Susan Isaacs (born December 7, 1943) is an American novelist, essayist, and screenwriter. She was born in Brooklyn, New York to Helen Asher Isaacs a homemaker, and Morton Isaacs an electrical engineer. At Queens College, she majored in English and minored in economics. After college, she worked as a senior editor at Seventeen magazine and also as a freelance political speechwriter.
She married Elkan Abramowitz, a lawyer, in 1968. She left work in 1970 to stay at home with her newborn son, Andrew. Three years later, in 1973, she gave birth to her daughter Elizabeth. She freelanced during this time, writing both speeches and magazine articles. She now lives on Long Island with her husband.
Her first novel (and first attempt at fiction), Compromising Positions, was published in 1978. It was chosen as a main selection of the Book of the Month Club and, like all of her subsequent novels, was a New York Times bestseller. Her fiction has been translated into thirty different languages all over the world. She has also written a work of cultural criticism, Brave Dames and Wimpettes: What Women are Really Doing on Page and Screen.
Improv comedy taught Susan Isaacs a better way to respond to her friends with different religious backgrounds. Instead of denying their experiences, she began to participate in their story.

Profile: Susan Isaacs
Growing up in Brooklyn during the 1950s, Susan Isaacs's forward-thinking father told her that she could accomplish anything as a woman. After marrying and moving to Long Island years later, she took her father's words to heart and refused to settle into the typical suburban housewife routine. "Instead of doing laundry or polishing my nails," she explains, "I went to my books." And she proved her father right: today Isaacs is the author of twelve New York Times bestsellers. In this exclusive new video, watch Isaacs relive her Brooklyn youth and discuss her amazing new life as one of the best voices—male or female—in contemporary crime fiction.
