About Michelle
I have been in the publishing industry for over twenty years, working in many different capacities: editor, writer, publisher, managing editor, buyer and project manager.
I have written brochures, children's books, articles, catalog copy, card mailers, press releases and have a keen eye for turning your information into the marketing piece you need for growing your business.
Take a look at some of my writing samples, (there's a link at the left of the page) and some of the book projects I've managed.
Let me help you create the best project possible.
