Full synopsis

This Writing Business is a captivating memoir detailing Susan Elkin’s unexpected journey from secondary school English teacher to accomplished, wide-ranging journalist and author.

When she encountered a promotional glass ceiling in teaching, Susan ventured into writing, beginning with opinion pieces for national newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph and The Times. From there, she quickly expanded her repertoire to cover topics as varied as woodwork, vegetarian cookery, theatre, classical music, and even the English wine industry. Her writing career soon became so diverse and successful that she transitioned to part-time teaching before fully committing to her newfound path.

Over the years, Susan has authored 54 books, including English textbooks, study guides, and books on theatre, while contributing to a wide array of publications. With warmth, wit, and humility, This Writing Business recounts her inspiring transformation and reveals the joys and challenges of a life dedicated to the written word.
