About

This is a current snapshot of my life. I have always enjoyed writing and have hundreds of small notebooks cluttering up the house, so in April 2013 I felt that the obvious solution was to start a blog.

Since then, Suzie Speaks has grown beyond all expectations. I love the people and the community and I’m not being melodramatic when I say it has been the best form of therapy I have ever had. It has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined and I was able to leave my job and work as a blogger and Social Media Manager full-time.

My posts reflect my mood and experiences and cover topics ranging from books, film, thoughts, daily life, teaching, friendship, relationships, things I find amusing, my adventures around my beloved city of Birmingham and my travel experiences. I blog about my life, my loves, my family and friends.

I’m a thirty – seven year old former teacher from England. I live with The Bloke – my fiance (and a very patient man) who has been my partner-in-crime for a very long time… and our elderly cat. I am in the process of changing my life and becoming self-employed and I am gradually figuring out what I should be doing with my time.

There are several pages that you may find interesting and can be found in the menu.

Blogging Tips: While I have only been in the blogosphere for a few years (yes, I’m using that word), I have included a few hints and tips that I have learned that may be useful. You’ll be able to find posts on everything from increasing your traffic, comments and likes, to self-censorship, recycling content and using social media groups.

Birmingham Reviews: An overview of places, restaurants, cocktail bars and experiences in my adopted city!

Social Media Management: A break down of my Social Media Management options for bloggers who need a social media boost!

Sponsorship: Want to sponsor Suzie Speaks? There are several different packages you can purchase, from monthly sponsorship, ‘Blog of the Day’ and hosting blog parties.

  11. Right, you’ve got to work with me on this.
    Imagination required.
    I’m dressed in all my finery, looking shit-hot. Hair coiffed, make-up minimal and perfect, gorgeous black frock on, slit to thigh. My God, I look great.
    I’m standing behind a podium and I have a gold envelope in my hand.
    My beautifully painted scarlet nails slice along the seal.
    And……..
    You have been nominated by me to receive the ‘One Lovely Blog Award’.

    That’s you, that is!

  23. Hi Suzie – thanks for the “like”!! I will enjoy reading your posts. We’re headed to London in a week for a quick long-weekend trip, and I’m eager to explore every bit possible of England sometime soon after that. Your blog thoughts will have to do for now!

  26. I have been following you for a little while now – since you first came to my place – but I have to say that I have never received any of your posts. Very Strange.

  38. Hi Suzie! Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my first post. I liked how you expressed the reason why you write. “There is no real theme, I just write about what I feel like at the time. I have lots of passions and interests,”.

    I think this is the beauty of writing. Through it, we can “express” and “be free”. You don’t even have to apologize for it. Just keep it going! 🙂
