Meet Susan Regier

Susan Regier is a business copywriter, brand storyteller, and writing trainer who has spent nearly three decades helping businesses and organizations find the right words. Whether she’s writing those words herself or teaching a team to communicate more effectively, her focus is always the same: creating clear, compelling messages that connect with the people who need to hear them.

It’s no surprise that Susan is an entrepreneur – she’s come from a long line of independent business owners. Growing up on a farm in Southwestern Ontario with three older brothers, it became clear from the start that she would have to find her own voice. Writing became one of the ways she did.

Not long after launching Vantage One Writing, Susan created Networking Today, which grew from a small eight-page print newsletter into an extensive online resource used by entrepreneurs and sales leaders across Canada to find local networking opportunities and resources.

Over the years, her business continued to evolve. Susan led workshops, hosted events, coached clients, developed programs, and spoke at conferences – all while writing remained a constant thread throughout her work.

Her love of words extends well beyond business. Susan spent five years teaching Creative Writing at Fanshawe College, where she developed her own curriculum. Today, she draws on that experience in the Soulful Writer’s Retreat for Women and The Writer’s Studio, her nine-week creative writing program, where writers receive personalized guidance as they bring their stories to life.

After years away, she returned to her rural roots – and, in many ways, to where she began: with writing. She and her husband now live on the shores of Lake Huron, where she hosts intimate writing retreats in their home. There’s something rather fitting about helping other writers find their voices not far from where Susan first began finding her own.

Susan is a proud mom and grandmother to a lively family that keeps her grounded, inspired, and joyfully busy. She’s happiest outdoors – walking the trails, strolling along the shoreline in search of beach glass, or digging in the garden – usually with a new idea percolating somewhere in the background.

Whether she’s helping a business tell its story or a writer find their voice, Susan believes words have the power to connect, inspire, and create change.
