Suzanne Falter-Barns is an expert at helping anyone get on with their creative dreams. Her web site, howmuchjoy.com, and the book that inspired it, How Much Joy Can You Stand? (Ballantine Wellspring; 2000) were born of Suzanne's own creative meltdowns. She is a veteran creative stalwart who has weathered more than a thousand rejections.
These days, things are going considerably better. How Much Joy Can You Stand? has been read by more than 75,000 people, and was a Publisher's Weekly Hot Pick and a Main Selection of the One Spirit Book Club. Suzanne's website, www.howmuchjoy.com and the book have been featured in Self Magazine, Fitness Magazine, Real Woman, I-village, msn.com, Writer's Digest, and on more than 100 radio and television programs. More than 20,000 people read Suzanne's bi-weekly ezine, The Joy Letter.
Suzanne has also written for The New York Times, More, New Woman, Prevention, Parents, and Cosmo Girl. And since old dreams never really die, she still appears from time to time as a cabaret singer.
