Susan Keatley is a writer living in Phoenix, Maryland. While getting her Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she would look longingly at copies of Science magazine and wish not to be published in the research section, but in the section upfront where someone wrote about what the research meant. Susan has written about science and other topics for the New York Times, the Simons Foundation, and the Princeton Alumni Weekly, and has been a moderator at the Newburyport Literary Festival in her hometown of Newburyport, Massachusetts. She is the creator and host of the Science Fare podcast, which connects what scientists do to what high school science students are learning. Her first novel is on submission and she is working on a second. She loves meeting and talking to writers and is thrilled to host the Manor Mill Writers Guild Prose night.
