About Me

Hi! I'm Misha, and I love the written word. My passion for reading and writing started back when I was in elementary school. I discovered romance novels as a teenager, and there was no turning back from becoming a voracious reader. My favorite thing to do is curl up with a good book.

​I have a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington, and I am a member of ACES: The Society for Editing and the Editorial Freelancers Association. I started Verity Ink Editorial in 2019. It's a privilege partnering with authors to help them polish their words and get their manuscripts ready for publication.

My Core Values

  • Clear communication is essential. Expectations are set upfront, including the scope of work and the schedule. You are always welcome to reach out to me at any time during the editing process.

  • Positive feedback is important. I share all the things I enjoyed and that are working well in your story, cheering you on as you work toward your goals.

  • The editor-author relationship is collaborative. We work together to make your manuscript shine. Your questions and concerns are always addressed.

  • I respect agreed-upon timelines, delivering my work on time (or even early!) and as detailed in the service agreement. You can also count on me to respond to emails in a timely manner.

  • Delivering high-quality work is a requirement. I take my time, focusing on accuracy and thoughtful feedback, so you get the most from your investment.
