Jennifer New
As the author of three books and many articles, I know that writing is often a lonely, challenging practice. Writing a book is honestly the hardest thing I’ve done beyond giving birth! Just like having a doula during labor who reminds you to breathe, a writing coach is part cheerleader, part counselor, and part practical mentor.
I provide accountability, resources, new perspectives, feedback, and exercises. You provide imagination, stories, and determination.
​
I love working with authors of creative nonfiction, including memoirs, art, spirituality, and nature. My own writing is in these areas, buoyed by a lifelong passion for the arts, a deep Buddhist practice, and concern for our planet.
​
I am also a good fit for academics who are turning dissertations into books or who want to transition an academic project into a commercial one. As the former associate director of a major university humanities center, I’ve helped many scholars translate their research to wider audiences.
