Hi, I’m Suzanne, an independent developmental editor who works with thriller, mystery, and literary suspense writers on story development, novel structure, and revision strategies. As a big-picture editor, I love helping writers find and utilize the core concept of their novel (what the story is really about) to strengthen and shape the narrative elements in their manuscript.  

 

Besides editing, I also write short stories and am currently at work on a literary suspense novel. I hold an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a Certificate in Editing and Publishing from UCLA.

 

In my down time, you can usually find me snuggling with my 14-year-old labradoodle, watching true-crime documentaries, or making endless pots of coffee.
