I will write 15K words per week, and produce original, error-free, humorous, and never-been-shared-before contemporary romance novels at $0.015 per word. Once we agree on the novel idea and tropes, I will create the characters, the plot, the chapter breakdown, and the blurb. Every week, I will write at least 15 000 words and submit the milestones on time. Only you will own the copyrights to the work and I will sign an NDA to that effect. I can write a box set or a standalone novel of 50 to 90K words or more as you wish. This year alone, I have written 6 books of 60K words each for clients and for my own Kindle account. I am always available online throughout the process. I have a degree in Journalism from the United States International University - Africa. If you hire me today, you will have your book within 6 weeks.

Congratulations!! You just finished writing your book! You've probably edited it on your own, and you're now debating if you should hire an editor or not. If you're reading this, then this is your sign. GET AN EDITOR! As your editor, my goal is to improve your book so that we create a best seller. See that character who, somewhere along the book, her name changed from Sella to Ella? We need to make that consistent. Remember that history figure who died in 1924 but you've written 1960? We need to get our facts right. Did I mention the poor sentence structure and repetition in chapter 7? Let's work on that too. Do you now see why we need to work together? Don't over think it, reach out and let's collaborate. Don't delay your book launch any longer! MY EDITING SERVICES INCLUDE: ✅ Developmental editing. I will help you put your manuscript into the perspective needed, give it direction and make a book out of it. ✅ Copy editing. I will help you with the formatting, checking factual errors, grammar, line editing, consistency and general flow, fonts and styles used for headings, subheadings and also general texts. I will also help with sentence structures and getting rid of many, repeated and unnecessary words. ✅ Proofreading. Whether you want your manuscript in American or British English, consider your request done. I will help you check every tiny detail, punctuations and tenses and leave you with a clean manuscript, ready for publishing. ✅ Ghostwriting. I will author your novel, children's storybook, spiritual book, motivational and even a self-help book. MY SWAHILI TUTORING IS GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU ARE: ➤Planning a SAFARI to Kenya/East Africa and would love to learn basic Swahili words like greetings, animal names and even say ASANTE! ➤Moving to East Africa for work, study or permanent settlement and want to converse in Swahili and blend in. ➤A student struggling with low scores in Swahili as a school subject. ➤A linguist looking to add Swahili to your bucket of known languages. THE BEST PART? I use MS Word to track all the changes and leave a comment on every edit to help you follow and understand why every edit was done (in the manuscript). MY SOFT SKILLS ✅ Attention to detail ✅ Communication ✅ Time management ✅ Flexibility ✅ Creative ✅ Open-minded ✅ Cooperative 🔹I have edited Environmental books, Social Sciences, and Religious Studies books currently used in Kenyan schools and schools in Malawi, South Sudan, and Zambia. 🔹I also have professional experience editing, translating and authoring Kiswahili/Swahili manuscripts.

If you’re constantly juggling admin tasks, struggling to keep up with social media, or just tired of doing everything alone, I’m here to help. My name is Vallery, and I’m a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant, Social Media Manager, and Graphic Designer. With over 3 years of freelancing experience, I’ve worked with clients from different industries to help them stay organized, visible, and in control of their daily operations. Over time, I’ve developed the ability to handle tasks efficiently, work independently, and adapt quickly to new systems and tools. I focus on delivering results that matter, not just checking boxes. If you're hiring, chances are you want someone reliable, responsive, and able to deliver without needing constant direction. That’s the level of support I offer. Here’s a look at the kind of work I’ve done for clients: • Managed emails and calendars for business owners • Created and scheduled social media content on platforms like Instagram and Facebook • Handled admin tasks like appointment setting, file organization, and transcription • Designed clean and modern visuals for branding and marketing • Used tools like Meta Business Suite and SocialMonials for post scheduling • Organized project files and supported teams using Trello, Asana, and Google Drive • Performed data entry and created structured spreadsheets • Provided email-based customer support and follow-ups • Converted files between PDF and Word for easy editing I’m comfortable using Microsoft Office 365, Google Suite, Canva, Slack, Trello, Zoom, Asana, QuickBooks, and other productivity platforms. My goal is simple. I want to take work off your plate so you can focus on the big-picture goals while knowing the small details are handled. If you're ready to work with someone dependable, creative, and committed to delivering quality results, let’s connect. I’d love to hear about your goals and find out how I can help. —Vallery
