Now Offering Crime/Mystery Ghostwriting
I’m Michael, a published crime fiction author, developmental editor, and story structure expert who helps clients turn raw ideas into compelling, well-structured fiction.
I now offer crime fiction and mystery ghostwriting, with a process designed to help clients move from concept to finished manuscript with clarity and confidence. I can work from your existing idea, build from your notes, or develop a story concept based on your direction. From there, I create a detailed novel outline or short story outline for your review and approval before moving into the drafting stage.
Once the outline is approved, I write a clean rough draft that is organized, readable, and ready for the editing process.
My specialties include:
✔ Crime Fiction Ghostwriting
✔ Mystery Ghostwriting
✔ Historical Crime and Mystery Short Stories
✔ Detailed Novel and Short Story Outlining
✔ Developmental Editing
✔ Story Structure and Plot Development
For over a decade, I’ve taught writers how to build stories that work. Since 2012, I’ve created 14 online writing courses with more than 49,500 students enrolled and over 1,200 reviews averaging 4.3 out of 5 stars. My background in storytelling, structure, pacing, and character development allows me to create fiction that is both engaging and structurally sound.
What working with me looks like:
You bring the idea, notes, concept, or even just the premise
I develop the story into a detailed outline for your approval
After approval, I write a clean rough draft
You receive a strong manuscript foundation ready for an editor
I specialize in stories that need tension, strong reveals, layered suspects, believable characters, and satisfying endings. If you’re looking for a writer who understands crime fiction, mystery structure, and investigative storytelling, I’d love to discuss your project.

You’ve written the manuscript. It’s almost there. But something feels off.
Maybe the middle drags.
Maybe your characters are doing… things… but not feeling things.
Or maybe you’ve read your own book so many times, even the plot twists aren’t surprising anymore.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a Developmental Editor & Beta Reader who helps writers (and modern storytellers) turn “this is decent” into “I can’t put this down.”
And no I won’t just say “this is good” and disappear.
What I Actually Do (Beyond Basic Beta Reading)
I read your manuscript like a real reader but think like an editor.
That means I’ll show you:
✅Where readers might lose interest (and why)
✅Where your characters feel flat or finally come alive
✅Where pacing dips, drags, or rushes
✅Where your story almost hits emotionally…but doesn’t quite land
Then I give you clear, actionable feedback so you know exactly what to fix (no vague “improve this” comments here).
What You’ll Get
✅A detailed reader report (strengths + what’s holding the story back)
✅In-line comments showing real-time reader reactions
✅Big-picture feedback on structure, pacing, and character arcs
✅Honest insights (with zero sugarcoating—but also zero discouragement)
✅Practical next steps so you’re not stuck wondering “what now?”
Yes I work with:
Fiction (Romance, Thriller, Mystery, Character-Driven Stories)
Memoir & Narrative Nonfiction
But also…
I help:
✅Coaches & personal brands turn life stories into compelling content
✅Content creators & YouTubers refine storytelling scripts
✅Digital product creators improve reader engagement in ebooks
Because storytelling isn’t just for books anymore it’s how people sell, connect, and build audiences.
Why Clients Like Working With Me
✅I don’t “over-edit” your voice I strengthen it
✅I catch what readers feel, not just what’s written
✅I’m honest but not brutal (there’s a difference)
✅I deliver feedback you can actually use
You Should Probably Hire Me If…
Your manuscript feels close… but not quite right
You’re worried readers might get bored halfway through
Your characters aren’t hitting emotionally
You want real feedback before publishing (not just compliments from friends)
At the end of the day, my goal is simple:
Help you create something readers don’t just finish… but remember.
If that’s what you’re aiming for, send me a message let’s take a look at what you’ve built.
