About the
COACH
From combat boots to bookshelves — Michelle Angelo builds writers the way the military builds soldiers: with discipline, strategy, and heart. She launched Ink & Instinct to turn writing into a battlefield for truth — a place where overlooked voices find power, purpose, and a squad that has their back. Through her work as a coach, author, and veteran, Michelle helps writers transform their stories into unapologetic literature that leaves a lasting footprint.

The Vision Compass | Ink & Instinct
Purpose
Before we train writers, we align missions. The Vision Compass is Ink & Instinct’s north star — guiding every class, every cadet, and every creative story we help shape.
MISSION STATEMENT
To train and equip writers to turn raw stories into unapologetic literature — building power and purpose in their voice.
VISION STATEMENT
To build a world where every writer feels seen, heard, supported, and unapologetic enough to use their voice to shift culture and leave a lasting footprint.
FROM BATTLE PLAN TO BOOK LAUNCH
FROM IDEA
Where your story begins.
This stage transforms your spark, concept, or life experience into a clear, structured direction. We help you identify your core message, define your audience, and shape the vision of your book. No more confusion or scattered thoughts — just clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation.
Clarity. Direction. Purpose.
TO MANUSCRIPT
Where your voice takes shape.
Here, your idea becomes a living draft. Through coaching, guidance, and structured writing support, you build chapters, develop flow, strengthen storytelling, and create a manuscript with purpose and momentum. This is where discipline meets creativity — and where writers finally stop starting over.
Structure. Momentum. Storytelling.
TO BOOK
Where your story becomes a finished product.
This is the transformation stage — refining your manuscript, polishing your narrative, and preparing it for publication. We guide you through editing, structure, and the final steps that turn your work into a powerful, professional-quality book. This is where your story leaves your hands and enters the world.
Refinement. Completion. Impact.
