I pride myself on building trustful relationships with my clients. The connection between writer and editor should be a collaboration, not just a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am! Whether through email or messaging, regular communication ensures I’ll know exactly what you expect, understand your goals, and ultimately, allows me to help you grow your career as an author.

"Holding the Stars"
by Heather Stephens
“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.“
Copy Edit:
Action of Purpose Trilogy
by Stu Jones
“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!”
Line Edit:
"The Heart of Winter"
by Shelly Monarch
“When it came time to edit the next book in my Seven Brothers Series, I knew that Michaeli was the only choice for me. Her edits are detailed, and her feedback is both knowledgeable and insightful. It’s fun to learn from her and discover how a reader reacts to my writing in the moment. Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Edits by Knight!”

"Tomorrow's Child"
by Doug Barnes
“It was a pleasure to work with Michaeli. She was meticulous in her work, her comments and suggestions clear and concise. Michaeli happily answered all of my follow-up questions and even taught me a few grammar rules that I wasn’t aware of.”
Line Edit:
"Perdue"
by Charles D'Amico
“Working with Michaeli has been a joy. I’m constantly trying to push myself and my writing. She does a great job engaging the writer with her notes and direction. Michaeli is great at what she does! More importantly, she helps you do the same!”
Line Edit:
"Rightbringer"
by Jesse Vail
“Based on my experience working with Michaeli, I’ll be using her for all my future editing needs. The one-on-one experience without the constant pressuring for things right now was nice, and she was more than accommodating with my needs to communicate back and forth more than most editors have the patience for. It’s rare to find a good editor who is also genuinely a good person as well. I’d give six stars if they’d let me!”
Line Edit:
"Time Sneak: Emergence"
by Edge O. Erin
“Apart from being a joy to work and interact with, Michaeli provided fast and expert edits on my book. Without her help, I would not have published Time Sneak: Emergence in 2021.“
Line Edit: "Spirit Sight"
by Ross Hightower
“She finished on time and the feedback was exactly what I was looking for.”
Beta Read and Line Edit:
"the Last Lion of Karkov"
by Corey Griffin
“Michaeli is an enthusiastic, talented, and thorough copyeditor. It is very obvious that editing is her passion. Highly recommended!”

Thanks Michaeli, I’ve read through your crit and totally agree. I think sometimes you catch me “spinning my wheels” so to speak, but I always see it better in retrospect when a certain beat is spread a little thin. Thanks as always!
-Thomas Huntington
I really enjoyed working with you—you’ve had very good advice and notes. I hope I’ve implemented your revisions well. Look forward to working with you again! Also, I really appreciate the highlights of the repetitions, they’re an amazing help!
-Damnjan Milošević
I always appreciate how you are able to change a few words here and there and make it sound so much better!
