Suzanne Elson Author

Emigrating from Scotland to Canada at the age of ten, Suzanne already had a thirst for reading. This love continued as she added writing to the mix, with short stories in high school and poetry in university. Pausing to raise her three sons and to start her long career as an ESL teacher, Suzanne resumed her writing during the quiet of the pandemic. She initially focused on picture books, but has recently made the switch to middle grade, and is having the time of her life- the spookier the better, especially if it involves anything camping! Though Suzanne has ideas for a YA novel, she is staying in the middle grade lane for now. Feel free to contact Suzanne if you have any questions about her writing journey.

Suzanne had several poems and short stories published while completing her BA in English Literature, then took a break from writing to raise her three sons. Suzanne furthered her education, then taught ESL for 20 years. She is now on hiatus from teaching to write full time, mostly picture books and middle grade. When Suzanne isn’t writing, she’s creating new memories with her husband and boys, her beautiful grandbabies, and at a campground – if she’s lucky, all at the same time.
