“I’m Susan M. Brackney. I’ve worked as a professional writer since 1995 and began specializing in the natural world in 2000. In that time, I’ve written for Boy Scouts, stoners, interventional radiologists, would-be beekeepers, depressives, the one percent, and many other walks of life.

Although I can work as a generalist, organic gardening, beekeeping, green living, and nature are my main areas of focus. Some of my past print clients have included The New York Times, Boys’ Life Magazine, Organic Gardening, Hobby Farms, and Indianapolis Monthly Magazine, among others. (Hey, why not take a look at my writing samples?)”
