If you're looking for a sharp eye, Suzanne Supplee is by far the best editor for the job. Beginning in my sophomore year of high school, Suzanne served as my writing teacher at George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology in Towson, Maryland. A successful published author herself, Suzanne knows both the writing and editing side of the business. Over the course of my senior year, she single-handedly edited my novel along with the books of my thirteen classmates (that’s fourteen books to edit, folks!). Throughout my time in her classroom, she improved my writing tenfold and never ceased to inspire me. Whether you've known Suzanne for four years or four minutes, you can always expect genuine care and compassion. But don’t fooled; she will never beat around the bush with any issues in your work. A strong editor knows how to give honest and helpful criticism and Suzanne is no different. Leaving no stone unturned—no plot hole left unplugged—she fully explores your work. While attentive to both the small details and bigger picture of a work, Suzanne makes sure not to monopolize your submission with her own ideas. Instead, she uses her edits to help guide you toward a solution. There are rarely ever "easy answers" for writers, but Suzanne helps you find the answer that is wholeheartedly "you." Not only does she care about every piece of writing that crosses her desk, but she also sincerely wishes to help you grow as a writer. Whenever I met with Suzanne to discuss editing notes, her enthusiasm was contagious. You could tell that, while this is a job for her, it is so much more than that. She really does care about her writers and the work that they produce. I left every editing session, my head swimming with new ideas and hands dying to get back to the keyboard. The only criticism that I could possibly muster is that, under Suzanne's editing expertise, there are going to be a lot more strong writers that I'm going to have to compete with. I can say without a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be the writer that I am today had I not had Suzanne Supplee as my editor.

I have had the pleasure of having Suzanne as my creative writing teacher for three years, and she has been nothing short of fantastic. As a published author herself, Suzanne knows both the writer and editor side to the writing process. She has edited everything from short stories, to flash fiction—Suzanne has also edited in complete, my novel (along with my classmates). She has offered insightful critiques through the entire process. Her edits are always honest, and helpful. It’s obvious that she cares about every writer, and every piece that comes her way. Suzanne has helped me grow so much as a writer, and I know I would not have become the writer I am now, had it not been for her.

Suzanne Supplee encouraged me towards completion of my first complete collection of poetry over the course of a year. While Suzanne holds the majority of her publications in young adult fiction, her area of expertise does not prevent her from providing excellent, constructive feedback on poetry as well. In fact, I think it bolsters it. With an extensive background in professional publishing, you can count on feedback aimed at helping you revise to publish. If there is an adjective I would use to describe her talent as an editor, it would most certainly be versatile--not only in how she reaches you in whatever genre you are writing, in any form, but in the breadth of critique you will receive from her. A year later, I still (and will continue to) find myself to be very grateful for her investment in my work!

Suzanne is a fantastic editor- knowledgeable, precise, and cogent. Beyond that, she is sensitive to the style and needs of the writer. She’ll take time to understand what you really want to say, and help you say it well. She has helped me with many projects and her expertise and support have been invaluable.

I've been in marketing for 20+ years, yet writing my own bio proved to be one of my most difficult challenges. I kept leaning on the typical corporate BS bingo which made me look like everyone else out there. Suzanne's combination of empathy, encouragement and writing expertise was exactly what I needed to get through the process. Now I have an excellent bio that truly represents my skills, but more importantly, my personality. Thank you Suzanne!
