HI THERE!
My name is Michaela Delaney.
I’m a South-African book editor who believes words are pure magic. I specialise in fantasy, romantasy, romance, science fiction and YA, working with independent authors and publishing professionals around the world. Editing is, to me, a balance of artistry, empathy, and language at its most transformative.

WORK WITH MICHAELA
Editing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you're seeking guidance, refinement, or final polish, there's a service tailored just for your story.
CONSULTING
Unsure where to begin? Let’s sit down, virtually, and talk it through. Whether you prefer a call, collaborative document, or email exchange, there’s space here for you.
EDITING
Proofreading, line editing, or developmental editing — not sure which you need? That’s okay. I’ll walk you through each and help you choose what fits your manuscript best.
FORMATTING
You have an edited book sitting in front of you. What’s next? I offer formatting for both eBook and print, taking care of the technical interior design and any light graphic work your book may need.
