Michael A.
Professional Writer/Editor
I have more than 20 years of experience working with the written word, both as an editor and a writer. I began my career in the book publishing industry, where I provided multifaceted editorial support to titles published by Random House, Skyhorse Publishing, Facts On File, and other publishers. As an in-house editorial assistant with Fact On File, I served as the primary editor on world history titles. In 2010, following a medical diagnosis, I left the book publishing industry and turned my attention to building my freelance career. After more than five years serving as freelance editor, I began taking on a greater amount of writing work, culminating in my accepting a freelance role with a firm focused on helping clients improve their online images. My success in this role led to my earning a promotion to this company’s VIP division, where I continue to write biographies, articles, tweets, and other content for the firm’s clients. My writing and editing background also includes positions with newspapers, literary agencies, and publicity and marketing firms. Whatever your writing or editorial need, I bring a desire to hone and produce high-level content. I truly love my vocation, and I look forward to bringing my skills and enthusiasm to your project.
