US citizen and internationally-published author with Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. My most recent book, MADAM, has been made into a multi award-winning streaming series by the same name, starring Rachel Griffiths and Martin Henderson. My services are targeted at serious authors who are working toward a traditional publishing deal or an indie career with a wide readership. If we decide to work together, you can be certain I will take your writing to the next professional level. Over a series of Zoom interviews, I will draw out your story to produce your book-length manuscript to a high-end, professional level. You'll have editorial control throughout, making changes and additions so we retain your authentic voice. And I'll make sure the writing is compulsively readable, so your book attracts the widest possible audience. Friendly, professional, and easy to work with, I specialize in non-fiction and memoir. I do not work with religious texts, poetry, or children's books.

I can help you make your book or article the best it can be! I am an experienced editor who works with writers to help them improve their work, from early drafts to preparing a manuscript for submission to a publisher. I am a kind, empathic and passionate person and get a kick out of seeing my clients' books go into the world. I am a published author (two poetry collections and a non-fiction memoir) and also teach creative writing at a New Zealand university. I do everything from manuscript assessment to proofreading and line editing. I've edited non-fiction books, novels, poetry collections, magazine articles, PhDs and corporate copy. I can work with what your project requires, but this is my usual process: – We agree on a time period for the job and an hourly rate. – You send me the manuscript as a Word file. I do the editing! – I send back your manuscript with tracked changes throughout the text for you to approve, and any comments or questions I might have. – We have a one hour zoom call where you can talk through the edit and ask questions. – You can send follow up questions about the feedback when you're revising. Because all projects are different, I am happy to edit a short sample of your work so you to see what the editing looks like. You can find out more about me at: sarahjanebarnett.net Let's make some beautiful and inspiring books together! TESTIMONIALS “I was thrilled when I was told that Sarah would be the editor of my second book. I have a deep respect for her as a writer and a champion of poetry so I knew I would be in safe hands. Sarah’s editorial approach and suggestions were very thoughtful and provided a much-needed fresh point of view. I found her questions and comments extremely useful, tackling everything from the small details to the bigger picture.” – Chris Tse, New Zealand Poet Laureate “I chose Sarah to edit my second collection because I admire her skill and style as a writer, and she has an excellent reputation as an editor. The feedback she gave helped my manuscript snap into a clearer shape with few actual changes. I felt Sarah met the work where it was at, rather than imposing form or style ideas, helping me make it the best version of itself, rather than watered down or homogenised version. Sarah’s editing input and communication during the process, was professional, kind, and generous – I felt seen both as a writer and a person. It was a privilege to work with her and I hope I get to again soon.” – Simone Kaho, author of Heal “Sarah’s assistance in reviewing and improving my current work-in-progress has been invaluable. I immediately felt she connected with my writing and understood my intentions. She asked insightful questions and offered suggestions on ways to get around issues within the text. I’m so pleased to have found Sarah’s expertise and support, and I will definitely seek her out again for future projects.” – Louise Wallace, author of Ash

I've always loved language, and have had a passion for literature, and creative writing since I can remember. Currently, I am studying towards my diploma in marketing. My intent on Upwork is to write books for people who want them. If you are offering $300 or any less for a 50,000 (or more) word book, you're not paying your writers well enough. My experience stems from three years of dedicated study in my field at university level, my creative writing diploma, and my own freelance endeavours. If you're looking for someone who has a keen eye for detail, and a passion for grammar, and everything to do with language, then get in touch with me. I'm always open for new projects, and I love to explore new avenues with a creative flair.

I'm a mental health professional and a dedicated writer. My journey has been a dynamic one, starting with supporting foster parents and children, facilitating therapy groups, and coordinating supervised contacts for children and parents. My work spans community projects like 'Stop Child Abuse' awareness initiatives, closely collaborating with law enforcement and the court system. I'm proud to have served clients predominantly from domestic violence backgrounds, conducting in-depth assessments, risk evaluations, and personalized planning. My role as a crisis worker at a women's center and a behavioral therapist, specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorders, adolescents, and interventions, has enriched my understanding of client rehabilitation and behavior modification. In addition to my professional roles, I've taken on leadership positions, managing teams of supervisors and providing training sessions. Throughout this diverse journey, I've nurtured my passion for writing, which began in my childhood. Now, I'm weaving my experiences into words, aiming to raise awareness, inspire change, and make a lasting impact through my writing. During my graduate and postgraduate studies, I have written numerous research papers utilizing a wide range of research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative, Indigenous, and mixed-method approaches. This has honed my research and analytical skills,

"Don’t forget— no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories you have to tell." Charles de Lint. I am a writer because writing is a spaceship to my deepest dreams and the spark to write is in my blood. It is part of my being that I need to keep alight with fuel through the craft or my soul might become dark and cold. The art of writing allows us all to make sense of this crazy yet chaotically beautiful world. Words, indeed, have the power to change the world, teach others, and make it better for all. First and foremost, I am a holder of gnawed pencils and ink-dabbed paper, but I am also an archaeologist. I studied a master's in archaeology where I gained extensive experience writing research papers, publishing in journals, and producing several 50,000-word research theses over the course of my studies. During this time, I threw myself with a trowel in hand into dungeons in search of archaeological treasures to uncover the mysteries of the past. Now I'm a writer and I craft stories about many things, but often about my Dungeons and Dragons adventures. My other hobbies consist of D and D, working on an epic fantasy series, reading books, and playing games. For extra context, I adore Brandon Sanderson, Tolkien, Susan Cooper, and many more authors I couldn't name just here. In addition, a favorite genre of mine is fantasy, followed by romance, but above all, I love a good story. With the power of writing at our fingertips, I cannot wait to help bring your piece of writing to life! Below I have listed some of the niches I can/have written on: - History - Writing - Archaeology and Culture - Autobiographies/Biographies - Self-Help Books - Self-Publishing/Traditional Publishing - University Education - Thesis Writing - Research - Conspiracy theories - Fantasy (all Types Including High Fantasy and Urban Fantasy). - LGBTQA+ content - Romance - Young-Adult - Coming of Age - Paranormal/Supernatural - Historical - Horror/Thriller - Science-Fiction - Mystery - Dystopian/Apocalyptical - Steampunk
