About

Susan Courtad is used to being called many things by the many people in her life:

Mom. Wife. Blogger. Writer.

(Occasionally, ”multitasking madwoman” or “hey, crazy lady!” but we won’t go there.)

Her writing has been described by readers and editors in just as many ways, too:

Inspiring. Warm. Thoughtful. Funny.

Whether in her writing or life at large, Susan exudes the same “can do,” down-to-earth attitude. People may call it different things; she prefers to think of it as just keeping it real.

Susan first discovered her passion for writing way back in the fourth grade after completing a highly acclaimed [by her mother and teacher] undersea short story. Yet, it took another 25 years of school papers, corporate memos, business plans and the occasional love letter before her creative tendencies resurfaced. She resumed her writing journey at the tender age of 35 with a short story and then an essay. And then another essay and another. Eventually, she wrote quite a lot, including her first novel and what would become a successful humor and single parenting blog called One-Woman Show. A passion was re-born!

Susan’s humor essays have been published in Chicken Soup for the Working Mom’s Soul, on Nickelodeon’s ParentsConnect.com and in her “Dinner for One” divorce and single parenting column at The ImperfectParent. Today, she is a freelance writer and blogger.

When she’s not writing, Susan likes to spend time with family and friends, read, work out half-heartedly and sleep. Somehow she never gets to sleep as much as she’d like.
