Michael Totten
artful editor
Michael J. Totten is an award-winning journalist and the author of ten books, including his most recent, Write, Edit, Publish. His first book, The Road to Fatima Gate, won the Washington Institute Book Prize. His fifth, Resurrection, has been optioned for film. He edits books for major publishers, provides the full spectrum of independent publishing services (from editing to paperback and e-book design), coaches beginning and semiprofessional writers, and knows how to write the kinds of book proposals that traditional publishers want. While he used to sneak into police states without authorization and dodge incoming rocket fire as a war correspondent, he now lives quietly in Oregon with his wife and two cats.
