Life


Eldest of Patricia Louise (Smith) and John Patrick Stewart's eight children,[7] Branch grew up in the San Fernando Valley outside of Los Angeles, California.[1][8] This is chronicled in her 2015 memoir, The Fairy Tale Girl. Her first commercial success manifested in 1978 at the Red Door Gallery[9] in Beverly Hills, California. In 1982, Branch moved from California to the island of Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, a story told in part-two of her memoir, Martha's Vineyard, Isle of Dreams, published in 2016.[9][10] In 1986, the first of eleven volumes, Heart of the Home, Notes from a Vineyard Kitchen,[2][11] was published by Hachette Book Group (then "Little, Brown and Company").[8][12] In 1990, Branch's book, Christmas from the Heart of the Home[13] was nominated for the James Beard Award.[14][15] She lives on Martha's Vineyard with her partner Joe Hall and runs Susan Branch Studios.[16]

Branch's book, A Fine Romance, Falling in Love with the English Countryside (2013), was discussed in an article in Publishers Weekly[17] both for the velocity of its sales (going into 3rd printing) and how an established author has taken risks by choosing a hybrid publishing route. Her latest book, Martha's Vineyard, Isle of Dreams, currently a New York Times Bestseller,[18] was published by her own imprint, Spring Street Publishing. Her entry into self publishing is discussed in a recent article in Publishers Weekly.[19]
