Susan Zangler
Writer, editor, book coach. Susan takes your ideas, your words and your manuscript to a higher level.
Susan sent her first story (about a carrot who didn’t want to be eaten!) off to a magazine when she was just eleven years old. She has been writing ever since.
Local newspapers, business publications, promotional material, advertising copy, ghost writer, even book blurbs and a textbook on magic. She has worked at major publishing houses and was co-founder with her husband of a New York City advertising agency. In recent years she has developed modern marketing platforms for the financial services industry.
Words have always been important to her and reading is a passion. Susan runs several book groups and has created The Ultimate Book Group, which looks closely at how the nuts and bolts of writing helps tell the story.
