Freelance Editor
Michael Mohr is a former literary agent’s assistant. Now a freelance editor, his emphasis is developmental editing of novels and memoirs. In general, he tends to focus on realist/literary novels, YA, suspense/action, and fantasy/sci-fi. He does not work with mystery or middle grade books. The most successful and well known of his clients would be Christian Picciolini, who published Romantic Violence: Memoirs of an American Skinhead, in 2015, Christian’s true tale of becoming one of the first neo-Nazi skinheads in America in the mid-1980s. (He got out in the 90s, changed his life, and formed Life After Hate, a non-profit that teaches diversity, love, and acceptance, helping kids disentangle from gang life and extremist groups.) A writer himself, Michael’s fiction and nonfiction has appeared in many magazines and journals, including Writers’ Digest, The Kimberley Cameron & Associates Literary Agency Blog, and MASH.
