Susan Johnston's Biography

Biography

Susan Johnston

Writing has been my passion ever since I won honorable mention in a Cricket magazine contest for my compelling account of a female stowaway on a pirate ship. That was almost fifteen years ago. Since then, I've written many more short stories, press releases, feature articles, and more. Back in high school, I won two National Scholastic Writing Awards, and I still consider "Femesis," my award-winning post-feminist Biblical tale, to be my funniest work to date.

More recently, I've honed my writing skills by studying writing with Media Bistro and Grub Street, as well as earning a Bachelor of Science in Communication from Boston University. In addition to my experience in public relations, copywriting, and project management, I freelance for publications including The Boston Globe, DailyCandy.com, and Self magazine. I have also contributed guest blog posts to The Brazen Careerist, The Budget Fashionista, Employee Evolution, InkThinker, and others.
