The success of your kid-facing brand or your mission-driven organization depends on it.
My name is Susan M. Clarke. I’m an Emmy award-nominated TV writer and creator of a Parent’s Choice Award-winning kids podcast series. As a children’s writer, I make kids laugh and help them learn through video, audio, interactive digital media, toys, editorial content and marketing.
I’ve also had a parallel career as a marketing and communications copywriter, working in-house at companies including HBO and Guitar Center, and freelancing for boutique creative agencies and corporate clients alike.
I’m uniquely qualified to help you succeed.
Kids Educational Content Writer
I make information engaging and fun for kid audiences on learning apps, video, audio, interactive devices, and editorial content.
Kids IP Development Writer
I build worlds and develop characters — yours or new ones — to help you grow your brand into new spaces. Show treatments, pitch decks, bibles, and pilot scripts.
Kids Marketing Copywriter
I connect with kids by striking the right tone in marketing copy, brand collateral, brand extensions, promos and commercials, product packaging, and POP.
Kids Comedy Writer
I’ve written boatloads of funny stuff for kids of all ages across all platforms, including narrative stories, songs, sketch comedy, jokes, interactive conversation design, and illustrated humor pieces for digital and print.
Kids Scriptwriter
I write video and audio scripts for kids at all developmental stages, from pre-school to teens, on any topic, for any medium.

I was the class clown, so I’ve been honing the art of making kids pay attention to me since I was 7 years old.
Straight out of (Emerson) college I was hired as a staff writer on the now-legendary PBS kids game show “Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?”, where, among other things, I wrote lyrics for over 30 songs sung by the now-legendary band Rockapella.
None of us had any idea that any of it would become legendary.
Today, I’m more dedicated than ever to creating high quality content that makes kids laugh and learn but also makes them feel good about themselves.
Formerly of Boston, Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, I live in New York City (again) with my husband, who is a jazz recording artist and composer who joins me in making up ridiculous songs around the house all day.
