There is no vision so vast, intimate, or out there that it cannot be communicated perfectly with the right words. I write for corporations that want their kids to like them and independent creators who want their parents to respect them. With an artistic background, an eye for structure, and a compulsion for wit and lyricism, I've tended to succeed where corporate meets consumer and where independents strive for high levels of creativity and professionalism. I employ color, elegance, intelligence, humor, wordplay, a few winks, and much hard work to ensure my clients are happy. My unique angle stems from my dual areas of expertise: on the one hand, I am a well-disciplined agency writer, comfortable delivering complex work on time and within budget; on the other, I am a musician, freelancer, and contrarian who can transition seamlessly into poetry, wit, irreverence, and pithy commentary. Clients most often bring me in to: —Ghostwrite memoirs and personal transformation stories that feel rich, human, and voice-driven (including for Olympic athletes, founders, and creatives). —Write brand scripts, keynote speeches, and web copy that blend sharp messaging with emotional punch. —Craft children’s books—sometimes rhyming, often offbeat, always memorable—with emotional clarity and playfulness. Every project is different—but if the story matters, I’m in. Upwork clients have said of their experience working with me (taken from my testimonials) … —“I must say, he is nothing short of remarkable. Steve is not only incredibly talented but also an amazing human being.” —“I have yet to ask him for help on a project that he hasn’t vastly improved the idea. He is a testament to the writing profession.” —“Steve is a gift of a human. I'm glad to have met and worked with him. He truly has exceptional talent.” —“Steve did a fantastic job on a challenging assignment.” —“Usually, when I work with freelancers, the work takes weeks to months. He had it done in days and turnover in less than 24 hours. Possibly one of the best freelancers I've worked with.” —“Steve knocked our project out of the ballpark!” —“Steve is a brilliant, creative writer with a totally professional attitude. Working with him was sheer joy.” And it would be my job to ensure you are equally happy. Contacting me won’t cost you a thing. I would love to hear from you. Reliable — creative ghostwriter — creative writing — video scripts — speech writing — branding — children's literature — rhyming books — memoirs — novels — non-fiction — coaching — structure — humor.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Rebecca is very pleasant to work with! The most skilled and talented children’s book writer I've hired on Upwork. Her experience as a children’s book writer and editor is outstanding. I’ll hire her again and again.” Every child longs to go on an adventure, and taking children to a world full of adventure on the wings of creatively written words is the best feeling ever. I have always been fascinated with words and seeing children’s faces come alive when I tell them my stories pushed and encouraged me to put them down on paper. I have written children's fiction and non-fiction books. I write children's stories, inspirational stories about sport and science heroes, dinosaur books, stories about helicopters, crazy facts for kids, poems, songs, fairy tales, pirate stories, and grammar books. My love for children led me to take up a teaching job where I love making young ones smile and laugh joyfully at my stories. After listening to awesome stories, their happiness has been my major drive because children are the leaders of tomorrow. I have worked with numerous organizations and schools that want to impact awesome adventure experiences in children by helping them craft a masterpiece. Below are the services I have to offer; ✔️ Writing children stories, fiction and non-fiction (sport heroes, facts books for children etc) ✔️ Writing and editing stories for children for all age groups. ✔️ Writing STEM books for children ✔️ Writing English grammar books ✔️ Professional editing of stories, comic and cartoon texts Aside from making children's faces light up with my awesome writeups, I also find pleasure in delivering a high-end masterpiece to my clients with 100% satisfaction. If you work with me, you’re guaranteed to get; ✅ Regular communications ✅ Timely deliveries ✅ Children's friendly words ✅ Creative ideas and flair As a children's story writer and editor, I have read books from great authors to learn new words and better understand children's habits in reading and learning. Below are some of my favorite authors; ✔️ C.S Lewis ✔️ Roald Dahl ✔️ J.K Rowling ✔️ Chris Colfer ✔️ Jen Calonita Here is another review from one of my happy and satisfied clients; ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is the second or third time that we hired Rebecca. She is an excellent writer with high quality and punctual work. We’ll hire her again if we have similar projects in the future. Thank you, Rebecca." I know you also want to be as happy and satisfied as my clients 😀😀😀. I am available to work with you to deliver a masterpiece. If you love to see some of my writeups, you can inbox me, and we’ll take it up from there. I’ll be looking forward to your invite or chat.
