I’ve been a book nerd for as long as I can remember. My mother was a librarian so I spent countless hours exploring the stacks in search of hidden knowledge. An intrepid researcher, I figured out the card catalog and Dewey decimal system to help me find all the secrets I craved. These days, my research techniques have evolved, but some things haven’t changed. I am always surrounded by piles of books and I lose hours researching my latest obsessions. How does this translate to my work? I know that information, presented in the right way, can captivate. From books to articles, blog posts to newsletters, everything I write is focused on the reader's experience. And that experience begins even before they land on the content I’m creating — because to read it, they need to find it. That means I’ve had to get savvy with everything from SEO best practices to social media marketing to make sure my audience finds what I have to offer. As a full-time freelancer, relationship building has been essential to my success. I rely on individuals and organizations having a good experience working with me, such that they will return to collaborate again and again. That means I make sure to clearly understand the scope and requirements of the project, take budgets and deadlines seriously, and promptly incorporate any feedback and edits into my work. SKILLS SUMMARY •Clear and engaging writing that connects with readers. •Ability to convey feeling and emotion. •Creates reader-focused content, tailored to the desired outcome. •Detail-oriented and able to meet deadlines. •Attention to project requirements and content standards for each client. •Skilled at finding and interviewing sources. •Experienced storyteller, from the page to the stage. •Remote work with local and international clients.

I'm a fast, reliable, and experienced ghostwriter. I enjoy stories that explore how the world works, whether that's through a look at history, science, economics, or another area of life. Don't let my Upwork profile fool you; I've completed dozens of projects, most outside of this platform. I started my ghostwriting career in fiction. My first big project was a 6-book LitRPG series. However, many of my recent projects have been nonfiction books. I've written about: - Self Help - Health & Wellness - Business/Finance - Technology, such as AI and crypto - History - Tips for kids as they are growing older I also can help with: - Screenplays - Children's Fiction - Fantasy Novels - YouTube Scripts I'm used to writing off an outline. I have written and published five of my own books, two for kids 8-12 titled The Time Twins and Middle School Robots, and three for teens, titled Sand and Smoke, Battle and Burning, and Notes and a Nomad. I'm originally from Portland, OR. Reach out to discover how I can help you!
