Paul Vachon

Paul Vachon – Editor

I'm an author and freelance writer. I've written books on history, and articles for a variety of trade and consumer publications.

Overview

I specialize in writing that is thoughtful and methodical--whatever the genre! AS an author, I've written books (5 to date) that focus on the history of my are (Detroit). I've also contributed to publications such as STORES, Inbound Logistics, Michigan Meetings and Events, the HISTORY Channel Magazine, Pacific Standard Online, HOUR Detroit and others.

My subjects are as broad as a profile on a boat building school in northern Michigan, a review of some of Detroit's most intimate meeting venues, plus reports on some of the most cutting edge software used in the retail trade.

I've also edited two travel guidebooks to Michigan.

My mantra is Service. I capitalize the word intentionally. I NEVER miss a deadline, and always respond promptly to any request for revisions to my work. I take great pride in satisfying my clients.
