A little note in your inbox

Once a month, I’ll send a little note from my writing desk — what I’m working on, what’s going well, what isn’t, and the moments in between.

You’ll also hear about cover reveals, preorder links, giveaways, signed copies and the odd subscriber treat before everyone else.

But mostly, Susie’s News is a place for honest thoughts on books, life, love, family, midlife, and finding our way through the messy, beautiful bits.

A NOTE FROM SUSIE

WHY I WRITE
THIS LETTER

I started Susie's News because I wanted a way to talk to readers that wasn't a sales pitch.

Not "buy my book." Not "follow me here."

Just a proper letter.

A place to share what I’m writing, what I’m thinking, what's made me laugh, and what I hope might feel useful, or lovely.

I write for women who've been holding everything together for years. The least I can do is show up in their inbox with something real.

Susie x

Soft, pastel-toned reading nook by a window, featuring an open notebook and pen on a rustic table, a lavender mug, stacked books, glasses, a candle, and a vase of purple flowers, with lilac cushions and a garden view beyond.

This is for you if…

You’ve spent years looking after everyone else.

You love your family, but sometimes miss yourself.

You’re tired of being told midlife is about becoming invisible, when really, you feel there is still so much more to come.

You want stories with warmth, courage, friendship, complicated love, beautiful places, and women who are still learning how to choose themselves.

Pull up a chair. You’ll fit right in.

A letter, not a broadcast

01

Monthly — no more

Once a month, that's it. Susie's News will never fill your inbox. It arrives when it has something worth saying.

02

Always personal

Written by Susie herself — not a marketing team, not a template. If it sounds like a human being wrote it, that's because one did.

03

Easy to leave

Every email has an unsubscribe link. One click and you're gone — no guilt, no "are you sure?", no hard feelings whatsoever.
