Suzanne is nothing short of magic! We were in complete synchronicity. After listening to my story and project idea, she zeroed in exact and succinct steps to follow. She opened my mind to a new realm of possibilities and illuminated the importance and value of my mission to empower others. Moments before an important call […]

I came to Suzanne with a title and a brief outline for a book.  The first time I flew from Colorado to New England to meet with her, we spent a day building the book and, along with all the amazing work we did, she helped me see the idea I’d been carrying around was […]

I first met Suzanne when I signed up for one of her retreats.  As in all of Suzanne’s retreats, she encouraged us to read our work aloud, and I was terrified, sure I was going to embarrass myself.  My piece wasn’t even a page long.  Almost before I was done reading, Suzanne jumped out of […]

Suzanne Kingsbury was my fearless book shaman.  She helped me create a kick-ass brand, craft a bestselling book proposal and hooked me up with a super-connected agent who got me my first book deal!  I just quit my 9-5 office job and am on my way to doubling my income in my first year as […]

I came into retreat feeling blocked, distant from my writing, and rudderless.  When I came out, the intense work and deep nourishment of retreat had lifted me out of my busy life and grounded me again as a writer.  All important to the weekends’ work was the skillful and gentle shiatsu bodywork I received.  My […]

Suzanne has been my guiding light and inspiration.  Since working with Suzanne, my story has been shortlisted for one of the biggest memoir prizes in the publishing world, went viral on Salon.com, was chosen for their top ten essays of the year and picked up by NPR.  Most of all?  I understand the importance of […]

Our conversation, just like the last one, infused David and I to take this baby even farther, much farther.  Your memory of my writing, your listening skills, and your ability to see what’s possible and beyond is so invaluable.  However, we have come to the conclusion there is something else about you… hard to pinpoint, so we concluded […]

Thank you thank you thank you!  I was really blown away by spending time with you.  You are even more beautiful of a person than I imagined.  I will definitely be back on retreat.  It’s amazing to hit it off and make a connection with so many fascinating women.  I learned so much, made lifetime […]

I miss retreat!  I miss all of you guys already.  I just wanted to thank you for your smile, encouragement and the amazing experience of being in a room nestled, among incredible writers and feeling safe to share without embarrassment.  Thank you for making me listen to the positive things being said about my writing. […]

I signed up for retreat with Suzanne and Dede knowing that I loved to write, but unsure of what my next steps were.  I’d just been blogging for my own entertainment for the last five years, but I didn’t have a book project or anything.  I didn’t even know what I might get out of […]
