Susan Huxley is a nationally published author and editor who has written and edited books, magazine articles, and patterns for almost two decades.

She can develop a book from concept to publication, writes and ghostwrites instructions, edits the work of other authors, and makes process samples for photography. She has organized and styled fashion and step-by-step photo shoots; spearheaded the publication of books, magazines, and sewing patterns; designed garments; produced brochures; and tried her best to keep her fabric and yarn stashes under control.

Nurtured in a family of stitchers, Susan developed an appreciation for the needle arts at an early age. This passion inevitably merged with her publishing career. The process started with the clothing and textiles program at the University of Alberta, Canada, and a stint in Journalism at Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto, Canada. At an introductory lecture, one of the Ryerson instructors asked students why they were in school when it is possible to get a journalism job without a degree. "Why, indeed?" thought Susan.

A little over a year later she abandoned Ryerson to accept her first job as a newspaper reporter. This led to a full-throttle pursuit of excellence at several magazines and newspapers, the completion of a publishing certificate at Ryerson, and immigration to the United States. Susan now lives in a 150-year-old home in historic downtown Easton, Pennsylvania, with her husband and standard poodle.

Susan had key roles in the books "Serger Secrets," "Sewing Secrets from the Fashion Industry," "Secrets for Successful Sewing," "The Insider’s Guide to Stabilizers," and Sandra Betzina’s "No Time to Sew" and "Power Sewing Step-by-Step." Her newest books are "Today's Crochet: Sweaters from the Crochet Guild of America" and "Crocheted Sweaters: Simple Stitches, Great Designs." Susan also developed, edited, and packaged Crocheted Aran Sweaters for Martingale & Company.

Susan was the managing editor of a national Canadian craft magazine called "Crafts Plus," demonstrated serger techniques on the television channel QVC, and taught at an American Sewing Guild national convention and two annual national conferences held by the Crochet Guild of America. Susan also hosts a serger retreat twice a year, and teaches at chapters, guilds, and stores across the country.

Susan's company, Huxley Communications LLC, produces writing and editing on a wide range of subjects that includes advertising, crochet, health, home décor, marketing, pets, quilting, serging, and sewing. One of the divisions, the Sew'n Tell Studio, edits and contract publishes patterns and books for select clients.
