Life and career

Preston developed a speech impediment at seven years old, and attempts to correct it met with failure.[2] She graduated from Durham University (Hatfield College) with a degree in history in 2005.[3][4]

Following university, she worked for a year as a journalist but found her stuttering made her job difficult.[4] She then became an investment writer for an asset management firm before moving to the United States, where she began researching and writing about stuttering.[4]

Her memoir, Out With It: How Stuttering Helped Me Find My Voice, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2013.[5]
