We’ll help you tell clear stories that respect language, people and the world.

We work with individual writers, universities, charities, and other organisations to bring marginalised voices into the mainstream and increase diversity in writing. We are based in Portugal and we work with international clients.

Our role is to offer you an honest, supportive and imaginative service that can help you uncover the compelling details of your story and enhance its narrative power.

We are Melaina Barnes and Michael Langan, and we’re called Salmon Editorial because we know how to swim against the tide.

“Michael has given me the confidence and support to turn a vague dream of an extended project into a committed goal of creating my first collection of short stories.”
