What authors are saying about Amy Bee:

Coffee and Books go well with coaches and editors
"When I was working on my book, I was completely lost. I had so many ideas and big picture concepts but it wasn't coming out how I wanted it to. Amy helped me figure out what I was really trying to say and pushed me to dig deep. My publishers loved the draft I turned in."

Aaron Carnes, author of In Defense of Ska

Hey, I'm Amy Bee
Amy Bee is a professional independent book coach, editor, and writer

You have a story to tell.

Let me help you tell it.

I'm a line and developmental editor who works with a variety of fiction authors and memoirists to get the best version of their story out of their heads and onto the page. I write flash and short-form memoir when I'm not working with other writers and a few have won awards. Book coaching has been a natural evolution from the hours and hours and HOURS I've spent enthusiastically pushing, supporting, and brainstorming with writers, loving their big-picture ideas and creative, unique voices as much as I love my own. When I'm not editing or writing, I'm reading promiscuously or discovering new hiking trails with my favorite dude and our hilarious dog.
