    Reading and writing have always been a huge part of my life. I am attracted to these activities simply because I am curious and empathetic, want to know more and understand others. With a background in Education and Psychology, experience teaching English writing to children and adults, and working for non-profits in the field of mental health, I am uniquely positioned to listen to your needs and deliver. I have travelled fairly extensively and lived abroad for several years, which means I am sensitive to different cultures. I'm an expert researcher and writer in an academic style. In the last few months, I wrote over 76,000 words which helped to earn me distinctions at the post-graduate level. Besides researching and writing academic essays, I have written music reviews for a magazine for several years, copy for Seadon's Kickstarter campaign, marketing material, and my own short stories. I can help you with: - content writing - blog posts - editing and proofreading - ghost writing - creative storytelling - researched articles I am able to switch between various styles and pay attention to intention, audience, tone and register. My specialties include: Education, Psychology, Research Methodology, academic writing, mental health, veganism, cooking, travel, health and wellness. I have many more interests and love to learn about new topics. I hope I can help you with your writing needs! I pay attention to detail to ensure perfect spelling and grammar, logical flow and interesting content. I am new to Upwork, but not new to writing. Feel free to send me a message or arrange a meeting to discuss further. Looking forward to working with you!

    I am an experienced Developmental Editor and now focus on enabling the professional completion of a book from early beginnings. I will take your story line and objectives for the book and then develop the ChatGPT Prompts that will bring the book to life. This is an iterative process with the client providing feedback after each iteration. After four iterations I will then edit the book manually to ensure it is an easy read, flows well with no grammar or spelling errors and is without plagiarism.
