but are working towards it. In a sense, that might be uplifting as well.
