Get to know Susan 🤩 Fun fact about yourself? I was a featured speaker at my high school graduation.   What’s one thing you’ve done that you’d advise others never to try? Sneak your friends into a drive-in movie. There might be police involved if you get caught.   Which do you prefer: Talking on the phone or texting? I believe it’s much more fun talking over the phone rather than typing back and forth! Hardcover or paperback? I absolutely LOVE collecting beautiful hardcover books especially colorful home décor books and cookbooks.

What is your least favorite food? Liver and onions – tasted it once as a kid and will never eat it again. Absolutely awful! What is some advice you have for someone interested in going into the publishing field? Connect with various people in the business so you can get to know the different facets of the publishing world and discover what interests you most. We are so thankful to have Susan McPherson on our team! 💛
