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"

John Perlin, "A Forest Journey"

Jennifer Allen, "Mālama Honua"

Annie Leonard, "Protest"

Hillary Rosner, "Roam"

Howie Wolkes, "Big Wild" (Fall 2026)

Riverhorse Nakadate, "Waterlines" (August 2026)

Barry Blanchard, "The Echo" (Fall 2026)

Amanda Mander, "Wild Kin" (Fall 2026)

Mark Easter, "The Blue Plate"*

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.
