Mischa McGehee – Editor

15+ years editing novels

50+ published works

Long-term collaborations with best-selling authors

Millions of copies sold worldwide

I’m a fiction editor with 15+ years of experience helping novelists refine manuscripts with precision, clarity, and care. I’ve worked across genres including thrillers, psychological suspense, horror, paranormal, mystery, detective fiction, time travel, action adventure, and medical drama, always with the same goal: to strengthen the manuscript without compromising the voice that makes it yours.

My editing style is meticulous, perceptive, and collaborative. I ask hard questions, notice what others miss, and help authors uncover stronger choices at every level of the work, from structure and pacing to language and consistency. Clients come to me not for generic feedback, but for careful editorial partnership rooted in experience, honesty, and respect for the story they are trying to tell.

I offer a full range of editorial services, from developmental insight to copy editing and final proofreading, as well as full manuscript partnerships for authors who want continuity and deeper, long-term collaboration across every stage of the process. For projects that require efficiency, I also provide streamlined turnaround times for copy editing and proofreading without compromising the level of care given to the work.

Because I work closely and intentionally, I take on a limited number of projects at a time.
