What Authors are Saying.....
Wendy Fachon, Author
Susan did an amazing job of leading our discussions & trainings & keeping everyone accountable to the publication schedule. She is highly intuitive, & pushed me, in the way I needed to be pushed, to dig down into myself realize how FELT about the loss of my son: "Yes, but I want to hear more of YOUR story?" This experience has made me a better, more expressive writer. -
Elizabeth Phinney, Author
Susan Lataille is a dynamic, yet humble woman, who takes her mission seriously. Somehow, she takes that mission & turns it into a loving & intentional project, uniting all who are involved towards their one goal. In the process, those who are involved benefit from her constructive oversight & cohesive guidance. It has been an uplifting experience I shall never forget. -
Barbara Barry, Author
Susan was a compassionate & passionate leader through the writing & publishing process: assembling our group, establishing a safe space for sharing, & helping us bond with each other, write, learn, process our emotions, edit our stories, & to celebrate publication & share the good news with the world that we produced a valuable resource for others who are grieving.
Michelle Girasole, Author
Susan is a true professional. She guided the way, creating community & managing the moving parts of such a big project. She definitely pushed us out of our comfort zones to "Go deeper" into the real emotions of our stories. This made the creative writing outcome a richer story for the reader to identify with & will connect readers to the author's stories the most.
Mary Kate O'Leary, Author
Susan is not only a professional, meaning a task master in meeting deadlines and pushing you to your goals, but she is also a compassionate expert in grief. She understands how it can control you or you can control it! She had given me so many tools to address all my losses as well focus on the future. She is amazing!
