Elle Jones is Elle Michael River

author• content creator • writing coach

Hi! I’m Emily Jones, writing fiction under my pen name, Elle Michael River. I craft curious fiction from beyond the rabbit hole and perform heart surgery on manuscripts missing their souls. Below is my fiction portfolio.

I also write content and offer personalized creation coaching. I specialize in storytelling, which includes fiction writing, content writing, guest blogging, designing and performing theatrical pieces, and ghostwriting. As a writing coach, I support writers as they pen their novels, offer developmental editing and manuscript assessments, and help artists build and organize their portfolios. I have my MFA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and my BA in English from Thomas Edison State University.

I run exclusively on hazelnut coffee, fluffy cats, and an unbridled weirdness some might call creativity, but I'd love to tell you a story. For my fiction work, keep scrolling. To hire me as a content writer or writing coach, click on the buttons below.

What People Say

Thank you for all the work you did to help me with this book. You pushed me, inspired me, and many times held the whole mess together. You were much more than an editor! I can't wait to work with you again!
William Lobb
Author, 'The Three Lives of Richie O'Malley'
She not only captured the essence of my novel 'Nights Arose' but translated the thoughts and emotions in the story into a cohesive description for all to read. If you're looking for a great blogger of your story, Elle is the person.
Andrea Roche
Author, 'Nights Arose'
Elle, this review was utterly stunning! Everything from the retell to the praise to the critique. Blew me away. Honestly one of my favorite reviews to date. Thank you for reading and taking the time to write such an eloquent piece.

Fiction

Writing the End of the World

In 2019, I began work on my novel Her. Like most of my ideas, it started as an image: a mother holding her young daughter, looking out over a crumbling road as a weary sun set on a sickened, dying world. I didn’t know then—how could anyone?

It was motivating, but probably not in the way Hollis intended it.
