"She preserved the essential voice that brought the story to life." -Bob M. | Author, Golden Gate Bridge Painter "Michaela has the unique ability to get inside your soul and sing it out like a song." -Nicole H. | Chief Executive Officer Hi there! I’m Michaela, a ghostwriter and developmental editor specializing in memoirs and leadership-driven books that sound like you and use killer stories to capture your readers. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, I'VE: - Ghostwritten 5 full-length books (memoir, business, and self-help) - Edited 12+ other manuscripts for voice, structure, and clarity - Worked with founders, CEOs, and leaders to define legacies and empower their followers My specialty? VOICE. A strong book that sounds like you, not like AI jargon or a copy-paste formula. I’ve developed a deep instinct for capturing an author’s unique tone, so much so, that clients often say, “It’s like you’re in my head.” WHAT I OFFER: 1) Full-service ghostwriting -- from a personalized table of contents to final manuscript, including interviews, a detailed book plan, writing, and editing. 2) Developmental editing -- for single chapters or full manuscripts 3) Voice-preserving line edits -- for single chapters or full manuscripts PROJECT TYPES: - Memoirs - Founder/CEO leadership books - Motivational or faith-driven nonfiction - Book plans and Table of Contents (TOC creation) A BIT ABOUT ME: - I have nearly a decade of leadership and management experience. I communicate promptly, meet deadlines without stress, and am an organizational freak. - I value quality over quantity—no filler, no fluff. Just meaningful, well-structured content that serves both your reader and your message. - I’m available Monday through Friday unless stated otherwise and will usually respond to an email within 4 hours (24 hours max). Lastly, I consume mass amounts of both coffee and tea (for the flavor, not just the caffeine); I am a mom of a four-year-old who sometimes makes me think he’s the more creative between the two of us; and I am a wife to a man who reminds me daily that God is in control, and my number #1 job–no matter the project–is to love people well. Let’s create something powerful together! Check out Mistbound Scribe at mistboundscribe.com for more information about me and my ghostwriting services.
