Comments on ‘Tall’

“Whether you’re a six-footer or you top off at five feet, ["Tall"] is a reminder that how you measure yourself is more of a determiner of your success and well-being than any measure on a yardstick.”

– Judy Goldman

“Nancy Stancill takes readers on a grand adventure, from her early life as a painfully shy, 6-foot teenager, to a kickass reporter who learned that height can be power.”

– Cindy Montgomery

Author Nancy Stancill shared this note with her Facebook friends this afternoon:

“I’m excited to let you know that I’m pledging royalties from Saving Texas to an organization dear to my heart, Investigative Reporters and Editors.

“Royalties from the first thousand books sold will go to IRE’s endowment to support the Godfrey Wells Stancill Fellowship.

“The fellowship so far has paid expenses for six journalists from small papers to attend the IRE conference to learn investigative reporting techniques.

“My family raised money for the fellowship in memory of our wonderful dad, a lifelong newspaper guy. Details posted today on www.ire.org, the IRE’s website!”
