Welcome Authors!

I am so happy to have you here, and I can't wait to help you take the next steps in your publishing journey!

My name is Susan, and I am a fiction editor and coach who helps authors—both traditional and indie—find their voice and strengthen their story so that they can publish with confidence and grow their author career.

I've worked in publishing for over ten years with traditional, indie, and app publishers, as well as debut, USA Today and NYT Bestselling authors. I am a member of the EFA, ACES, the CWiP, and a graduate of the NYU Publishing Program. 

I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my husband and my black lab, Moose, where I enjoy binge-watching dramas, singing (badly), and reading (no surprise there).

Connect with me on social media! I'd love to hear from you.

Testimonials

"I love working with Susan! I rest easy knowing that she will help me figure out how to make each book the best it can possibly be. She is both coach and cheerleader and I'm so grateful to have her in my corner! Susan has hands down made the greatest impact on my growth as a writer."

"Working with Susan has been an even more incredible experience than I imagined. I already loved my book (what author doesn't?), but Susan has helped me understand how I can take it to the next level. Highly, highly recommend working with her!"
