About me
Hello! I'm Suzanne Alyssa Andrew, an author, writing instructor and the host of the Stardust and Courage podcast. I help writers like you to move past blocks and fears to express yourself fully in your voice, and in your power.
I emphasize courage, curiosity and compassion, and ways we can all write with more ease and enjoyment. Writing doesn't have to feel hard when we're having fun! Writing can be satisfying, and help us grow.
​
I'm here to help writers go deeper, grow and imagine. A big part of that is encouragement and empowerment.

Get a glow up for your mind and spirit by taking my course, The Sparkle Technique. Rediscover your sparkle with this creative reset for burnout recovery, block clearing and anxiety relief.

Book Coaching
Transform your writing practice with encouragement, support and valuable perspective. Choose my Authorship Book Development package for ongoing, dedicated one-on-one coaching (3 months or more). Or get an infusion of energy and enthusiasm along with exciting insights when you Story Jam with me.
My coaching methodology is heart-centred, backed by neuroscience and informed by my instructor/mentor training at the University of Toronto. I'd love to help make your book dreams come true!

My writing practice
My writing is an invitation for readers to see things in a new way. It's about expansiveness and solutions beyond the obvious. I love to play with perspective to show what might be different, and what’s possible. My novel, Circle of Stones, is an action-adventure love story that races across the country. Read stories from my forthcoming story collection.
