Bonjour and Bienvenue!

Welcome to my website!

Not only do I love writing new adventures, reading good books, and editing spec fiction, I happen to be obsessed with all things French.

What about you?

What kinds of books do you read?

Do you write your own books or edit other authors’ novels?

What cultures are you fascinated with?

I can’t wait to learn more about you.

Why did I start this website?

When I started writing novels in 2010, I was so nervous about submitting my manuscripts to publishers, editors, and agents, I wanted to take my readers with me on my journey to publication.

Now, many years later, I have ten published novels, I am the acquisitions editor for L2L2 Publishing, and I wield my editing sword—I mean, pen—for some of the best authors in the business.

If I can do it, so can you.

Rejection hurts. It stings. I experienced far too much of it.

But you know what? It made me a stronger writer, gave me a thick skin to handle those less-than-stellar book reviews, and made me appreciate the glowing reviews that much more.

I have embarked on an exhilarating journey, and I want you to experience it with me. I want to share what I’ve learned to make your journey easier. And I want to get to know you better.

So here it is: my road to publication and beyond.

Come. Join me. Stay awhile. I hope there is something for you here.

Welcome, dear reader. I look forward to reading your comments, chatting with you about your favorite books, or hearing about your own publishing journey.

Let’s do this!

In Him,

Michele Israel Harper
