About

You know that book you've always wanted to write? Michael Simon will help you write it.

"Michael Simon is a masterful teller of tales that made me care." --Stuart M. Kaminsky, Novelist and Screenwriter

Michael Simon is a published novelist and playwright. He can help you write your novel, memoir or other nonfiction book, play, thesis or dissertation.

Michael will help you clarify your ideas, create a structure that suits the material, and write (or rewrite) your project so it's ready to launch.

"Without Michael, my book would be no more than a pile of paper with some angry words on it." --Murray Schneps, Attorney. Author of "I See Your Face Before Me: A Father's Promise"

Services fall into four categories, depending on what you need:

Writing Coach: Support from "Idea" to Agent.
We'll break down a huge project into small short-term goals and touch base at every step along the way, from clarifying your ideas to submitting to agents.

Book Doctor: Feedback that Shows You the Way Forward.
We'll focus on what you've accomplished, and what can still be developed, not "what doesn't work" but what we can do next.

Ghost Writer: I take on some portion of the writing or rewriting.

Editor: I'll introduce you to an editing process that will give each line more impact.

"Simon's writing crackles with smarts and throbs with suspense." --Texas Monthly

With ten years of experience teaching college writing classes, Michael is the co-author of the Off-Broadway hit "Murder at Minsing Manor" (published by Samuel French) and the author of the Dan Reles novels: "Dirty Sally," "Body Scissors," "Little Faith" and "The Last Jew Standing," all published by Viking.

"I loved this book. It's brave, smart, intense and human--just like lead character Dan Reles and author Michael Simon." --Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher novels

Call now to schedule your 15-minute phone consultation to find out how Michael can help you realize your dream and write your book!
