Sue Lahna
Founder, Editor, and Formatter
Sue founded Quick Fox Editors to meet the needs of those that were desperately underserved: the LGBTQ and neurodiverse writing communities. Skilled and schooled in all aspects of the editing process (including both Chicago and AP style), Sue is able to take on projects for every stage of editing, and any genre (no book too dark, no scene too spicy.) There are few calls more important to our founder than showing the ropes to new voices in publishing – first time writers are their specialty (though Sue is no stranger to picking up projects mid-series either.) They have nine years experience as an editor, working with publishing houses, NYT bestselling authors, and companies of all sizes. Armed with a B.A. in English and a long history of employment throughout the publishing landscape, Sue is here to make your next book your best book. They are a proud member of the EFA.
Current Availability: Sue is currently taking on new clients. Their 2024 availability begins in April.
Sue resides in a historic home in Massachusetts. An advocate for all things chronic illness, Sue lives with chronic migraines and ADHD. A proud member of the LGBTQIA community, Sue is on the ace spectrum and nonbinary; their pronouns are they/them.
