Hi, I’m Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling novelist, small press publisher, and veteran writing teacher.

I've been mentoring writers for more than twenty years. I am the author of six novels and two story collections. I am also the founder and publisher of Fiction Attic Press, which publishes fiction and memoir by emerging and established writers. I have taught in the Masters of Fine Arts programs in Creative Writing at several San Francisco Bay Area universities, and have designed online novel writing courses for Stanford Continuing Studies. In 2018, I founded Fiction Master Class to create a supportive, inspiring, craft-focused environment to help beginning and experienced writers reach their goals.


When you enroll in the 2024 Masterclass Bundle, you get one-on-one access to my expertise, as well as membership in a passionate writing community.
