My
name is Michael Garrett, and I'm an internationally respected editor
and author. As credited in Mr. King's non-fiction book On Writing:
A Memoir of the Craft, I served as Stephen King's first editor.
I was also an Editorial Associate of the Writer's Digest School for
over ten years, and in a professional capacity I've edited the works
of such greats as Joyce Carol Oates, Harlan Ellison, Lawrence Block
and many others.
I've
been widely published since 1979, in periodicals ranging from Twilight
Zone magazine to my novel, Keeper, which sold out its
initial printing and was optioned for a movie. My short story, "At
the Count of Three," was also optioned as the pilot episode of
a late night cable television series. My works have been published in
England, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Spain, Finland and Russia, as well as in audio book format.
I serve as co-editor of the internationally award-winning Hot Blood
anthology series, a popular selection of the Doubleday, Mystery, Literary
Guild, and Science Fiction Book Clubs. Since 1987 I have co-edited ten
volumes for Pocket Books and three volumes for Kensington. The series
has also been optioned for television.
Since 1986 I have presented highly acclaimed writing workshops at major
colleges and universities across the nation. A featured speaker at numerous
writers' conferences, I currently serve on the Advisory Board of Kentucky's
Green River Writers.
My editorial services are indexed in the Literary
Marketplace, the publishing industry's leading directory of professional
services.
