I wanted to be a veterinarian or a girl Davy Crockett when I grew up. As it turns out, I became a writer. It still surprises me. I've written several nonfiction books on natural history and two illustrated children's books, and my essays, articles, and short stories have appeared in a variety of national magazines and anthologies. (If you feel like it, see feature work and bibliography for details.) In addition to working on my own writing I'm a professional copywriter, puzzling out the best ways to convey other people's ideas too. If it needs to be communicated in writing, in a clear and lively way, I can pretty much do it: catalog and brochure copy, letters, press releases, magazine and newsletter articles, annual reports, blogs, online marketing blasts, web content, or any other contemporary iteration of the smoke signal. I'm good at matching an organization's existing voice, or can create a new one. My writing has a broad range because my life has been one grand survey of topics and experiences. Born and raised in Kentucky, my restless nature pushed me north and west soon after I graduated from high school. I lived in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for many years, working a variety of jobs including bull cook in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, commercial fisher, print shop photolithographer, waitress, flower delivery driver, mining claim staker, energy use advisor, and wildlife information officer. Somewhere in there I graduated from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. I moved to the Gallatin Valley of Montana in 1991 and it was so beautiful, I never left. If I can help you communicate, or if you have anything you'd like to communicate to me, please email me at susan@ |
