Amy Benson Brown, PhD
One-on-one Manuscript Development Coaching
My Background
Since 2002, I’ve supported scholars in developing articles and books, first through Emory University and more recently through Academic Coaching & Writing. As a developmental editor, I offer feedback on manuscripts to help authors hone their arguments and find the best way to express them. I also coach authors about how to build a more productive writing process and move beyond anxiety. One of the most satisfying aspects of my work is seeing clients through the whole process from research to writing and successful publication.
I specialize in book development, and my clients have published with university presses including Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers, University of Texas, and Indiana UP, among others. My article clients have published with top-tier journals in History, Anthropology / Ethnography, Literature, Women’s Studies, African-American Literature, Philosophy, Sociology, Spanish Literature, Latinx Studies, Education, Nursing, and Law.

"Amy transformed my entire approach to writing by making it joyous again. She turned the daunting project of book writing into something I looked forward to. I saw every meeting with her as one step closer to my final manuscript."
