    With a professional background spanning two decades in corporate America, two separate startup design agencies, and multiple freelance roles, I have diverse experience in strategy, writing, and proofreading. Some specific project highlights include: * generated, edited, and proofread copy for pitch decks and design presentations. * created technical instructions, merchandising guidebooks, and project summaries. * edited and proofread communications for my peers and supervisors. * crafted professional branding documents for hundreds of individual clients. * written and edited emails to negotiate with partners, vendors, and clients. * managed ad-hoc creative projects for director-level clients at Google. I simplify complex ideas and anticipate questions as I develop any writing project. I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous, and because of my broad interests and love for learning, I am always eager to learn new subject matter and take on a new challenge. The common theme interwoven through my professional interests is my passion for organized, accurate, and clear communication. I have an MBA, a BA in Psychology, and a copyediting certificate. I hold the Certified Professional Résumé Writer (CPRW) designation from PARWCC, and I graduated in the top 11% of Proofread Anywhere's General Proofreading program. I'm currently engaged with the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy training program. I also have training in the healing arts, and have completed master-level coursework in Professional Life Coaching. I bring this entire skillset to every project I work on, with the goal of making my client's (and their clients') lives easier. I look forward to connecting to learn more about what you need!

    Thank you for visiting my profile! A bit about me - I have a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and recently retired from a career in science education. I have a lifelong passion for the written and spoken word. As an educator and researcher, I have extensive experience creating and voicing presentations tailored for specific audiences. As a freelancer, I can pull from my existing skill set while enjoying a broader range of opportunities for creative expression and exploration. Editing and Proofreading: I spent two decades in a field where clear, concise written communication is vital. I have written, edited and/or reviewed grants, articles, manuscripts, book chapters, manuals, newsletters and (of course) student lessons. Narration: I have a clear, pleasant, mid-American voice (female) and am vocally expressive. I communicate well and pay attention to details! For narration, my preferred genre(s) include children’s books, non-fiction (e.g. self-help) and science fiction/fantasy... but I am open to other projects if they fit my skill sets and interests. If you aren't sure if I would be interested in a project, feel free to ask!!

    Actively looking to fill one opening on my roster (long-term preferred but not required) I have 15 years of experience in ghostwriting and editing in a variety of fiction genres (sci-fi, western, gen and lit fic) as well as nonfiction work, with an emphasis on history and theology. The majority of my fiction work has been in Westerns and detective stories, but if you've got a good idea, I'm always on board. I studied American Lit and Professional Editing at the graduate level, so I'm always ready to take on a client as a coach, or proofer, or even just a sounding board. Rates are always negotiable per project and, depending on the week, rush work is available occasionally. Nearly all of my ghostwriting work has become a top 10-genre novel and I'd love to help you accomplish the same. Even if you're just in the thinking stage, please don't hesitate to reach out and say hello. I'm one of those people who just love stories and would enjoy hearing about yours. Contact for samples, discussion, and more information. Chats and project discussions are always free. *Please bear in mind that the hourly rate is rarely how I work, so it's basically a place-holder and we can discuss*

    There's nothing more irritating than trying to figure out where to put those pesky commas or finding the ideal word to describe that perfect moment that keeps slipping out of your head when you need it most. I have three and a half years of professional editing experience and am a member of a writing group that frequently discusses plot and character development in members' stories. I have self-published a poetry anthology and a short story anthology, and I have three more manuscripts currently in various stages of the writing and editing phases. With all that under my belt, as well as numerous years of helping friends and family write their stories, I can help you bring your manuscript to life! I love assisting fellow authors in finding those bright, vibrant words that help make their stories colorful and exciting, building characters and describing scenes to bring their stories to life on the page. I'm very adept at finding misplaced or missing commas, quotation marks, and periods. In fact, most of the editing I do involves finding and correcting technicals errors within manuscripts. Additionally, I get excited to give authors feedback and advice on the fantastic worlds they've created. Editing and proofreading is my passion! If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out to me. I can't wait to hear from you!

    I am a recent graduate of Montclair State University with a bachelor’s degree in English and a certificate in Professional Selling and Sales Management, giving me a valuable range of academic experience. Growing up in Southern Indiana and then moving to New Jersey for college has taught me the joy of living with and relating to a diverse range of people. During my time at Sagging Meniscus Press as an editorial intern, I worked on 9 different novels, each with a very unique style and author’s voice, gaining experience in copyediting and proofreading. I have also developed the ability to tailor a piece of writing to a specific audience. For example, my work with the English Department’s newsletter had me developing content specifically for English alumni. In each position I have held, I have had to carefully consider elements of writing as broadly as topic and format, but also as subtly as word choice and sentence structure, and how they affect the tone, understanding, and reception of the work. I also possess the ability to manage many projects at once while staying on schedule and maintaining attention to detail. Throughout my years in higher education, I was able to maintain a 3.9 GPA in my classwork while juggling many other responsibilities, providing quality work while still hitting tight deadlines. Reading has meant something different to me at each stage of my life, whether it be a safe haven from the chaos of life, a gateway to learning and growth, or just pure enjoyment. I am passionate about helping others explore what reading means to them as well. Books are crucial for both the author and reader. Sharing stories grows empathy, the ability to think critically about the world around you, and how you relate with yourself as well. It fosters connection. There is something beautiful about being able to share a deep understanding with someone you may never meet through words. People find themselves in the books they read. That is why it is so important to create content that not only offers quality entertainment but also gives people diverse perspectives and characters. Reading is a human right. Being able to read media, whether it be a book, the news, or even paperwork, helps you protect yourself but also develop your own ideas. That is why I think it is so important to help low-income communities gain access to books and literacy resources as well as creating wider access to banned books. No matter the project, I am passionate about developing quality content rooted in idea that reading is a gift for everyone.

    Line editing makes a novel shine, but story structure makes a novel work. Although I'm equipped to proofread, beta-read, and ghostwrite, my strength is developmental editing. I take in the whole story and seek ways to tighten loose plots, flesh out characters, strengthen relationships, and eliminate unnecessary sections. I aim to create compelling, likable characters and structure intricate plots with twists the reader will never see coming. My goal is to give authors constructive criticism with an encouraging and insightful voice. The genres I mainly work with are: - Fantasy - Epic Fantasy - YA Fantasy - Urban Fantasy - YA - Science Fiction - Mystery - Thriller *Although these genres are mostly what I work with, I am spreading my net wider and am open to others. When developmental editing, my focus is: - Creating believable characters (Goals, motivations, and conflicts) - Weaving multiple plots together - Sharpening the main plot - Highlighting and reinforcing themes - Eliminating any detractions from the main story I taught at a small college in Northwest Indiana (Hyles-Anderson College) for 6 years. I've worked with Critiquematch.com for three years, where I completed 44 different projects, mostly in Sci-fi and Fantasy, with an average rating of 5 stars. The top comments on my ratings described my work as: - Thorough - Insightful - Helpful in tightening up sentences for faster pacing - An eye for catching pet phrases - High-value constructive criticism - Encouraging

    Hi there! I'm Kassian, a queer Asian American creative with a passion for diverse storytelling through writing and illustration/graphic design. It never gets old when it happens: coming across a creative work, sitting with it, and seeing yourself in the pages or the screen. The world stills. Your chest warms. You think, "This character, their experiences, are just like mine." The spotlight turns from the character to you, and there is that moment, that spark: feeling seen, regardless of how big or small the representation. That is the moment I aim to capture with my work. But the work doesn't create itself. As a writer and artist, I manage my own time and projects to ensure I complete my work by the deadline--for myself and my clients. I'm passionate about learning new skills to improve my craft and expand my horizons. Staying open to new experiences has led us to today--after picking up coding on a whim, I've joined multiple indie projects to help develop visual novels as an illustrator, writer, programmer, and narrative designer. And I adore it! I would love to continue working in the creative field: whether as a narrative designer, writer, artist, and more. Please feel free to contact me!

    If there's one thing that you should know about me, it's that I love reading. Like...really love it. I have always been drawn to stories that hit you emotionally, stay in your head, and make you want to throw the book (but in the best way). This passion has led me to beta reading, where I enjoy diving into other authors' worlds and help make them clearer and stronger for their audiences. I specialize in New Adult fiction-specifically fantasy, romance, dark romance, and psychological thrillers. I focus on emotional depth, character arcs, and spotting plot holes that could break immersion. With a background in education and child/family support, I've developed a sharp eye for emotional nuance and character motivation. Skills that I now bring to fiction. I'm also walking through my own writing journey, so I am truly passionate about the work and respect the time and effort dedicated to the craft. If you're looking for an honest, story-first feedback that will sharpen your voice without overpowering it, I am here to read with purpose. Let's build something beautiful together.

    Are you looking for positive and constructive feedback from a beta reader? Line editing to enhance and refine your voice? Proofreading to catch those last, elusive typos, missing quotation marks, and spelling errors? I love helping writers polish their prose and making sure their unique writing voice shines through. I have a passion for adult and YA fantasy, science fiction, thriller/horror, and romance of any kind. I have experience as an author in both Indie and traditional publishing and am happy to guide others through the process of writing and publishing. In my editing, I give feedback from a reader’s perspective as well as editorial suggestions. Currently, I provide the following services: • Line Editing • Copy editing • Proofreading • Beta Reading • Ghost Writing (if you have a solid outline) While new to freelancing, I have 10 years of experience as a professional editor and proofreader, with a diverse background in fiction as well as non-fiction. I hold a BA in Studio Art, a minor in English, with additional study in the fields of photography, theater, and art education. I’m a lifetime learner, adding to my knowledge every year. To keep my skills sharp, I am currently working toward a certification in writing and editing from the University of Michigan. ABOUT ME: I’m a bit book crazy; you’ll find overflowing bookcases in all the rooms of my house except the bathroom. I’ve worked a wide variety of jobs: retail manager, display manager, library circulation and technical services clerk, rhythm guitar player, graphic designer, and assistant tai-chi instructor to name a few. Gardening is one of my hobbies, another is jewelry making. I have one cat named Pippin, who often gets into more mischief than the hobbit from Lord of the Rings.
