Michelle Hope is a Seattle-based writer and editor. She has years of trade publishing experience as an editor at Seattle’s favorite indie publisher, Sasquatch Books, and has earned her MFA in Fiction and taught university-level writing classes. At Michelle Hope Editing, she’s worked on projects ranging from a graphic novel by George R. R. Martin to a YA novel by a Pulitzer Prize nominee, a literary fiction title nominated for the Booker Prize to many delicious New York Times best-selling romances and thrillers.
Michelle is a location-independent editor. While her home base is in Seattle, she’s been lucky to work on books from her laptop around the world. Recently, she spent two months living and working in Ubud, Bali, where she’d ride her scooter to the amazing Hubud coworking space in the jungle, do yoga in treehouses, and go on adventures and talk shop with the fabulous community of nomadic entrepreneurs and writers in town.
At home, Michelle spends a lot of time adventuring into Seattle’s creative world, including as a fiction editor at Pacifica Literary Review, a member of Seattle’s Hugo House and the Northwest Editors Guild, and has recently developed an addiction to screenprinting.
