Suzanna Regos wrote her first poem when she was 11 years old. That was also when she received her first rejection letter, but she was not deterred. When Suzanna grew up, she started writing professionally in the music biz – writing blurbs for the trades while working in the publicity department at A&M Records in the early ‘80s and then writing bios for bands for years after. She started her copyriting career while working at a boutique design firm and then MGM/UA Home Entertainment and went on to become an award-winning copywriter for movie and TV advertising. A “writer in every sense of the word,” she eventually expanded her repertoire to include poems, short stories, and screenplays.

While compliing photos she shot of bands in the 1980s for a book she wants to publish about the Los Angeles music scene in the 1980s, Suzanna started a merch line called Punk Rock Comedy that consists of the band photos she shot and also social graphics she writes. The merch line has t-shirts, coffee mugs, bookmarks, etc. Sold mostly at occasional flea markets and through word-of-mouth, she hopes to set up an online store here soon.

Her 2022 self-published book of poems, “Tattle Tales,” is the first in a series; she is currently compiling poems and short stories for Volume 2.

Suzanna is currently finishing up her first draft of her memoir “Tower Stories: From Poco to Punk,” which is about her growing up in the San Fernando Valley and getting a job at Tower Records in her senior year of high school and working there for two years (at the Panorama City location for one year and the Sunset Strip location for a year after high school). Publisher pending.

She is also in pre-production on her first short film, entitled “Sole Mates.”
