Mishael Austin Witty (workingmomwm)

I am a part-time freelance writer and editor. I take on big jobs and small, so if you need someone to write for you or read over something you’ve already written to check for errors, don’t hesitate to contact me. My rates are (I think) incredibly reasonable, although I do charge more than a non-native English speaker living in Asia.

Check out my writing/editing website: http://bluebrownbooks.com/

And my blog that focuses on food, family, healthy living, and giving: wittyvittles.com.

I am a self-published author. My four-star novel,SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format. Check it out here: http://amzn.to/AgbAa6

I also have a sweet Christmas novella available on Amazon called BELIEVE IN ME. Here's the link to that: http://amzn.to/NotU7A

If you do read my book, please leave a review. I'd love to know what you thought of them!
