Editing

Editing

I work with writers privately (in person or virtually), offering editorial counsel, book coaching, and more. Visit The Private Sessions page on The Writers Circle’s website to find out more about working with me or with any of TWC’s other wonderful author-editors.

“Working with Michelle was a wonderful experience. She gently yet directly pointed out places where my story and its characters were going off track, corrected errors and questioned inconsistencies. Scene by scene, she made suggestions that helped me strengthen my novel, and the mystery I’ve written is so much better because of all I learned from her. I can’t thank her enough.” – Mally Becker

“We are thrilled and would refer Michelle to anyone in need of editing services. She edited our book Novel Women, which was no easy task in that it involved five different writers with five different styles.  Her edits seamlessly worked their magic and our somewhat confused mess became a streamlined story with a logical flow and plot consistency. She pared down the noise until the story shone. And she’s nice.  What a combo!” –  Between Friends Book Club and Kim Sullivan Harwanko

“The reason I have finished my first novel is Michelle Cameron. With her supportive and encouraging coaching, she guided me to write a fifty-year-old story that I needed to tell. What started as memoir became a three person POV historical fiction. Michelle taught me to add dialogue that revealed the characters and made them stronger. She gently pointed out scenes that were ‘telling’ instead of ‘showing.’ She was able to help me cut those precious lines and “kill my darlings.” Finally, Michelle edited my manuscript, Freedom Lessons. Her editorial letter guided me to add scenes to strengthen the plot and the protagonist. Her feedback made perfect sense and the results were true to my voice and my story. I’m proud of my finished manuscript and ready to send it out. I highly recommend Michelle as a book coach and as an editor for your manuscript.” – Eileen Sanchez, eileenwrites@comcast.net
