Hi, there! Thanks for taking the time to peruse the Cyber Highway. Let me introduce myself. I’m Michele L. Tune,  freelance writer and blogger. I enjoy writing the cyber highway. I created this site as a source of inspiration and encouragement to writers of all genres, or even the occasional passerby. From the beginning, I desired this stretch of Cyber Highway to be a warm, friendly community – a refuge from the turbulent freelance storm(s). It excites me to no end to have the opportunity to feel and see this very thing happening each and every day! As this site grows, so does the number of readers. They are writers of various ages, ethnic backgrounds, religions, from different walks of life. Some are just starting their own paths to follow their writing dreams. Others are seasoned, published all over, and willingly share their experiences and support in the comments. My (original and continuing) goal for Writing the Cyber Highway is to provide useful resources and a breath of fresh air to fellow writers, new or seasoned. I’d love for you to join me us!

A few topics you may find here are:

• markets to submit your work to
• reviews of books I recommend to enhance your writing
• inspiration and encouragement
• a peek into my writing struggles, failures, and accomplishments
• tips for getting published
• tips for developing relationships with editors
• how to organize your manuscripts and contracts
• how to keep track of your submissions and queries

What editors are saying:

My Husband I were looking for passionate writers to help us with our new project that involves educating others about the Raw Food Lifestyle. We were instantly captivated by Michele’s writings and hired her to be a regular writer for our site. She is an absolute delight to work with. Her articles are informative, practical, varied, and composed with a great deal of love. She is easy to work with; she completes her assignments ahead of schedule and comes up with innovative ideas to enhance our project. Her life is an inspiration to us and we know she deeply influences many others as well. She is a blessing and we are grateful to have her on our team! — Rick Cabados and Katy Joy Freeman, Founders and Editors, RawPeople.com

My wife, Kerrie and I, enjoyed working with Michele immensely. She provided us with everything we asked of her, and then some. Michele is genuine and has endless passion. It’s these qualities that make her writing shine. She’s not only a professional writer, but a friendly one who’ll go the extra mile. Working with her was a delightful experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. I definitely recommend her; I’m a big fan of her writing. — Tom & Kerrie Everitt, Editors, True Real Estate Stories (Vancouver, B.C.)

To date, Michele Tune has had three articles published on our site, MedHunters.com, which is an ezine and job board for healthcare professionals. Her writing is heartwarming, genuine, and honest. She has always been responsive to edits, questions, and follow-ups, and in general is a pleasure to work with.–Cynthia Piccolo, Editor, MedHunters magazine

“Michele Tune has been a joy to work with as we put together Penned from the Heart Vol. XIV. Her writing encourages those who have carried heavy burdens and gives them hope through the Gospel. God’s grace has granted her overcoming victories through much courage and faith in His Word. As she has stated, ‘God’s done a great many things for me, and I want to share, encourage and inspire through my writing.’ She has succeeded! — Fran Pratt, Editor, Penned from the Heart”

“Michele wrote several articles for my website write-from-home.com at the beginning of the year. Her articles were on-target, well-written and thoroughly researched. I highly recommend her writing/blogging services to anyone who is looking for a web-based writer.” — Amy Derby, Editor, Write-from-Home.com

“Michele is an excellent writer and all-around fantastic person! She treats everyone with genuine respect, goodwill, and concern. Some time ago, when I was ill and unable to post to my blog, Michele stepped forward and graciously volunteered to take the pressure off, sending me an informative, inspiring, and compassionate guest post—much to the delight of both my readers and me! The piece was as wonderful as it was popular! I feel privileged to have befriended Michele through our blogs, and reading her fine work always leaves me refreshed, inspired, and motivated to improve both my writing and my life! I heartily recommend Michele to anyone who is looking for an author who writes with sincerity, wisdom, compassion, and power. You won’t be disappointed!” – Jeanne Dininni, WritersNotes.Net
