Not a poet, but when it comes to sports, business/investing, entertainment and pop culture, I know it! I possess six years of award-winning experience writing professionally in these areas as a freelance writer, reporter, and editor. I write articles and can be YourDude for YouTube scriptwriting as well! When not strengthening my writing by producing articles or mind via a good book, I enjoy lifting weights, lifting poles to catch fish, lifting spirits with a good joke/comedy and following professional sports.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Upwork clients! I have had the pleasure of being on Upwork since 2014. Want to work together? Here are my rates. HOURLY EDITING JOBS: $40 proofread (egregious errors only) (intermediate- to advanced-level writing) $45 medium-level copyedit using AP Style, proofread (intermediate- to advanced-level writing) $50 substantive editing, meticulous copyedit using AP style, fact-checking, rewrites as necessary (any level of writing, including beginners) FLAT-RATE JOBS (Web and Print Editing, Marketing, Writing, Social Media): As of June 6, 2024, Upwork requires payment to apply for ANY job, even if YOU invite me. For this reason, I only accept private job invites. Ideally, you're interested in one of my Upwork Projects, which spells out what I can offer for flat-rate work. WRITING PRICING BREAKDOWN: $40 minimal research, mandatory byline, general articles $50 investigative research articles, fact-checking, editing, mandatory byline MEETINGS/CONSULTATIONS: $25 per 30 minutes $50 per hour ------------------------------------- MORE ABOUT SHAMONTIEL: I am a full-time freelancer with 19 years of journalism and editing experience, 16 years of digital editing experience, six years in mid-level management roles, 22 years of administrative experience, and 25 years of social media experience. I've also completed approximately 253 interviews with professional experts in psychology, veganism and vegetarianism, environmentalism, real estate, startups, civil law, pet health, retail marketing, and technology news. Never one to put all my (cage-free) eggs in one basket, side gigs have taught me as much as full-time employment. For more than two decades, I held a quarterly job with a local credit union. Tasks included filing, faxing, scanning, mail preparation, transcribing meeting minutes and editing their newsletter. I'd still work there if the credit union hadn't merged with a larger corporation. That job taught me a lot about business, money management, taxes and investing. Post-grad school, I was also a two-year switchboard receptionist for a claims management company, which further improved my administrative skills. Outside of the financial and publishing industry, my volunteer leadership projects included being a two-year condo board president and treasurer, a five-time Toastmasters officer, and a yearlong host of a storytelling club. Ideal Client: My CliftonStrengths results are Achiever, Command, Executor and Influencer, meaning I excel in leadership positions with minimal supervision. I thrive in virtual work environments with clients who communicate well, give constructive feedback, are respectful of a work-life balance and prefer hourly work (or 48-hour-max review times with flat-rate jobs). My long-term clients are also quite fond of Upwork Messenger, Slack, Asana, Loom and/or email as a primary way to connect. Does that describe you? I'd love to hear from you then.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a freelance writer and editor, with most of my experience being in website copy, magazine articles, short stories, books, news stories, in-store marketing and product copy. I have worked at advertising agencies for over five years as both a copywriter and editor, with a lot of my time dedicated to writing and editing product copy for Target, but I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to grow my own business. I have worked with AP style and Chicago style most extensively, but I have also created and followed specific brand voice guidelines for each client that I've worked with. In my free time, I love to go to movies, read books, write for my own personal projects (not surprising for a writer and editor I suppose), watch reality shows and explore different coffee shops around town. I'm so glad that you found my profile, and I'm excited to be able to help you take on your projects with confidence!

Real estate professionals, real estate investors, and small business owners and managers hire me for a variety of related services. These range from applying my years of market research experience toward creating unique content for websites, blogs, and social media to personal or company branding. Some hire me to help get real estate transactions done. My experience in creating case studies, feasibility studies, and property profiles (for commercial and residential) combines with being able to assist in producing webinars, simple videos, eBooks and white papers. I "create opportunities" through detailed market research, knowing that more than "running the numbers" needs to be applied when researching a property or investment opportunity. In addition, a tech team providing virtual reality tours, interactive virtual staging, and advance renderings came to me for creating their Sales/Operations Manual along with website and blog content. Real estate developers hire me to create their sales and marketing campaigns for specific properties, often utilizing this technology when customized for their properties and marketing challenges. My market research skills have been utilized to help with identifying properties which meet investor or broker criteria, attracting additional investors or partners, and producing data which helps in the selling or leasing process. In addition, I have created entire marketing programs, such as helping real estate brokers to more closely serve local investors, producing a webinar series, and leading demonstrations at various retail locations. I'm happy to share examples of completed projects! One investor group owned and had turned around two apartment buildings to positive cash flow. They identified another building they wished to acquire and needed funding and hired me. The Proposal I put together included what they did to improve Building #1, then the same for Building #2, and their similar projects for the new property. I added in market research about the neighborhood, also showing the demand for rentals. Next, I showed the background of the owners and the company. The next section was to show their financial stability and loans satisfied to be able to send to banks and lenders. I then did a separate "interchangeable" section showing an investor the project ROI within five years. Doing so enabled the owners to submit separate but pertinent proposals to lenders and to investors, doubling their changes of securing the funds they needed. Another investor group hired me to create marketing campaigns target distressed single-family homeowners in specific communities. The campaign resulted in attracting an increased amount of potential sellers interested in obtaining a cash offer. Earlier in my career, I taught part-time for seven semesters at Columbia College Chicago, served two years on the school's Alumni Board, and participated in various chamber of commerce committees. A personal highlight was being chosen "Business Person of the Year" by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. I'm one that understands the importance of meeting deadlines, double checking my work before it goes out, and adjusting early on to the needs of my clients. More importantly, I don't need to be micro managed. The best way is to lay out the project and the deadline(s) and let me take charge. My involvement in a project can be anything from a single contribution to taking on several different aspects. The best way to determine if we are a fit is to discuss. May I hear from you?
