my story
Susan has written lots of things, including a well-received humorous but meaningful church skit about the Feeding of the 5000, just under different names. The other names will not be disclose, as those days have passed. But the other works she has written are fair game.

other works
Although all authors are writers by definition, a writer per se is different from an author. In many cases, such as working on a company newsletter; writing corporate communications, company website and blog content; curricula; catalog content; advertising, promotions, public relations copy; and creating broadcast radio commercials – all of which Susan has done – one’s own name is not revealed.
In some cases, her’s was: She has written several newsletters for several companies, and when she became the editor of one newsletter, her married name was included on the masthead. Susan was also the contact person for one company and was mentioned as such in The Wall Street Journal.

editor & teacher
Susan has been editing other people’s writing since she started as a Vocational Office Education student secretary. (It was how she was able to “get paid” for finishing high school.) Not all secretaries are particularly good at editing, but enough are, so employers tend to throw editorial duties onto the secretary’s desk. They shouldn’t. Editing is a skill that is developed with study and practice. Those of us who got tired of having this skill added to our secretarial duties without compensating our paychecks found a way to become proofreaders, copy editors, and newsletter editors. Some took it a couple of notches higher and became news media and book editors. Susan chose a different path and upgraded my editing skills into teaching. You’ll find a LOT of editing in teaching grammar!
