Susan Wallenburg

Susan Wallenburg from Emmen, the Netherlands didn’t always enjoy stories. As a child, she dreaded the required school reading list. It wasn’t until she became a mother in 2004 that her passion for stories began. Together with illustrator Mayon Middeljans, she created her first picture book, Sandman Is Angry. They entered the book in Clavis Publishing’s 2020 International Key Colours Competition, reaching a top 7 spot and winning a publishing contract. This achievement motivated Susan to continue writing stories of all kinds, from picture books to YA thrillers. She’s thrilled that her creative adventures are finding their way to readers.
