Editing & Freelance

Editing & Freelance

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

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

After more than two decades of surviving life in a digital agency, I also work with freelance clients on corporate and nonprofit projects. My eclectic group of past and present clients include the Rutgers Centers for Global Advancement and International Affairs, the College of Staten Island (CUNY), New Jersey Performing Arts, Arts Access,  C. R. Bard, the Juilliard School, New York City Ballet, Mason Gross School of the Arts, the Rutgers Center for Women and Work, Abrams Books, IATSE Local One, and my oldest and dearest client, Mr. Steam.

Michelle is hands-down the most professional freelance writer I have ever worked with. She is early for every call, and well prepared. She researches every client and every topic in advance, and comes armed with excellent questions. Even better, she delivers neat, proofread content on time, and often ahead of schedule. Her writing is clear and concise, her grammar perfect, and her conformity to style guides flawless. The quality of her writing has pleased even my most challenging clients, since – above all – she is an excellent writer. There is no freelance writer I would recommend more highly than Michelle. From the quality of her writing to her unmatched professionalism, Michelle is the best of the best. – Aimee Kessler Evans, Strategic Content Marketing Consultant

The words used to describe your company, your product, your very business essence, are such an important part of defining who you are as a company. We would not trust this responsibility to just anyone. Fortunately for us, for many years we have had Michelle Cameron as a writer and collaborator.  Over the years she has helped us define our voice and our message on our blog, in advertising, in brochures and literature. Any company fortunate enough to work with Michelle will know what we do, that she is an asset worth keeping, as we have for years.  – Martha Orellana,  Vice President of Marketing, MrSteam
