Michael Fleming 68 Brook Street Brattleboro, VT 05301 voice: (802) 451-9763 wyomike@earthlink.net www.dutchgirl.com/foxpaws	All good writing is essentially storytelling. No matter what you’re writing—a thesis, a chapter, a report, a biography, a proposal, a novel, a poem—successful communication depends on understanding your reader’s needs and developing your ideas along a single, clear, sustained line of thought. I specialize in developmental editing of memoirs and literary projects, but the storytelling model applies to every kind of writing. My editorial experience ranges from editing the memoirs of a real-estate mogul to annotating the plays in The Norton Anthology of Drama to copyediting the last two editions of The Norton Introduction to Literature. Please see my CV.
