    A good story can make you laugh or cry. A great story has characters you feel like you know, who inhabit the halls of your imagination, leaving an indelible impression. In my children's novels (see example below) and the work I've done for clients, I draw the reader into a magical world or a compelling mystery. I am a visionary, a storyteller, and a big picture thinker who can help make your dream come to life. I have ghostwritten for published authors in children's, young adult, and adult fiction. Writing is an art form, and I bring a high aesthetic value to the storytelling, character development, and style of a written work. I am a diligent, conscientious, and quick worker. I always make deadlines and provide quality work. I communicate consistently and clearly to ensure you're getting exactly what you want. Fiction categories I have written/ghostwritten in: - Adult drama (clean only) - YA apocalyptic - YA historical - YA drama - YA Christian drama - YA fantasy - Children's fantasy - Children's mystery - Children's superhero - Children's book on manners Nonfiction book categories I have written/ghostwritten in: - CEO - Marketing - Business - Christian - Memoirs - Autobiography - Education Blogging categories I have written in: - Christian Blog - Literature Blog - Book Publishing Blog - Catering Blog - Wedding Blog - SEO blog - blogs about blogging Types of articles I have written: - Intellectual Articles - Christian Articles - SEO Articles - HR Articles - Law Practice Articles My rates: Children's books of 1,000 words or less: $70 flat rate Children's books of 10,000 words or more: $40 per 1,000 words YA/ Adult books of 30,000 words or more: $45/ 1,000 words Blogs: $80 per blog of 1,000 words, $120 per blog of 1,500-2,000 words Articles: $100 per well-researched, grammatically correct, professional article My rates depend on project length, complexity, and the amount of research required.

    Hi there, I'm Anna! A professional writer and copy editor for over 7 years, and video editor for 6 years, I am excited to help with your needs. My portfolio ranges from short-form creative projects like 'Letters from Santa' to SEO-driven articles, profiles, and newsletters. A frequent ghostwriter, I, unfortunately, cannot share all of my favorite pieces, but you can find much of my recent work on Sandiego.com, OHSCanada.com, A-Z Animals, and Choosing Nutrition. In addition to writing, I often edit existing blog pieces and articles to have higher-ranking SEO attributes while ensuring they flow and keep readers engaged. I've worked with short-form videos like Reels and TikToks, as well as travel vlogs, podcast cuts, and even full-length documentaries. You can find examples of my work on my website under 'Contract Work' or on my UpWork portfolio. I look forward to working with you!

    Experience in journalism + special education isn't as divergent as it sounds. It makes for a unique set of skills that are ideal for projects requiring a high level of attention to detail and strong written communication. So what's that mean? *As someone with freelance writing experience, I'm well aware that I may need to mold my voice to fit a project. I can do that. I've written nonfiction articles across the genres, but with a particular emphasis on health, tourism, marketing, local politics, education, and the occasional dog wedding. *As someone with a growing portfolio of copywriting experience, particularly in the niche areas of B2B, tourism, marketing, real estate and health/wellness, I'm ready to not only fit my writing to the tone of your business, but create copy that is easy-to-read, SEO-friendly, and optimized for the web. *As someone with teaching experience, particularly in the field of special education, I have patience for days, and an attention to detail unparalleled by those who have never worked in fields where there's a constant fear of being sued. *As someone with staff writing and editing experience, I thrive on deadlines, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and accuracy. *And, as a lover of words and all things grammar, I take great pride in making a piece of work the best it can be, whether that's my own or a client's. This is all very intriguing, right? By the way, if you're looking for a lighter touch, I'm also the creator of a humor and travel blog of my own. This may not mean much to you, but it has forced me to become well-versed in SEO strategies and the idea of marketing myself as a brand, two areas I'm happy to provide support in as well. If you feel like I'm a good fit for your project, message me!

    Hi, I'm Connor! I'm a speech and copy writer with a knack for humor and creativity, dedicated to helping my clients find the right words to say. Today's audiences have tall expectations, and short attention spans. Whether it's a wedding speech or website copy, every word counts more than ever. My job is to help you navigate this challenge and tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience, keeps them engaged, and leaves them wanting more. To do this, I work directly alongside my clients to understand their wants, needs, and aspirations, as well as those of their audience, to deliver personalized & impactful messages. I pride myself on being a writer who's responsive to client needs, extremely timely & organized, and delivers nothing less than a perfect product, no exceptions. But don't take it from me, check out my client reviews and see for yourself. While I primarily specialize in writing speeches/toasts as well as creative/humorous product copy, I have experience in a variety of other areas including web copy, press releases, greeting cards, blogs & articles, video scripts, and marketing materials. Outside of Upwork I'm a customer experience & innovation consultant helping Fortune500 companies connect to their customers and find new ways to deliver value. This means you get both a writer & consultant with knowledge in UX/UI, audience behaviors, and strategy.

    Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a professional writer with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Boston University. Having poured my mind and heart into hundreds of highly praised essays, research articles, and projects throughout college, I gradually developed into the prolific writer I am today. A few of my poems and essays have been featured in my university’s CORE Curriculum journal. I was hired by many fellow students as well as principal investigators to proofread and edit their work. This includes grant proposals, cover letters, and resumes. After college, I started Upwork with the hope of funding my optometry school education via my talent in writing. Though I am only one month in (as of 11/18), my work has already been approved by several blog owners and marketers who continue to hire me for further projects. My success as a writer comes from the immense care that I put into researching, writing, and polishing material that will connect with a vast audience. Whether you are looking for a fresh pair of eyes for your article, resume, or cover letter, a brilliant content writer for your website or blog, or an entrepreneurial mind who will help you advertise and grow your business, you will be glad you hired me.

    ◼️ BACKGROUND I am an expert in my area of focus with 5+ years of entrepreneurial and diverse business and startup experience. I hold an undergraduate degree from Purdue University and will be pursuing an MBA in the near future. I currently reside in downtown Chicago by way of Sao Paulo, Brazil. My 5+ year career has taken me around the world and into several sectors - building branding and marketing strategies for large corporate clients, impactful non-profits of all sizes, and rapid growth start-ups. What always remains consistent is my approach: listening deeply to you, the client, and understanding your problem that needs solving. Maybe you have a great product or idea but aren't sure how to bring it to market. Or you're sat on a goldmine of customer data but don't know how to unlock its growth potential. Perhaps you feel that your current branding isn't truly reflecting your vision and speaking to your audience. Or you have marketing ideas but need manpower, processes, or training to implement them. However big or small the challenge, I love digging into complex problems with clients and creating bespoke, thoughtful solutions that meet their goals. Let’s talk! ◼️ TESTIMONIALS "Working with Cray on two market research projects has been a breeze. Cray is insightful, detailed and always responded to questions and follow ups so quickly. They completed both projects ahead of schedule and always stayed in great communication. Hope I get to work with them again in the near future!" "Cray was very engaged, really appreciate them giving us their expertise during the marketing consultation. They met and exceeded our expectations! Definitely recommend if you need consultation on a new product!" "Cray and his team kept a great line of communication and completed the job in a timely manner. They were able to answer all of our market research questions and gave us even more insight and ideas to help with starting a new business venture. We definitely recommend them and will be using their expertise in the future!" ◼️ EXPERTISE Surveys: Design and implement insightful surveys that will generate actionable data for future and current products Pitch Decks: Prepare a compelling business narrative (in Google Slides, PPT or Keynote) with content and modern design that's investor ready Executive Summary (1-pager): Prepare a concise summary of the the business opportunity Sales Presentations: Prepare a complete deck to win new clients or partnerships Business Plans: Prepare a comprehensive plan (in Google Docs.) that covers your entire operation from A to Z Branding: Develop brand guidelines (with logo design, color palette and typeface) and visual identity across all assets Financial Projections: Prepare an editable financial model with 5-year projections, cash flow, balance sheet, breakeven/sensitivity and other required KPIs ◼️ INDUSTRIES SERVED Technology, Education, Fintech, Fashion, Health and Wellness, SaaS, Consumer Goods, Life Sciences, Adtech, Media & Entertainment, E-commerce, Hospitality and Tourism, Financial Services, and several others. ◼️ BENEFITS Work with an expert Receive investor ready material Save you time and distraction Proven process with a track record
