TESTIMONIALS
“Ceilidh’s expertise as a writer is truly commendable. Collaborating with her on my fashion design book was an enriching experience. Her insightful tips on structuring and formatting were invaluable, enhancing the overall quality of the project. Ceilidh’s storytelling and skillfulness added a captivating layer to the narrative. Working with her was not just productive but also inspiring. I highly recommend Ceilidh for her exceptional skills and unwavering dedication to the craft.”
“Ceilidh was such a wonderful advisor over the months we worked together. She asked great, pointed questions and her observations on my writing were sometimes so spot-on that I wondered if she was somehow reading all of my thoughts. Her kind encouragement and her words of wisdom about authoring a book have made a real difference in my work. I feel so lucky to know her and have been coached by her.”
-Jessie Rothwell, AWP mentee
“I recommended Ceilidh Michelle to a writer working on a book of short stories - his first attempt at fiction. The progress from the first draft to completion was palpable. Several of the stories ended up being finalists in a U.S. fiction writers competition. The credit goes to Ceilidh’s ability as a scholar as well as published writer to motivate the rawest of talent.”
“I am a musician and I've been in the writer's room for a few television shows. I read and loved her book so I hired her to help me edit and improve my novel. She has done an impeccable job, giving me clear and concise notes and helping me organize my ideas.”
