About
I am an award-winning English Professor who taught thousands of diverse college students at CUNY in Manhattan for ten years. I am also an award-winning, published short story writer and novelist. My writing students of all ages, backgrounds and levels have gotten into competitive Ivy League schools, prestigious Law Schools, have been published in literary journals, have won merit scholarships and excelled in both high school and in the publishing world. I will work with you in all genres, including: Creative Writing, College Essay Writing, Memoir/Autobiography, Creative Nonfiction, etc. Please note: I tutor students in Reading & Writing beginning in middle school through adult learners, from fledging new writers to experienced, published authors. I will only work virtually (via Zoom). Lastly, I am an editor, not a ghostwriter.

Working with Amanda on editing my book was such a meaningful part of my book journey. She brought a positive and supportive energy. Her personable approach made the process enjoyable and inspiring. She helped me look at my work in ways I hadn't considered, which truly elevated my book. I strongly recommend her for your project!

"Working with Amanda Harris was a game-changer! When I felt stuck with nothing to show, she helped me get back on track with encouragement, thoughtful guidance, and a keen ear. She really listened, understood my struggles, and gave me the direction I needed to move forward. Her support made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for her expertise. If you're looking for a writing coach who truly cares, she's the one!"

I didn't think I would enjoy proofing my essay as much as I did, but Amanda made it enjoyable. She provided great feedback, and helped me to be a better writer. Thank you Amanda!

This is part 1 of my review. I decided to go with Amanda on a project (editing job is scheduled to start in January) because we instantly connected. Her sample edits were not only spot on but her style really meshed with my personality. Excited to see how we work together. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Had an amazing time. Amanda was easy to connect with and helped with my speech outline through story telling techniques that made an anxiety provoking task so much more pleasant. Thank you Amanda I learned a lot through your skills and expertise!
