Looking for a freelance health or environmental writer?
I write engaging, carefully-researched content on subjects ranging from eco-conscious landscaping and green cleaning to waste reduction and safe personal care products.
I’ve contributed often to The Upside and Eartheasy.com. My work has also appeared in Mother Earth Living, Northern Gardener, Sierra, and Ensia, as well as on Nature’s Nurture, Whole New Mom, Honey Colony, Independence Monthly, The Green Divas, KaraCarrero.com, BobBonBreak, SheKnows, Dollar Stretcher, The Hippy Homemaker, The Pistachio Project, Empowher, and Blogher. Check out my posts linked below to learn more.
Please contact me using the form below if you are looking for well-crafted, informative content for your blog or publication. I also do select sponsored posts if you are interested in having me help you promote your green or healthy product or service.
I am happy to speak to groups or organizations on any of the topics covered on this site, including eco-friendly landscaping, energy conservation, avoiding toxic chemicals, or using permaculture.
My first book, Everything Elderberry, covers elder’s long history of medicinal use, what the latest research tells us about its effect on health, as well as more than 60 delicious recipes for using elderflowers and elderberries. It involved months of research, dozens of interviews, and a ton of kitchen experiments. It contains information on elderberries and elderflowers you can’t find anywhere else.

“Susannah was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her fresh take on our product was informative and enlightening. Traffic to our website and on Amazon was considerably increased! I would definately recommend Susannah!”
