J.L. Stevens is deputy managing editor, features, at Seacoast Newspapers. This includes oversight of Spotlight magazine, and the weekly hard-hitting iT features feature, EXPOSURE: An interrogation of ordinary people. She began her career with the paper in September, 2002, after serving the arts and entertainment community in neighboring Dover, N.H. for about seven years. She doesn't like writing about herself in the third person, and loves the uplifting music of Bill Morrissey.
