      I demand a comfy chair reserved for my use any time I'm in town, as well. Though, I admit--coffee mug? Whoohoo!

      Love,
      Ames

Connected as Michelle Witte (527 friends)

All my life I've been passionate about reading and writing, which has led to a career as a book editor, with stops along the way to report and edit for newspapers.

Now I want to turn that passion toward selling books and building a community of readers and writers. I plan to not only sell books in Fire Petal Books, but also to teach writing classes and offer freelance editorial services for writers.

For those requesting the rewards for query and manuscript critiques, here are my credentials:

Currently an editor with Gibbs Smith, a national nonfiction publisher that publishes, among many other things, children's activity books and kids cookbooks. I've been there 3 years.

Previously I spent 2 years working as a copyeditor (and for several months as a community reporter) with the Deseret Morning News.
