She doesn’t destroy a writer’s voice but wraps it in a snuggly blanket of correct punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, realistic dialogue, great suggestions of development of scene and characterization, and finding a balance between doing everything right (which can be boring) and knowing why you’re doing something your own way (which can liven up a story). Pricing is excellent and you definitely get above and beyond what you pay for, value for expense is a big one in my book. I love her personal attention and she asks questions to get to know how best to serve the writer. “Michelle and her team have the expertise to help a writer find their niche in this crazy writing world. I couldn’t have gotten through the process without her! I can’t wait to work with her again.” K. “Michelle was such a tremendous help with my debut novel. I definitely would recommend Michelle to any writer.” Frances McCoy | A Scent of Lilac I can’t wait to see how well her suggestions work with the agents I have submitted my work to. She also shared resources with me on the common mistakes beginning writers make.

She captured the voice I was trying to create in one of my chapters, making it stronger and more active. I really liked the suggestions she made to my book. I had previously worked with three other editors and they were not as responsive or collaborative as Michelle. There’s no doubt I’ll be working with Michelle for as long as she keeps me!” Kay Cove | Paint Me Perfect I couldn’t have asked for a better editor and mentor as a brand-new romance author. And man, oh man, is she patient, supportive, and kind! Her critique is layered between praise and she takes the time to recognize strengths while also navigating through the weaknesses. I learn something new each and every time and I’m a better writer every day because of Michelle. All of our conversations are like Christmas to me. Her feedback always coaxes out more of my creativity because she doesn’t just deliver the edits, she takes the time to explain how and why. She worked so carefully to protect my voice in the editing process. But even more than a fantastic editor, Michelle is a superb story strategist.

Her expert insight into romance writing paired with her keen attention to detail makes her among the absolute best in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, she’s in a class of her own when it comes to editing. “It’s impossible to describe Michelle as simply an editor.
