Michael Weatherhead

Michael Weatherhead – Editor

I have close to fifteen years of senior editorial experience and have turned countless manuscripts into successful books.

Overview

I am able to work with an author to craft a text from the ground up and have taken countless projects from manuscript stage to finished title. I have many years of editorial experience and know how to create a book that will reach its intended audience. My editorial background includes health-related nonfiction works, biographies, business how-to books, historical fiction, and even a legal thriller.

I am open to all genres, both nonfiction and fiction. I love the work and have worked successfully with all kinds of authors. I am easy-going, open-minded, and always hoping to make a sentence sound effortless. Ultimately, I want to make my authors feel that their completed books are better than they ever could have imagined.
