Michelle Korir

Michelle is an editor with a keen interest in the development of the Kenyan publishing industry. A dedicated bibliophile, she is always eager to read, publish, and champion beautiful books that tell engaging stories.

She has years of experience in editing and content development in English and has
worked on a variety of fiction and non-fiction projects, including novels, children’s
storybooks, self-help books, training manuals, curriculum textbooks, and shortform literature. Committed to life-long learning, she appreciates how much her job teaches her about the world and how different cultures exist within it.

She is passionate about accessibility in the literary arts and is always thinking about how various disenfranchised communities can use language and storytelling to
empower themselves. She believes accessibility is an essential part of promoting a
culture of storytelling and is excited about the prospects that technology offers for the centring of diverse and decolonised narratives.

A writer as well, she has an MA in Creative Writing and her short stories and essays
have appeared in various African literary magazines and anthologies. She enjoys
stories that validate the spectrum of human experience and celebrate difference within our shared humanity.

Excellence, authenticity, community, and creativity are important to her, and these
values guide her work with clients to develop content that is both compelling and
impactful.
