Susan B Strong — Author
Author, Survivor, Dreamer
"Writing is how I survived. Now I write so others know they can too."
I'm Susan B Strong — author of more than 15 books that range from whimsical children's stories to raw, unfiltered memoirs and heartfelt poetry. Every single word I've written comes from a place of lived experience, which means every book carries a piece of my real journey.
I grew up believing that my stories didn't matter — that who I was, where I came from, and what I'd been through wasn't worth writing down. It took years of healing, therapy, and sheer stubborn will to realize that the opposite was true: my stories are exactly what the world needs.
Today, I write for the little girl who needs to see herself reflected in a picture book. I write for the woman in the middle of a dark season who needs to know she's not alone. I write for anyone who has ever felt too much, loved too hard, and been told to shrink themselves. This is for all of us.
