The Mighty Pacific

Harvey McCloud, writer and editor
Me, sunny day in Seattle

Hello and welcome to PacificWriter.com. My name is Harvey McCloud (PhD Kansas University, 2002), a professional writer, ghostwriter, and editor for more than 20 years. During that time, I've worked with many clients I count as friends even though I may have met them only by phone and e-mail.

I now live in the Pacific Northwest in Boise, Idaho, just a few hundred miles from the Big Ocean. I formerly lived in Portland, Oregon, and have traveled widely over the Pacific states of Oregon, Washington, and California, with a few side trips to Hawaii, Alaska, British Columbia, and Western Mexico. I love the Pacific all the way up and down. Hence the name.

I believe in karma, at least as it's reflected in the following principle: Do a good job and your clients will return and tell others. It must be working because the majority of my writing and editing is for former clients and those they refer to me. Of course, I always enjoy getting to know new clients. 

I have a can-do attitude and my versatility is unmatched. My successful projects include:

Ghostwriting

  • memoirs and other personal texts
  • business books, presentations, and articles
  • fiction in several genres
  • books on physical and mental health and chronic pain
  • books on prison education, U.S. history, and New York City
  • motivational books and booklets
  • children's fiction (text, not pictures)
  • published papers for academic journals in economics, international politics, sociology, and wetlands management

Substantive editing and copy editing

  • dissertation assistance in many subject areas: writing, rewriting, editing, research, statistics, qualitative analysis, and advising
  • technical editing and copyediting of lengthy EPA, engineering, and archaeological site plan documents
  • copy editing and proofreading for many major academic journals, including Neuroscience, Wildlife Management, and Ecology
