about me

I have removed my own novel, but continue to read works here. I leave feedback when I have something constructive to say, but rather than leave duplicate feedback on thousands of books, I prefer to simply back the book without comment if I do not have any specific feedback.

I am also available for editing, if anyone is looking for editing assistance.

I am a 30 year old writer who has been writing since I was 6 years old. Each November, I participate in National Novel Writing Month (www.nanowrimo.org), and that is where I have learned how to produce my best work by writing first and editing later. My favorite type of writing is Young Adult Fiction. Currently, I have one Young Adult Novel completed and ready to begin looking for publication. As I begin the process of introducing the novel here and networking with other writers, I am working on my next two novels. I am working on a sort of series of stories about young girls dealing with some of the difficult taboo subjects that many young girls face.

I am married with two adopted children and another on the way. I can't remember a time when I didn't love to write, and I have dreamed of publication since I was about 12. I have a degree in English and am working on a degree in Early Childhood Special Education. When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading, homeschooling our children, playing the piano and guitar, and taking pictures.

I also enjoy doing some freelance editing on the side; feel free to email or message me if you are looking for an editor. kaleigh.michaels@gmail.com

I love to read amazing works - and I love that there are so many of them right at my fingertips here on Authonomy. I return all reads, and try to always give some type of feedback when I read. I try to give constructive criticism and appreciate the same from my readers. However, I do not back works simply to get my own work backed. I will shelve works that I believe are ready for publication or will be ready with the right editing.
