Canadian-born former copywriter / content marketer Suzan St Maur is the author of 37 published books, some of which have been organic (genuine, not 'helped!') Amazon No.1 bestsellers.

She now works as an author coach and publishing consultant, helping others to get their passions out into print and other media ... having brought together her own experience of writing books, getting them published and using her marketing/advertising skills to promote them.

Suzan is also the founder of award-winning website resource, 'How To Write Better with Suzan St Maur.' https://howtowritebetter.net

HER BACKGROUND...

Canadian born Suzan St Maur was transported to the UK when a child and despite resultant cultural challenges managed to graduate from British high school, but with no talent for anything other than writing - so her career options were fairly clear cut...

Afterwards she attended and graduated from the then-famous Watford Art School advertising writing/visual communications course and worked in London ad agencies as a copywriter for a few years, before deciding she was far too bolshie to be an employee and so became a freelancer.

Since then she has worked as a video/TV scriptwriter and producer, a speechwriter, a copywriter, a marcoms consultant, a business writing/blogging trainer, a keynote speaker and various other guises ... but always with the common link of writing. She works mainly in the UK but also spends several weeks a year working in her native Canada (Ontario), where she has many friends and family.

PERSONAL STUFF...

Suzan has had cancer twice and now works extensively (voluntary basis) leading an award-winning charity of cancer patient representatives in south-central England. This group is a partnership with health professionals in acute and primary care plus support groups and other cancer resources/charities across the region.

The partnership is achieving very positive and pro-active progress in improving communication and resources for cancer patients and carers. More on that here - www.MKCPP.org.

Before health issues intervened Suzan was a keen horse rider and to this day she is very involved in the equestrian discipline of 'dressage.' Other hobbies include writing restaurant reviews, joke books, and rather potty-mouthed but very funny poetry ... and of course spending time with her son, their family in Canada and friends both online and offline everywhere.
