Susan Brooks has loved books since she first got her hands on Go, Dog. Go! By P.D. Eastman as a toddler. She has many years of editorial experience and has a master’s degree in publishing from The George Washington University. She was on the board of directors for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, a non-profit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting, encouraging, and educating fiction writers from 2009 to 2019.

​

She is a lover of cats and cares for Ragnar and Ziggy, two rescues who rule the house and expect breakfast and dinner at exacting times. 

​

Susan is looking for mystery thriller, esoteric or metaphysical fiction, westerns, urban fantasy and paranormal, and fresh twists on romance and women's fiction.

 

My dream manuscript is A beautifully written, tightly paced adult novel featuring compelling characters, emotional depth, and just enough action to keep the story driving forward—something I simply can’t put down.

When she’s not editing or reading, she's most likely gardening or making music.

Cindy’s looking for fantasy, sci-fi, and YA fantasies and sci-fi.
