    About this ebook

  • Most books on stuttering are academic in nature, so there are few personal accounts on how sufferers felt, coped, and overcame stuttering.
  • The catalyst for the author writing this book came when he was performing Aladdin (he's the Genie). Part of the act is to bring a young kid on stage. The kid he chose had a terrible stutter, and Scott could feel himself being transported back to the humiliation and isolation he felt as a kid and for the next thirty-three years.
  • Although 1 percent of the population stutters, that translates to 60 million Americans who end up reading a wide array of How To Stop Stuttering books, but never read a book by someone who knows how they feel. He offers readers ways to cope with the psychological toll the stutterer experiences by revealing his own pain.
  • Scott has the support of the Stuttering Foundation, National Stuttering Association, and The Speech and Stuttering Institute, and he will be doing workshops and talks at their various functions.

      Nobody died that year. Nobody prospered. There were no births or marriages. Seventeen reverent satires were written – disrupting a cliché and, presumably, creating a genre. That was a dream, of course, but many of the most important things, I fi nd,

      Staring at the bright stage light ahead, I held up my script. Reading out my lines, I spoke clearly, loudly, and passionately, just like I’d practiced. At 10 years old, I was auditioning for a school play, and was filled with confidence. I’ve got th
