I am a professional screenwriter, editor, and script doctor who has written for CBS, Paramount+, Amazon, and Paramount Pictures. I've crafted features for 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Happy Madison, and Bad Robot. A pilot of mine was produced by NBC, as well as a children's episodic for Cartoon Network and an animated pilot for Adult Swim. I've also done short-form comedy material for entities like The Onion, HBO, and National Lampoon. I've written faith-based material for PureFlix, Super Bowl commercials, and am the Head Writer for Monarch Wine - a digital magazine devoted to vino and music. Previous to my own professional career, I worked as an Oscar-nominated screenwriter's assistant for eight years, trusted with the editing, proofreading, and content development for a number of major studio projects. I work swiftly without sacrificing quality and am adept in a number of genres. I'm a mentor with the International Screenwriters' Association and have a BFA from Emerson College. I furthered my studies with the Act One program in Los Angeles. I'm a write-at-home dad and a night owl, with a prolific output that I'd love to put towards projects like yours.

Kameron W.

Ghostwriter | Editor | #1 Bestselling Author

Sacramento, California

$100K+ total earnings

I am a bestselling and award-winning author, editor, ghostwriter, and storyteller with multiple published books and years of experience helping clients bring powerful stories to life. My own novels have reached the top of Amazon bestseller lists, earned literary awards, and received praise from respected review organizations including Readers' Favorite, The Midwest Book Review, and Online Book Club. Beyond my own work, through ghostwriting and editing, I have helped authors develop, refine, and publish books across a wide range of genres and subjects. When ghostwriting, I work closely with clients to transform ideas, outlines, and rough concepts into compelling manuscripts that feel authentic to their voice and vision. Whether you're starting with a detailed plan or a single spark of inspiration, I can help shape it into a finished book. As far as editing, I offer both developmental editing and line editing services. Developmental editing focuses on the larger elements of storytelling and structure such as plot, pacing, character development, organization, theme, and reader engagement, while line editing refines the prose itself for clarity, flow, style, and impact. I have edited numerous books that have gone on to successful publication, helping authors strengthen both the foundation and execution of their work. My storytelling experience extends beyond books. I have worked on fiction and nonfiction projects, video game narratives, and stories across multiple creative mediums. Regardless of format, my focus remains the same: creating engaging experiences that connect with audiences and leave a lasting impression. Writing a book is a major undertaking. It requires time, patience, creativity, and careful planning. Many people have a story they want to tell but lack the time, experience, or confidence to bring it to the page. That's where I come in. Whether you need a ghostwriter, developmental editor, line editor, story consultant, or creative partner, I can help you turn your ideas into a polished and professional finished product.
