Amy Jameson – Editor

I am an editor, literary agent, writing coach and copywriter. I've been working with authors to hone their manuscripts for 20+ years.

Overview

I began my career in publishing at Janklow & Nesbit Associates in New York City where I represented Shannon Hale's first five books. I launched my own literary agency in 2004, specializing in representing books for kids. I continue to edit and agent award-winning, bestselling YA, MG, and picture books. I've also spent the past 20 years helping thought leaders in various disciplines develop and polish books, articles, keynotes and other messaging. I love helping experts turn their specialized knowledge into accessible prose for a general audience.
