| Introduction | My name is Michelle, and when I started this blog I was at the beginning of a career change. After a successful decade-long career as a middle school English teacher, I decided to shift lanes and move into the world of publishing at the start of an industry-wide paradigm shift. Career number two had humble beginnings, where I spent about six months working as a bookseller in the children's and teen departments of my local Barnes & Noble. Then I scored a fabulous internship at a Literary Agency, which was the inspiration for this blog. Now I'm working as an independent contractor and freelance editor in NYC. I was born and raised on Long Island, in New York, and now live in Queens. |
| Interests | Human Interaction [seems like a hobby these days], Roller Derby (Rebels...BOOM!), Ballet Dancing, Recreational play-sword-fighting, the dark art of figurative language called sarcasm, live rock shows, my Boston Terrier, action movies, SMOOTHIES, reading, writing, drawing (though I'm terrible at it), volunteer work. |
| Favorite movies | Hands down, my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. I know just about every word, even some of it in Spanish, and own "The Totally Geeky Guide to the Princess Bride". Yea, that kinda favorite ;-) |
| Favorite music | This is too hard! I love so many different things. Today's playlist includes the Black Keys, some old-school D'Angelo. |
