Editing, Proofreading, Manuscript Evaluation

Mr. Michael LaRocca was the staff editor for a publisher which had contacted me for my short story collection 'Through Other Eyes'. I am happy to say that he did a thoroughly competent, professional job as an editor, and my book was improved as a result.
 
I can thoroughly recommend Michael's professional skills and knowledge. As an editor, he is able to satisfy the highest standards. He is meticulous, knowledgeable and competent.
 
His technique is to encourage the writer, while picking up all the faults, whether at the technical level of grammar, spelling and punctuation, or at the deeper levels of plot, characterization and description.

Michael LaRocca is one of my favorite writers. He's written superb books, poetry, short stories and he has more websites than I can track. This transplanted American teaches in China and writes for the world. His book excerpts are fascinating. He is a philosopher, a man of depth and a very human writer. I feel his writings viscerally, in my blood, bone and gut. Though some are painful to read, they resonate with compassion. The more of his work I read, the more I crave. Michael also offers his freely given guidance to other writers and those who strive for self-expression. This is a site I savor."
