Michelle Horn

Book editor and writer

You’ve come to the Right Place

I help you become a confident author.

No one wants to write something that others think is bad. Maybe you’re not sure what the correct convention is for grammar and don’t want to look stupid. Perhaps you have even written your book, but something is not right. You need help with technique or maybe even with writing it. 


That’s where I come in. I provide copyediting, developmental editing, book doctoring, and ghostwriting services. 


My experience and judgment work for you, bringing the solutions you need to be the author you've always wanted to be. 


Since 2005, I’ve worked with both publishers and independent authors, editing over 750 books, including:


► Novels (mystery, thriller, historical fiction, and more)

► Cookbooks

► Textbooks (trade, professional, academic)

► Health and wellness books

► Devotionals, workbooks, and other short self-help books


Before that, I worked in a corporate setting where the writing was somewhat technical. I have seen a lot of writing styles and know the writing challenges that authors often face.
