Suzanne McConnell earned an MFA from University of Iowa Writers' Workshop (1968). Her novel, Fence of Earth, a finalist for the James Fellowship for Novel in Progress given by the Heekin Foundation, is currently under consideration by publishers.

Her stories (including a Pushcart Prize nominee) have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, such as Bellevue Literary Review, Calyx, The Fiddlehead, Green Mountains Review, and Personal Fiction Writing. Her creative non-fiction has appeared in venues such as Poets & Writers, Discovery Channel Publishing's travel series, and Cape Women. Her poems have appeared in Earth's Daughters and A Sense of Place: An Anthology of Cape Women Writers. She has been a resident at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, Ucross Foundation, Villa Montalbo Center for the Arts, and Cummington Community of the Arts. She teaches fiction writing at Castle Hill Center for the Arts in Truro, MA; annually at Rancho La Puerta, a spa in Tecate, Mexico; and in private workshops. Besides fiction workshops, the course she has most enjoyed teaching at Hunter College is Literature of the Sixties, inspired by research for her novel. She is working on creative non-fiction and on a collection of short stories.
