What We've Become

Beyond Writing began as one writer serving orders on Fiverr. Seven years, 750 orders, and 500 unique clients later, we’re a fully fledged team with a diverse range of expertise and capabilities.

Founded by author Michael Jaymes, Beyond Writing is a collective of writers, creatives, and strategists who collaborate to ensure every project receives the care and attention it deserves.

Working as a team not only leads to a cleaner final project, it allows for creativity to blossom in ways that are unexpected and unforgettable, bucking the trends that plague so much modern writing and content.

The best version of any work comes through the process of working with a team. We can’t wait to be yours.

And What We Continue to Be

Michael Jaymes

Michael Jaymes is an author and writing coach from Scranton, PA. His love for writing developed at a young age when a close friend passed away. In response to the tragedy, Michael wrote a poem, which received an award in a state-wide fine arts competition. The admiration sparked a fire within him, and a passion was born.

In 2019, he pursued studying story structure and began his business, offering services such as outlining, editing, and consulting. In 5 years, he delivered over 700 orders, with one client receiving awards for their work, and another going on to be a best-seller on Amazon.

Now residing in Greensboro, NC, Michael continues to write his own works and serve clients both online and locally within his community.

His favorite genres to both read and write in include: Literary Suspense, Mystery, Thriller, Drama.

Shane Khunphixay

Shane studied Creative Writing, Screenwriting, and Cinematography at FCC in Fresno, California. After contacting Michael for outline assistance, they became great friends. A few years later, Shane joined the team.

He's ghostwritten and outlined numerous book length projects that have gone on to publication. He's also assisted writers elevate their stories through rewrite and early draft feedback.

His preferred genres are action, comedy, and horror. Located on the West Coast, he's also the teams dedicated video editor, with experience producing anime music videos, docu-style YouTube videos, and social media clips.

Cody Lee

Cody is a writer and storyteller based in North Carolina. Born and raised in a log cabin in the hill country of Texas, he spent his formative years in the city of Austin. He earned his MFA in Creative Writing from UNC-Greensboro where he served as editor of The Greensboro Review. He's published both fiction and nonfiction in numerous reputable journals. He has run the gamut of things you can do with a "useless" English Degree (teacher, librarian, bookseller, copywriter) but is most passionate about using this experience to help others bring their ideas to life. Currently he's at work getting his first novel published. His favorite genres are: literary, psychology, comedy, and drama.

Fantastic job. Took a list of vague notes and turned them into a fully fleshed out story that kept the laughs and action rolling in at a steady pace. Extremely easy to work with, gave minimal direction and knocked it out of the park.
