SUZANNE ST PIERRE

Hello, and welcome. I’m Suzanne St. Pierre, and that handsome guy beside me is my German Shepherd, Cody. Although my dog and being outdoors are passions of mine—writing is my first love.


I have been writing stories and poems since I was able to hold pen to paper and form a complete sentence. I’ve been writing professionally for more than 20 years—crafting training guides, radio ads, corporate presentations, promotional campaigns, newsletters, and developing web, email and blog content. I also have a knack for writing 280-characters-or-less content.


In addition to my copywriting skills, I am not afraid to wield a red pen to edit work.


I excel at building relationships and listening to clients' needs to ensure their message is clearly communicated. I am highly organized, which allows me to handle multiple projects at once. And I’m a stickler for details.

Staying Connected During a Time of Distancing

Using Technology to Stay Connected

Many of us are telecommuting or going to school from home. Some are under a “stay-at-home” order, and we’re all practicing “social distancing”—a phrase Wikipedia has already added to their litany of terms. So, what can you do to stay connected? Technology can bring friends and family to you—wherever you are. Check out this top ten list for ideas:

  • Use Google Photos (or any one of the many photo sites) to upload and share albums—and get the conversation going. It’s like the old-time slideshows without the slide projector and sheet on the wall.
  • Get online and play a game. It can be as something as simple as Scrabble or faster-paced like Fortnite or Minecraft. Throw on a headset or use your computer speaker to talk with your teammates.
  • Chat face-to-face, remotely. There are almost as many video chat apps as there are people. Check out the popular FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Marco Polo or Skype. And these chats can more than just a conversation. Think about reading a bedtime story or singing a lullaby to your favorite little person faraway.
  • Plan a virtual get-together via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Schedule a team lunch or coffee break. Plan a happy hour or dinner party with friends and don’t forget about birthday celebrations!
  • Exercise together through a virtual group Zumba, Yoga or other fitness class.
  • Social media can keep you up-to-date on what your friends and families (and the world around you) are doing. It’s a great way to share videos and photos as well. Facebook even lets you set up private groups and create events—virtual or real.
  • Check out the popular Meet Up app to find groups based on your talents, skills, hobbies, likes, etc. Many have taken their groups online and found a way to keep the fun going.
  • Take an online class. You can find anything from learning a new language to carpentry and crocheting online. Keep it local by searching your area’s adult ed center or college to see what courses they might have available.
  • Enjoy a movie together. Netflix Party allows for group viewing and provides private chat rooms so you can interact with fellow viewers. You can even customize your party with fun user icons, nicknames, screenshots, emojis and GIFs.
  • Share your Spotify music collection with friends and family. Create a unique list for a special someone or host a dance party.
