Michele Perry – Editor

The world needs your words, and I am here to help you get them out there!I am a book editor who has project managed, structurally edited, copyedited and proofread hundreds of adult and children's non-fiction, narrative non-fiction, fiction and educational products for editorial service agencies and publishers such as The University of Queensland Press, Hardie Grant Books, Murdoch Books, New Holland Publishers, and Macmillan, to name a few. In addition to this, I have worked with indie authors all over the world, assisting them in perfecting their stories and guiding them on their publishing journeys, be it self-publishing or trade publishing. So, I know my way around all the particular spelling styles for both AU/UK spelling and US spelling, as well as being familiar with the CMoS, Oxford, and Wiley style guides.I pride myself on the collaborative relationship I instil between myself and the author, and I do all I can to make the 'editorial process' as enjoyable, enlightening and effortless as possible. MY EYES ARE YOURS ... and I offer manuscript assessments, developmental edits, copyedits and proofreads all for a very affordable price. And if you want more information or a sample of how each of these editorial services can help, just let me know!

Together we can perfect your plot, nail your narrative and create characters that burst from the pages, because that is what editing is all about - working 'together' to create the book of your dreams.

If we go on this editorial journey together, I can guarantee that your story will be ready for the world - and we will have a wonderful time bringing your story to life!

REVIEWS/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

'Firstly, I would like to thank Michele, my fantastic editor. Without your help, guidance and advice, this book would not be what it is today. I will always remember your crucial contributions and the way you went above and beyond to help as much as you could.'

Michael McDermott - 'In the Name of the Father'

'First thank you in this book has to go to my amazing editor, Michele, whose comments like ‘LOVE THIS!!!’ made me smile during a really dark time. And of course, those comments like ‘I thought he went back to the mainland?’ are the only reason this book now has fewer pesky plot holes.'

T J Withers Ryan - 'Fire Warriors on the Mountain'

'As an author, it’s imperative to have a trusted editor work with you to bring your story to life. Michele has a natural gift for helping an author perfect their words. Her attention to detail, expertise in all things editorial, and her passion and dedication made working with her such a joy. She also greatly assisted me in navigating the publishing world successfully – a winning combination to have as a first time author. I look forward to working with her again on my next book!'
