About Me

Suzanne Ruthven
Former editor of The New Writer, in partnership with literary agent, Merric Davidson, I started my professional writing career in 1987 by founding the small press writers' magazine Quartos, which ran for nine years until its merger with Acclaim in 1996 to become TNW. Author of over 20 titles on spiritual, country-lore and self-help matters (including two novels) I have regularly contributed freelance articles to a variety of publications as diverse as The Lady and the Funeral Director's Journal. In 1994 I founded ignotus press to market and promote new authors in the increasingly popular Mind, Body & Spirit area, and for over 10 years the press was recognised as one of the leading publishers in the metaphysical genre; remaining so until my retirement and move to Ireland in 2008. I have also ghost-written numerous books for other writers in the metaphysical, country and folk-lore genres, including an autobiography for one of Britain's leading field sportsman. Currently commissioning editor for Compass Books, I live in Tipperary with five greyhounds ... and a little mongrel called Harvey.
