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.
