Sue Reed

Sue Reed is an author, essayist and freelance writer who lives in Northumberland where her love of the wild, the landscape, history and resilience of the human spirit inspires her writing.

Born in Worthing, Sussex, Sue has migrated steadily north and has worn a variety of hats in her professional life from teacher, museum guide, upcycler of waste wool knitwear as The Woolly Pedlar to published author. It was in 2019 that she decided to go to Newcastle University to do an MA in Creative Writing, which is where the idea for the Molly McFlynn books fledged.

She has written two books in the Molly McFlynn series: The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn and Molly McFlynn Goes Rogue. She can be found on Substack at RIPE, and writes regularly for magazines such as Platinum.

Sue has a loyal following on social media and can be found on Instagram at @suereedwrites and Sue Reed Writes on Facebook.

When not writing, Sue divides her time with her husband in the garden, travelling their converted campervan or looking after the grandchildren. They try to live as sustainably as possible, leading gentle lives in tune with the seasons, growing their own fruit and vegetables.
