Reviews
A fierce love of reading, extensive editing experience, and Bachelor’s degree in English have resulted in excellent feedback from all my clients:
“Finding the right editor has been a big hurdle for me, but I finally found what I needed in Michaeli. I wanted an editor who had good communication skills and a strong knowledge base. Her edits and comments were like a mini master class. I plan to continue working with Edits by Knight and recommend her to all my writing friends.“
author, Seven Brothers series
“I hired Michaeli to help me (finally) get my very first trilogy from two decades ago up to snuff. This series has kept me up at night because I love it and it sells well, but the quality of the draft was lacking and not representative of what I’m doing now. She came on board without hesitation, for a very reasonable cost, and went above and beyond – elevating the work to a much better place. I couldn’t thank her enough, and now feel so much better about those first three books!”
Dragon Award Nominee and co-author of the award-winning It Takes Death To Reach A Star duology
“Michaeli was the perfect editor for my first novel. Not only was she meticulous in her editing, she also provided encouragement to me as a writer. Through her work on the manuscript, I was able to confidently start the process of pitching my book.”
– Heather Stephens
Michaeli lives in North Alabama with their partner—two bright blue dots in a really red state. The pair have two cats, Louise and Jefferson Twilight, and live the quiet and satisfying lives of two nerdy introverts. The work-from-home lifestyle is perfect for Michaeli, who was diagnosed with ADHD and autism in their late thirties.
In their spare time, Michaeli enjoys gardening, playing the piano, singing, playing JRPGs, Tabletop gaming, and (of course) reading.
