Children’s books

Suzanne’s picture books include farmer’s market adventure Meeka, ode to fatherhood My Dad’s Weird Beard, and My Unicorn Farts Glitter – a tale of sibling love and farty bathtimes that has been translated into French and Spanish. Suzanne made her debut as an author-illustrator in the anthology Our Australian Heart. Suzanne has seven junior fiction novels being published 2024–25, including How to Build a Sky Garden and Mr Fuzzypants: Cyber Safety Star.

Book editing

Suzanne works with publishers and children’s book authors as a freelance editor to help make stories the best they can be. Children’s book authors can book manuscript assessments and editing any time, or enrol in the How to Write a Picture Book Mini Course, which also includes a manuscript assessment. For publishers, or authors with longer stories, please send Suzanne a message to discuss your needs.

Film, TV, theatre and beyond

As well as writing children’s books, Suzanne is a masters-qualified scriptwriter and producer. She’s worked on documentaries for the ABC and SBS, produced award-winning narrative content for non-profits, written the script for a video game for people with vision impairment, created a series of comic cabarets inspired by 1940s radio drama, and helped found a touring opera company – delivering sold-out productions. One of her big dreams is to write a story that makes it to the stage as a musical. If you’d like to collaborate, please get in touch.

Corporate communications

When she’s not pursuing creative projects, Suzanne works with purpose-led organisations to tell meaningful stories that inspire and unite. Her corporate communications experience includes strategic content creation for high-profile print and digital channels, managing and developing complex content ecosystems, and leading talented, multidisciplinary teams.
