Michael Carr – Editor

I am a literary agent with over 15 years of industry experience. I have worked on numerous bestselling novels as an agent or developmental editor, and specialize in all forms of fiction, as well as biography, history, and science. I regularly teach at conferences for aspiring writers in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. My style is warm and open, but I am always realistic and firm, ready with praise, but never willing to let flaws and weaknesses slide. The industry is too competitive for second best.

In addition to developmental editing and editorial assessment, I can also work on queries as well as half hour or hour long Zoom calls to discuss submission strategy, etc.
