Known as The Book Doula for “cause publishing,” Susie believes that books are the gateway to creating a movement. Her love of books goes far beyond the feel of a fabric cover or the smell of a library. Whether writing a book helps an author heal past trauma or raise awareness for social change, Susie empowers storytellers to be part of the global conversation and create a ripple effect for humanity. Working with executives, coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and business owners brings her tremendous joy, particularly when an author shares their own personal story and how it connects to their mission, message, and community.
