I'm Susan, And I Love A Good Story

Story telling is the art of taking thousands of pieces of seemingly unrelated details (smells, scents, memories, passionate pursuits) and distilling them into a piece that communicates the essence of that experience. Everything and everyone has hundreds of stories, and most are worth sharing:

• The old oak tree that wasn't cut down, so the highway goes around it...
•  The man from Greece who runs a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's rated #1 in the county...
•  The gallery owner who quit her high-paying corporate job, because she loved art...

For my entire life, I’ve been intrigued and inspired by people’s stories, and my passion is capturing these stories in writing. My writing can be long, researched and detailed (for a book, or an in-depth website); shorter pieces (an article for a magazine or blog); a quick quip ( for social media campaign) or anything in between. If you have a story to tell, or something you’d like to share, let’s collaborate!
