I’ve heard Susan speak in many different professional forums and have always appreciated her industry experience as an author, librarian, bookstore buyer, and judge for major literary awards — including the Caldecott Medal and the Sydney Taylor Book Award. Basically, she’s the perfect person to ask what I call “unanswerable questions.”

As soon as I heard she was offering consultations, I booked a slot through her Calendly (super easy!) and was relieved to see that her rates were affordable. We had an hour together where I had time to ask all my questions. She gave honest, helpful answers and didn’t mind that my questions were all over the map — exactly what I needed. She also gave me fabulous follow-up materials that saved me a lot of time and in-depth research.

I encourage you to gather your own questions and book time with Susan. She really helped me navigate this complex industry while listening carefully and taking into consideration my specific character, situation, goals, and dreams. Highly recommended.

I hired Susan to help me get going on some historical fiction projects. Susan asked probing questions to ensure that she understood my intentions. Her research was accurate and her report to me was well-organized and easy to understand. In fact, she provided more than I knew I needed. Hiring Susan was a great move, and I highly recommend her!
