Freelance Writer/Editor, Book Doctor, and Journalist with global experience. Skilled in Branding, Content Development, Publishing, and Marketing/Advertising.Testimonial from Suzanne Cofer, a memoirist: "Susan helped me with the first edit of a memoir about my days in the classroom. She provided me with her line edit, but more importantly to me, she wrote a commentary about each chapter with insightful and useful questions that took me deeper into my memories to recapture more detail that would engage my readers. Grateful for her probing questions and kind words of encouragement! Highly recommend her services, especially to writers looking for an initial edit to find firmer ground and focus as they continue their writing process."Storytelling is my calling. When you share a great story--on brands, about businesses, in books--it becomes the lifeline, the sustainable connection between you and your customers. A great story influences and inspires them to include you in their work and in their lives. Creating a story that truly speaks to audiences, in my book, makes for the strongest, most sustainable success.Some of my qualifications as a storyteller include become a senior-level writing and editing consultant with years of experience in the U.S., Europe, and Africa, inclusive of all platforms--in print, online, and on-air. As a creative professional, I have been a key member of teams launching networks, books, products, and programs. I focus on business-building campaigns, high-impact communications, strategic reach, and peak performance. Versatility in content development has been the hallmark of my work with such name brands as Food Network, MTV, Bloomberg Media, Deloitte, NBC, and the United Nations.I am comfortable with a diversity of disciplines, from social enterprise and community outreach to multimedia organizations and international industries. In addition, I’ve been involved in content development for a number of websites, including restaurants, real estate, architecture to manufacturing, non-profits, and gourmet foods.A seasoned investigative journalist with over 200 published articles, I also possess a keen nose for story and proofreading with precision. That means I get to the bottom of issues and individuals to craft a profile that is compelling, well-researched, and highly readable. I’ve also edited novels, ghostwritten articles and memoirs, and crafted speeches for leading executives.
