After teaching herself to read (at age 3), Beasie graduated from NYC’s Brearley School (at age 18), where she edited the newspaper, won the creative writing prize, and was voted by her classmates “most likely to return as an English teacher.” Beasie continued her academic journey at Yale, where she completed the rigorous classical canon Directed Studies program and majored in English and Creative Writing. She won both the prize for the Most Outstanding Student in the Major and the award for the best English thesis. Unfinished with academia, Beasie was selected for the prestigious Mellon Fellowship, which allowed her to attend graduate school at the University of Cambridge, Clare College. She read amongst the cows, rummaged through dusty libraries, and earned her M.Phil degree in English Literature. 

As a Lead Tutor at the Yale Writing Center, Beasie helped students from a variety of disciplines discover the joy of essay writing. She has extensive experience creating customized humanities curricula for middle and high school students. An editor in her other professional life, Beasie has edited several published books, ghostwritten, and currently works at a New York magazine. Her mission is to help clients fall in love with language and learn to express themselves with clarity and passion.

When not immersed in writing, Beasie enjoys making pasta from scratch, finding new recipes, and playing the NYT Spelling Bee (she’s been nationally ranked). A voracious reader, she’s always juggling two books at once, and has a penchant for history and mystery - perhaps a poet, though she does not know it! Beasie also enjoys surfing and playing beach volleyball whenever geography allows.
