An Artisan Publisher

Susan Nunn

Where some call themselves “Indie” Publishers, others call themselves “Boutique” Publishers, we at Mountain Aura Publishing call ourselves “Artisan” Publishers – defined as a personal, hands-on approach to the publishing process that emphasizes craftsmanship, quality, and personal attention to detail. Here, at Mountain Aura Publishing, we treat each project as a unique and carefully crafted work, much like an artisan creating something distinctive and meaningful.

About Me

Online Classes

These online classes are designed to inspire writers to write their best by exploring their emotional centers, releasing their emotions which create feeling in your writing – through a series of tools and processes, your best writing will emerge.

Writing Coach

Is something missing from your manuscript? Is your story all over the place? I love working with these writers to bring their story out on the page, while maintaining their writer’s voice. We will work together to let your  words fall onto the page.

Editing & Publishing Services

Do you need a good editor? Do you have a manuscript that is ready to be edited and published? Writing the book is only the beginning. Getting an editor who understands your work, and then getting it published finishes it off beautifully.

Susan provided an invaluable service editing my book. We lost count how many times she read my manuscript looking for edits. She didn’t stop until it was perfect. Susan goes to great lengths to protect the author’s unique voice; and understands all the special considerations and nuances of editing a spiritually-oriented book. Susan has been a godsend for my writing life. A true gem!

“Working with Susan Nunn was pure joy! She was supportive, knowledgeable and patient all during the editing process, offering suggestions and asking questions that helped me to go deeper into my life experiences, making the memoir and eBook more viable and relatable. "

"Susan does an amazing job of integrating readings, writing, guided imagery, meditations, interviews and group discussion into a deeply creative experience. I took her Memoir Writing class, Mining Truth in Memoir, Digging For Our Gold – Our Personal Truth. No matter what she teaches, it helps us all, as it is about getting into our emotional center and letting us explore in a way we haven’t considered. I know it helped me take my memoir writing process to a new level."

"I had no idea how to approach writing a memoir until I took Susan’s Mining Truth in Memoir – Digging for Gold – Our Personal Truth class. I learned the craft of memoir writing, but more importantly learned about myself. Having taken a memoir writing class and character-driven writing class from Susan, I am looking forward to her fiction classes. I know they will inspire me and push me in ways I have not anticipated.”

"When I enrolled in Mining Truth in Memoir, I didn't quite know what to expect. The class launched what has become a journey for me to discover the hidden things that have affected my writing. Some of the revelations were quite deep, but they set me on a path to healing from my past, as well as the courage to seek help for incidents long buried, but needing excavation. Susan's class offers a portal through which a writer can delve deeper into self through a series of exercises. Through the journey, the discoveries one makes is worth the agony of the process, and time it takes to get there. Only now, do I fully realize the wonderful gift you gave us during your amazing workshop."

Susan Nunn, my editor, who challenged me to dig deeper. All because she believed in me and my story and wanted me to be proud of every word. In the process, I began to believe in myself. She helped me tell this story with my heart leading the way.
