Welcome to Susan Troutt

Books can take readers to places they have never been and teach them about experiences they never thought possible.  An old Chinese proverb says that "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket."

My name is Susan Troutt, and I am the author of The How-to Joke, Jake the Detective, The Child Pirate, and Pirates to the End.  As a retired teacher, I know how important it is for children to love reading.

But reading and writing go hand in hand.  Being a writer has afforded me the opportunity to discuss my books with so many students and to talk with them about writing.  During my motivational, fun-filled presentations about imagination and my workshops with inventive story ideas, students in grades 3 – 8 turn into eager, enthusiastic writers who are excited about creating stories of their own.  Kids can't wait to start writing!

To schedule a school visit, please contact me at sjtroutt@fuse.net or call me at 859/586-5297.
