Meet the Author! Angie Mizzell Signing “Girl in the Spotlight”

We’re hosting a special book signing on December 9th when TV journalist Angie Mizzell will be at Main Street Reads to sign her fascinating new memoir, Girl in the Spotlight. Especially excited about this one, readers, since Angie and I had the privilege of serving on Charleston’s Center for Women board together – and she’s fantastic!

By age 25, Angie Mizzell was a morning news anchor at a top-rated television station. She had married her college sweetheart, and scenes from their wedding day ran on the evening news. She’d achieved everything her mom had wanted for her and what she thought she wanted for herself.

But after signing with an agent who promised to take her career to the next level, Angie began to realize that a future in the spotlight would not dim a past filled with childhood trauma and loss. As a television journalist, she’d made a living by exploring and reporting other people’s stories; it was time to examine her own.

In her coming-of-age memoir, “Girl in the Spotlight,” Angie shares a heartfelt and hopeful story of arriving at a crossroads, getting lost in the darkness, learning to let go, and finding her way back home.

Angie Mizzell is a writer, a mom and a former local TV news anchor. She’s the author of “Hello Friday,” a weekly newsletter on Substack where she explores ways to feel at home where we live, in our relationships, in our work and within. She lives in West Ashley with her husband and their three children.
