Susan S. Brown, PhD“Learning to write with Susan Brown was like learning to dance with Ballanchine,” was ballerina Allegra Kent’s assessment after completing her critically acclaimed memoir, Once a Dancer, with personal editor and writing coach Susan Brown. If you’re seeking a writing workshop or personal editor for memoir writing, literary fiction, book proposal writing, commercial fiction, or a literary blockbuster, review all the comments by clients and workshop participants who’ve experienced the coaching skills of Susan Brown. To her clients and students, she brings 30 years of teaching college in creative writing and literature, conducting sold-out workshops, and helping bring over a dozen books into print as a personal editor and book doctor. A publishing James Joyce scholar with a PhD in Modernist literature, Dr. Brown introduces writers to the techniques used by the literary masters. Also a lover of escape genre fiction and trash lit, Brown is adept at guiding purely commercial projects. Her latest writer's workshops focus on combining literary fictional techniques with genre formulas into a newly emerging hybrid—the literary best-seller. Applying sophisticated writing devices to escape fiction has appeared most distinctly in the critically recognized as well as best-selling detective series of such writers as James Lee Burke, Dennis Lehane, and James Hall. Brown wants to expand the field from whodonits. It's time for a bodice ripper to compete for the Booker Prize. |
