Human stories, strategically told.

Michelle Lewis

I’m Michelle Lewis, an award-winning author, journalist, audio producer, and digital strategist based in Maine. Across my work in print, digital, and audio, I’ve interviewed rock stars, authors, artists, entrepreneurs, and community members, always with the same aim: understanding what people do, what they care about, and why it matters.

I tell human-centered stories that help people recognize themselves in their work and in their community. For businesses and organizations, those stories can bring forward the experiences of members, volunteers, clients, employees, donors, and beneficiaries, revealing the value behind their work and making their mission more visible.

Ready to turn real voices into lasting story assets?

Whether you want to spotlight one remarkable person or build a recurring story series around your mission, the process begins with a guided recorded interview.
