From workshop participants to editorial collaborators, these are the voices of people who have worked directly with Susan Brearley.
"Susan combines visionary thinking with the rare ability to actually make things happen. When I worked with her to build an automated editorial system for the Garden of Neuro's suite of Medium publications, she brought concrete ideas, practical solutions, and the willingness to fund the right tools — including AI-content detection. The result was a scalable system that dramatically reduced editorial drudge work, freeing editors to focus on what matters: improving actual writing. Working with someone so invested in innovation, and so committed to getting it right, was a genuine pleasure."
Andrew R. — Software Developer & Editorial Collaborator
"Susan Brearley is an anchor for anyone who writes, reads, and enjoys sharing work — whether in progress or complete. Her advocacy and energy are boundless. The Garden of Neuro sustained me through COVID, connecting me with wonderful writers across the world. Her ongoing work — book clubs, editing, workshops — has broadened access to writers everywhere, and I am eternally grateful for it."
Tina H. — Writer & Community Member
"I have worked with Susan Brearley in two workshops: Write Like Stephen King and the Mystery Writers intensive. Both were immensely helpful. The most important lessons were learning to write with purpose and to finish — to get to the goal line. Her coaching method is exactly what I need: a light touch on critique, a heavy hand with sincere praise."
