Welcome to your literary family. I can’t wait to write with you!

Suzanne

"Gateless has given me the motivation, encouragement, confidence and freedom to create in ways I never could have imagined. Suzanne believed in me before I believed in myself. I’m so incredibly thankful to be part of this magical world. Dreams really do come true."

~ Parker Riggs, New York Times bestselling author of, A Treacherous Trader

"I have been to Gateless retreat, am an alumni of the Gateless Academy and worked one:one with Suzanne. Without this experience I wouldn’t have had a proposal that landed me a dream agent, and, now, a book deal with Hatchette for my first book. Without Suzanne, I’m sure I’d still be in the endless “still chipping away” phase of a blobby manuscript. Instead, I’ll soon be writing her into the acknowledgments of a real, live book!"

~ Laura Belgray, Critically-acclaimed author, Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-ing Worst

"Since working with Suzanne and Gateless, my story has been shortlisted for one of the biggest memoir prizes in the publishing world, went viral online, was chosen for Salon.com’s top ten essays of the year and picked up by NPR.  The Gateless method has life-changing power."

~ Kathleen Murray Moran, Author, Life Detonated: The True Story of a Widow and a Hijacker
