Michelle W.
Editor/Writer/Proofreader + Children's Book Writer/Editor
I am a passionate, warm, and intuitive writer and editor. I find great joy in bringing ideas to life and fine-tuning books, stories, and content to be the best it can be. I write and edit content for SEO work, do developmental edits for fiction and non-fiction ebooks, memoirs, blog content, and product manuals, and I regularly write stories for the non-profit organisation, Library For All, and Save the Children. I have written for Tim Harris’ Primary Writer’s Project and Youkie kids' magazine. I was recently thrilled to write a Christmas story for the Miffy franchise, and I have helped many authors bring their stories to life. Presently, I have been successful in authoring the following titles: 'Bubbles and Puddles" "Ella and Star" I'm more than happy to collaborate and help my clients take their projects to the next level and learn along the way. Bringing personal stories to life and sharing them with the world is for me the most satisfying work. I feel honored to be a part of such special stories and put my heart into such projects Taking on many and varied projects has been a great learning experience. Each client brings with them their own unique perspective, and I feel proud of my contribution to their stories, keeping the art of storytelling alive. I'm a keen member of the kidlit community, a committee member of Creative Kids Tales, and writes reviews for Writing NSW, Walker Books, Magabala Books, and Big Sky Publishing. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to working with you on your special project.
