CREATOR · WRITER · HEALER

"I loved working with Michalla. Not only is she a beautiful writer, but she was incredibly open to feedback, turned around thoughtful revisions quickly, and made my life as easy as an author can. All in all, she was a dream to work with." 

-Noah Michelson (Director of HuffPost Personal)

"I loved working with Michalla from concept to production. Her series television pitch was creative, her show-hosting skills were poignant and charming, and she was a professional joy to work with."

 -Kerri Zane (Emmy Award-Winning Executive Producer) 

"There’s a word I keep coming back to when a writer has complete command of the structure, pacing, and poetry of her sentences—ease. Michalla has it. Her prose moves through the human condition with the confidence of someone who has worked to understand it and forgive it. You’ll find empathy, humor, and wisdom in every breath."

-Sheila Hamilton (Author, Emmy Award-Winning Journalist, Podcast Host,  & CEO at Beyond Well Media)

"Michalla has a sharp eye for ordinary details that carry extraordinary emotional weight: a father’s hand dangling beside a mattress or a grandfather’s parting gift of an eraser. In her memoir-in-progress, Healing What Raised Me, sensory detail and vivid recreation of a child’s perspective reveal affection entangled with harm. The strongest scenes hold tenderness, dark humor, and pain together, such that readers sense how deeply the smallest of gestures can shape a life."
