amy gutman

freelance writer & editor


Do you need a keynote speech? A blog post or feature story? Guidance on a challenging project? Whatever your writing needs, I can help.

 

Education, law, business, the arts—all of these are familiar terrain. During four years as special assistant for communications to then-Harvard Law School Dean (now U.S. Supreme Court Justice) Elena Kagan, I drafted speeches, essays, and an array of external communications.


My work has appeared in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Huffington Post, and Salon, among other venues, and recent freelance projects include pieces for Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the Harvard School of Public Health. I am also the author of two novels, both published by Little, Brown.

 

An honors graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard College, I live in western Massachusetts and work everywhere.
