Michele Bianchi – Editor

I help nonfiction writers and academics shape compelling, credible narratives that readers trust. I’ve edited books by:

Yvon Chouinard, "Let My People Go Surfing," "Some Stories," "Responsible Business"

Mark Kurlansky, "Salmon"

Jennifer Allen, "Mālama Honua"

Annie Leonard, "Protest"

A recent book project where I was editor/fact-checker, "The Blue Plate," by Mark Easter, won a IBPA Independent Book Award for the “Nature and Environment” category, and is a finalist in the Colorado Book Awards and the James Beard Awards in the “Food Issues and Advocacy” category.

Clients come to me for line editing, fact-checking and clarity—especially when the subject matter is complex or interdisciplinary. I bring years of editorial experience, a sharp eye for structure and a deep respect for voice.

Whether you’re polishing a manuscript for publication or tightening up academic work for a broader audience, I’ll work closely with you to elevate the language, keep the facts straight and make sure every sentence does its job.

Collaborative, detail-driven and honest—that’s what you can expect when we work together.
