Testimonials

 

Suze Allen of Manuscript Mentor is a proven quality when it comes to creating and editing works of others. She is enthusiastic and so good at finding the focus and direction that writers, of any experience, always need. She has worked with my plays as a dramaturge and I've been amazed at her insight into my work. I have watched her work on various pieces while we were producing FRESH NEW WORKS and the writers always benefited from her clear editing process. Playwriting, Essays, Fiction and Non-Fiction are all in her areas of expertise.  

-Lee Brady, Playwright and Professor of Creative Writing

 

Suze Allen has been instrumental in my writing career. She is a great, wise and wonderful teacher. As a dramaturge she has the capacity to lead the writer on deeper explorations of emotional truth all the while holding structure as holy. This, my friend, is a gift. I can't say enough. I'm always grateful to have Suze walking by my side with her machete in hand when I'm deep in the wild and wonderful jungle of my creativity.

-Karmo Sanders, Playwright

 

Suze is not only a wonderful writer herself, she offered keen insights into my writing, too. With her guidance on rewriting my script, I was able to get my short play produced in New York .

-Patricia Milton , Playwright

 

Suze brought order to the chaos of my mind, helping to streamline a mass of thoughts and ideas into a cohesive body of knowledge and information that eventually became the text of my website. In the course of it she also served as my cheerleader, gently guiding my voice to a more marketable sound, replacing hidden insecurities with self-confident statements. I'm forever grateful!

Suze Allen is a gifted writer and a keen-eyed editor. As someone who tends to write a bit didactically, Suze helped me punch things up and make my writing more engaging and accessible for a mass audience. Suze is fun to work with, and helped me stretch, not only as a writer but conceptually as well. The book proposal she helped with was picked up by a publisher.

-Cassandra Vieten, PhD, Research Psychologist and Author

 

As a director Suze Allen has an uncanny knack for getting at the heart of the material and for finding wonderfully innovative ways of bringing it out more fully, more theatrically. Watching her in action with plays of mine was almost spooky--I discovered so much about what I was really after, really aiming for, and how to get there. I know for certain I am a better playwright thanks to her.

- John Manderino Playwright and Novelist

 

There's a wonderful directness and clarity to Suze Allen's prose. She finds her way straight to the emotional center without a lot of literary fuss, and what she reveals there is painfully funny and insightful.

- John Manderino, author of Reason for Leaving

 

 Suze Allen is a remarkable dramauturge, directorand actress. If you are serious about your craft, I can't stressenough, how happy you will be to have Suze dramaturge your work I have worked with Suze for many years, and all of my plays are much the better for it. She's the Business!
