SUSAN G. WEIDENER

Susan G. Weidener: A former staff writer with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Susan started the Women's Writing Circle in 2009. The Women's Writing Circle is a place to share stories through monthly read around and critique and writing workshops. The group's aim is to break the isolation of writing and join in camaraderie and goodwill, finding in writing a way to heal, to empower and to find voice. All genres and experience levels are welcome.

Susan is author of Again in a Heartbeat, a memoir of love, loss and dating again, about being widowed at a young age and a Story Circle Network selection as one of the best memoirs of 2011. Two years later, she wrote and published its sequel, Morning at Wellington Square, a woman’s search for passion and renewal in middle age. Her novel, A Portrait of Love and Honor, completes the trilogy inspired by and dedicated to her late husband, John M. Cavalieri, on whose memoir the novel is based.

Susan earned a BA in Literature from American University and a master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania. She offers editing services for writers aspiring to publish their manuscripts. She teaches writing workshops and is available for talks and lectures on writing life stories. Susan lives in Chester Springs, PA.
