Meet Suzy Fox: Arty-in-Chief

Suzy Fox studied printmaking and jewelry design and in high school before obtaining her B.A. as a double major English and Art History. She was selected as an undergraduate intern by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she gave gallery tours, inventoried the Cloisters, and pretended to know enough French to tell confused Parisians where the bathroom was. (No wonder the French sound grumpy.) After a decade spent earning a living wage, Suzy decided to save her soul by leaving business to obtain an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. Her first book, the memoir Home Life, was published by Simon & Schuster in 1997; in addition, she has published books of women’s fiction under two pen names as well as a wide range of articles and poems. Suzy has taught and spoken widely and been awarded residencies at Yaddo and the Vermont Studio Center, during which she wrote, napped and enjoyed being cooked for. Suzy’s more serious side, as well as her latest books, cards, other products, and glimpses of both her arty and smarty talents, can be seen at www.bookstrategy.com.

Meet Suzy Fox: Smarty-in-Chief

Suzy Fox graduated from Douglass College with a B.A. degree, a crazy boyfriend, and a total lack of the funds for the art history graduate degree she desired at that time. Instead, she took a secretarial job on Wall Street, was promoted, and subsequently founded her own marketing writing firm. Upon completing her M.F.A in writing from the Columbia University School of the Arts, she was invited to become the School’s first centralized admissions director. In that role she managed admissions for the visual art, film, music, theater, and writing divisions; coordinated selection and fellowship committees; and tried to prevent the famous artists from leaving irreplaceable admissions files on the IRT. In the years since, Suzy has acted as consulting editor and writer to clients including the City of New York, demonstrated her ability to color coordinate her outfits properly, and had only one brush with the law, a traffic citation from a cop who clearly needed a doughnut.
