Save Years. Save Angst. Don’t Write Another Word Until You Talk to Susan Brown.
As a James Joyce scholar, Susan Brown introduces her clients to the secrets of the world’s greatest authors. A teacher, private writing coach, editor, and collaborator, Susan has spent decades assisting unpublished as well as prize-winning writers develop their projects (memoir and fiction) from concept to manuscript. Whether you want to begin or complete a writing project, Susan will bring you and your novel or memoir to the next level. For her work with writers, Susan offers 35 years teaching college creative writing, decades conducting sold-out workshops, and years guiding dozens of books into print. Also a lover of genre fiction and trash lit, Susan created The Literary Blockbuster Workshop–James Joyce Meets Judith Krantz–in which she guides writers to merge methods of the masters with the secrets of bestselling commercial writers–without sacrificing quality.
Testimony from Jennifer Clement, President of PEN International and author of best-selling National Book Award finalist Prayers for the Stolen (2014) and internationally acclaimed Gun Love (2018)
“During my writing process I always show my work to Susan Brown. She is the only editor who can give me the insight of a rigorous literary scholar and the sharp understanding of the more mainstream market. Discussing my work with her is like dancing tap to Mozart.”
Testimony from Susan Page, Founder and Director of San Miguel Writers’ Conference, the largest and most prestigious co-cultural, bi-lingual literary gathering in the Americas.
I can’t imagine a more skilled, experienced, and brilliant writing coach than Susan Brown. She is intuitive! She climbed inside my project and saw exactly what it needed, picking up nuances that had passed me by. I learned more in her intensive workshop than by reading several “how to” books on writing.
Comments from Susan’s colleagues, workshop participants, and clients
If you’re seeking a writing coach or a workshop for a memoir, literary fiction, a literary blockbuster, or a non-fiction book proposal, contact Susan to determine if your needs and her skills are a fit. In a preliminary complimentary consult, you and Susan will discuss your project and discuss whether private coaching, a 2-hour project consultation, collaborative editing, manuscript consultation, or a workshop is the most appropriate path for you and your goals.
