“Michele was a priceless resource as we worked through the development editing of our book, So You Want To Start A Side Hustle. She provided an extremely firm hand when necessary, creating the real clarity we needed to deliver our messaging in a succinct way. She was also flexible and easy to collaborate with as Carrie and I worked through our creative differences and styles. At times, Michele provided clutch transitional sentences or missing thoughts, empowering us to push through the most challenging times of the editing process. Essentially, Michele helped us better identify our own voice and elevate our capacity to communicate it. She did all this with a sense of urgency around our delivery dates and being mindful of our publisher’s requests. We couldn’t recommend her services more for authors truly looking to elevate their writing. If we could have her read everything we write, we would! In short, Michele over delivered. ”

“Michele brings an excitement to each author’s project and an incredible ability to look at the book from the target market’s point of view.  In my case, I greatly benefited from her eye for clarity and appreciated her disciplined sense of follow-through.  She was my developmental editor and I felt she sincerely listened to me, cared about my opinion, and at the same time helped keep me focused on our shared vision for The Prepared Investor.  Simply put, she’s incredible!  I enjoyed our time together and learned a great deal from her.  I highly recommend her services to other authors, especially non-fiction writers.  Two thumbs up!” — Christopher  Manske, author of The Prepared Investor: How to Prevent the Next Crisis from Affecting Your Financial Independence

Michele Matrisciani is everything you want in an editor – and quite a bit more! We truly felt that she cared about our book as much as we did. Instead of changing our words, Michele magically and masterfully molded them into exactly what we were trying to say. She is a true professional and talented beyond measure. If you are considering working with Michele, stop reading and hire her immediately – it will exponentially increase your chances of turning out a bestseller!

Michele Matrisciani pushed me to limits as a writer that I never thought I could reach. My mission as an author is to empower and educate, which sometimes requires opening up old wounds in order to find the gems of wisdom for my readers. Michele’s support, dedication, guidance, and instincts for self-help and storytelling supported me through that process. She helped me find my voice.

Anyone who has worked with Michele knows that she is a ball of high energy, imagination, brains, and skill. For any editorial project, she’s on the top of my list. I tell my book coaching clients that they’d be lucky to have her work on their book. A gem.

After working in the industry for twenty-plus years, I can honestly say that I’ve never worked with a fellow publishing professional who excels on so many levels and in so many different capacities as Michele Matrisciani. Her editorial instincts are consistently spot on and so insightful as to be gifted. She has great empathy for fellow creatives and their creations, yet has a master’s grasp of the realities and processes involved in turning out a bestselling title; this translates into the rare ability of merging art and commerce into critical successes that don’t sacrifice the integrity of the artist or their work. Michele is a terrific human being and a professional of the highest ilk. A book whisperer.

All authors should be so fortunate to have an editor like Michele Matrisciani in their corner.

Writing a book was the toughest thing I’ve done in my life. Luckily I had Michele Matrisciani in my corner. She was part editor, part coach, part cheerleader. And ALL valuable! Her experience with the inner workings of the publishing world saved me time and months of work. If I write another book she will be my first call.
