Susanna Beard


After graduating with a degree in Linguistics from Reading University, Susanna embarked on a successful career in public relations, eventually running her own PR agency. In 2015, having always held an ambition to write fiction, she took the six-month Writing a Novel course at the Faber Academy and her first psychological thriller, What Happened That Night, was published in 2017.

She writes dark, contemporary stories with strong female characters, often set in interesting places, and she loves travelling for research. She is a regular interviewee on radio, at literary festivals, in libraries and at book club meetings.

Susanna loves wildlife and enjoys developing the plots for her stories on long walks in the countryside with her dog. She has two grown-up children and lives in Buckinghamshire.
