Suzanne Young – Editor

Suzanne is a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of more than 20 novels, including THE PROGRAM, GIRLS WITH SHARP STICKS, POET ANDERSON (co-authored with Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge), and Bram Stoker finalist WHAT STAYS BURIED. Her books are published in multiple languages and several of her projects have been optioned for film. Suzanne has spent close to two decades teaching writing, and has worked across corporate, creative, and international environments.

Throughout her publishing career, Suzanne has had the chance to work with some of the best editors in the business, and develop those relationships. She also hosts an annual writing retreat in Italy where she brings together writers, editors, agents, and film producers for an educational and inspiring journey--along with a lot of great wine.

Suzanne has mentored writers at all stages of their careers, helping with everything from editorial development, copy editing, proofreading, query writing, and agent and editor recommendations. She is an encouraging partner who puts her heart into her work, always pushing to develop an author's voice rather than change it.

She specializes in young adult and adult thriller novels, but she also loves romance, horror, and fantasy. In addition, she has spent years in senior marketing for a Fortune 10 company, developing brand voice and technical writings. Suzanne also works with several film producers, directors, and screenwriters.
