I am a published author using the pen names Ariel Paiement and Atlas A. Rose. Please note! The second pen name is not to be confused with Atlas Rose, a different author who writes erotica/steamy romances. I write philosophical/historical fiction under Atlas A. Rose, and the middle initial is crucial if you're trying to view examples of that work on Amazon or Goodreads. The examples of these works are available on the profile to make it easier to avoid the need to search all over for me on Amazon, but I like to point this out up front so those seeking to hire a ghostwriter are not confused about what I do and don't write. Aside from my own works, I have over six years of experience in critiquing and editing for other authors. I specialize in fantasy and creative nonfiction (blogging, biography, essays, etc.), but I can critique and edit many other genres as well. I have a MFA in Composition and English, and I possess a strong foundation in English grammar and punctuation. I am a native speaker. My particular areas of expertise are characterization, sentence and story flow, and grammar. My aim on every ghostwriting project is to provide you with a strong story that needs minimal to no edits beyond basic proofreading and formatting for publication. As my reviews will show, my clients love working with me precisely because I deliver work on time, communicate punctually if there are delays, and provide quality writing. My rates are as follows for ghostwriting: Plotting: .02/word Writing (on my own outline): .015/word Writing (outline provided): .02/word Editing beyond an hour per book: 30/hour I can negotiated on rates down to .015/word, but I cannot work for less, so please don't send interview invites if the highest you'll offer is less than that. Plotting includes unlimited revisions to get the story where you want it before we write off it. I will do edits up to an hour for free as part of my writing fee. Anything beyond that will be charged at the rate of 30/hour, a discount from my usual editing fee since I'm working on my own work and want you to be satisfied. However, I cannot do edits beyond that first hour without a fee since my writing rates don't cover more than the writing and that one hour. My aim on every editing project is to provide you with editing that is coordinated, efficient, and tailored to your manuscript. I love English and helping other writers, and my promise to all of my clients is to provide them with quality feedback that is honest but helpful. An edit from me means that your manuscript will receive every level of editing necessary to polish it into a reader-ready piece. My prices are reflective of what I would charge you for a deep edit, but I assess each job individually. If the work you have asked for is easier than a deep edit, which includes all levels of editing, I will either send a proposal with a lower bid if I'm applying or suggest a lower price in the interview process. As such, the hourly price I have listed is the highest I would charge for any project on an hourly basis. That price covers anywhere from 2-3k on difficult edits to 6-8k on easier edits. I usually bid with a price by the word because very few authors have ever wanted to do hourly, but if you prefer hourly, let me know and we can talk! Prices by word are below, and are based on the average cost for the services as given by the Editorial Freelancers Association (at the-efa.org). Copy editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/ .03 (nonfiction) Developmental editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/.04 (nonfiction) Line editing price per word: .04 Proofreading price per word: .02 For mixed editing types, I offer a by-the-word price based on estimated job difficulty and the types of editing it needs. Without a sample on the job posting, it is difficult to assess these two factors, so I typically default to .03 to .04 cents a word in these cases unless the post description offers me reason to bid lower. Upon completing the sample edit, I may offer the work at a lower price if it falls mostly under one type of editing or is easier to work with than average. I offer sample edits for 1000 words at a flat fee of 20 USD to every editing client as the first milestone so there is no obligation to continue with larger milestones if it turns out we are not a good match for one another. It also allows me to assess the work to give you a more accurate idea of how much I would charge based on actual editing workload per hour. I do not drop below .01/word due to the amount of time and effort comprehensive editing takes. If you are looking to hire for less than the rates above, please look to other freelancers.

Quick turnaround and great pricing. Copy & Line Editing - $0.0085/word = $8.50/1k words Developmental - $0.01/word = $10.00/1k words Proofreading - $0.0045 = $4.50/1k words **There is a 10% surcharge added to my pricing to cover the Upwork fees charged to the freelancer. **Minimum order will apply for smaller projects. Contact me for details. **I do NOT edit in Google Docs or any sort of online software platform. I will only edit in Microsoft Word. Google online platforms do not offer the same functions as Word, it is very cumbersome, frequently locks up, and overall, is just not user-friendly for editing purposes.

Proofreading is practically a hobby for me. Typos jump out at me as I read, and I catch myself re-writing sentences in my head. That sounds completely nerdy, but my weird tendencies can work to your advantage! Since I actually enjoy corralling those pesky commas, let me be an extra pair of eyes on your work. I’d love to help you produce quality, error-free content so your intended audience can read without distractions. I’d be happy to engage in back and forth conversation about your piece or to just go ahead and make the corrections, if you prefer. I can edit for organization and clarity, and for grammar and typos. I have an encouraging style of communicating and want to create a comfortable environment where your piece will flourish. Also, I was a first grade teacher until my children came along. While I’m not currently in the classroom, that knowledge and experience can benefit you. Let me collaborate with you on your curriculum from the varied perspectives of teacher, writer, and editor. I’ve written and published over 50 leveled books for beginning readers through educational publishing houses. I've edited and proofread several novels that have since been published (both traditional and indie publishing). I've also been the beta reader for lots of writers. I’ve worked for a non-profit as an editor for their blog and other publications. I’ve proofread countless college and graduate-level papers. Testimonial: “Working with Laurie was a real pleasure. She’s thorough and efficient, she caught all my spelling and grammatical mistakes, and her critiques are always well thought out. I had a very short deadline, but she worked quickly and helped me to the last minute. I would hire her to proofread and edit for me again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.”

My goal as a copyeditor is to make my clients look great to their readers. I’m a voracious reader and love words. You know those people who want to learn about everything? That’s me! I’ve had careers ranging from graphic design to crime lab analysis to wildlife rehabilitation to medical transcription. My hobbies include riding horses, watercolor painting, and watching NFL football, and I’ve even tried basket weaving and beekeeping. I bring this varied background to my copyediting career. Do you have a short story or novel that needs a professional eye? Short and sweet or long and detailed, new or experienced writer, I can help you make sure your message is clearly understood by your readers. I also offer proofreading and beta reading services. Just reach out!

Through years of teaching and studying language, I have developed an exceptional skill for analyzing complicated information, determining the fundamental meaning of any message, and packaging it to be delivered in a simplified, targeted, aesthetically-pleasing way. My career in education led me to become a skilled communications executive, now with over 10 years of experience in program management, marketing campaigns, strategic planning, and graphic design. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing multi-media outreach campaigns, and getting to know my clients. My background in education and customer service is a testament to my innate desire to serve others. I especially enjoy working with non-profits, community, human rights, and educational organizations, and "blue-collar" industries. I live in Columbia, SC with my partner, Paolo, and our rescue pup, Momo. We enjoy hiking in state parks, traveling, testing new recipes, and supporting the local art & music scene.

I find the plot holes, structural issues, sentence-level errors, and punctuation mishaps that distract readers, agents, and acquiring editors from understanding and appreciating your protagonist's journey. YOU SHOULD HIRE ME IF YOU... 🤝 ... just finished your first manuscript and don't know where to go from here. 🤝 ... received a plot outline from a ghostwriter and want to know if it's any good. 🤝 ... aren't sure what genre(s) and subgenre(s) best fit your work. 🤝 ... have a genre-bending project that needs a second pair of eyes. 🤝 ... read a review that made you reconsider writing as a hobby or career. 🤝 ... haven't written in a long time and want an unbiased critique of your work. 🤝 ... need help with macro-level tasks, such as plotting a series, developing strong characters, writing convincing dialogue, etc. 🤝 ... want to develop a style sheet to ensure consistency across multiple writers, editors, and books. 🤝 ... speak English as a second language and want a copy editor to double-check your work. 🤝 ... composed your query letter and need a final review of your manuscript to make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted. 🤝 ... don't know the difference between proofreading and beta reading, but are certain your book needs a doctor TODAY. Editing is a collaborative process, and I look forward to working with you to bring out the best in your fiction. WE WON'T BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU... ❌ ... have a screenplay, poetry chapbook, or work of nonfiction that needs assessment. ❌ ... are looking for someone to write your academic essay or circumvent plagiarism detectors for you. ❌ ... use AI writing and editing tools to create a product. ❌ ... want someone to tell you only what you want to hear. ❌ ... aren't interested in constructive criticism. 📚 Ready to get started?

I am an Emmy-nominated TV journalist and PR expert who enjoys delivering high-level content to clients in a variety of formats. As a news industry professional who understands the power of strategic messaging through social media, news releases, newsletters, interviews, etc., my priority is to always help clients reach the right target audience and excel in their goals. From television news to public relations, I have more than 20 years of experience in the communications industry. If it’s great content you need, expect: 🏆Quality 🏆Prompt, frequent communication (This is so important for the success of any project) 🏆Honesty (I’m not afraid to offer suggestions or my professional opinion) 🏆Proper formatting of press releases, blog posts, etc. 🏆The use of copyright-free images where appropriate 🏆Top-level content written for clarity, accuracy, syntax and grammar 🏆100% original content (No AI/ChatGPT!) 🏆SEO-friendly content 🏆Native English speaker ⭐WORK WITH A PRO⭐ Don’t take a chance on an amateur just because the low rates are enticing. It’s likely to cost you time, money and dissatisfaction in the long run. My writing has been featured on AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Realtor.com, Hallmark, Zoosk, Wide Open Country, Patch.com, The Nest, eHow, Chron (Houston Chronicle) and OMG Facts to name a few. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing lots of interesting people, including celebrities like Hollywood actor Danny Glover, popular TV chef Paula Deen, Hootie and the Blowfish, Olympian Scott Hamilton, ABC show host Ty Pennington and rapper-turned-actor Xzibit who previously starred on the hit FOX show "Empire." I've also interviewed presidential candidates like Newt Gingrich, Mark Sanford, Herman Cain, Ron Paul as well as Beau Biden, the late son of President Joe Biden. ⭐PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERT⭐ My PR clients have ranged from Fortune 500 companies to musicians, actors and prodigies in the making. Some have appeared on major news outlets, like Good Morning America, as well as their local newspapers and NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX-affiliate stations. Journalists generally make the best PR experts. We know what works and what won't when trying to grab the media's attention. We are "in the know." Don't trust the guidance of a "so-called publicist" who has never actually worked in a newsroom. ⭐EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS⭐ Whether it's writing blog posts, marketing a service, event or product or generating news articles, my writing style is very versatile and can be catered to your specific needs or topic. With every writing/editing/social media project I tackle, I strive for 100% customer satisfaction. I'm not happy unless you're happy. ⭐CONTENT SPECIALTIES:⭐ ✅Press Releases ✅Newsletters ✅Viral Content ✅News Articles ✅Blog Posts ✅Q&A Articles ✅Bios ✅Proofreading ✅Copy Editing ✅Marketing Copy ✅Creative Writing ✅Web Page Content ✅Interviews ✅Scriptwriting ✅Emails ⭐OTHER SPECIALITIES:⭐ ✅Green Screen Content ✅Public Relations Coaching/Consulting ✅Voiceovers ✅Photography ✅Spokesperson Videos ✅WordPress ✅Video Editing ✅Social Media Marketing (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) ✅Adobe After Effects ❗WORK TERMS❗ Nikki only accepts work from clients whose payment method is verified. She does not accept multiple milestones for one-time needed projects. Hourly jobs are clocked manually; however, the client will be told what the actual charge will be prior to hiring. She also does not do FREE 'writing or editing tests.' ❗PLEASE NOTE❗ Nikki automatically declines job invites from clients with low reviews (less than 4 stars) and who fail to provide sufficient information in the job description. She is open to working with new clients on the platform who have yet to establish a rating.

An experienced freelance copy editor and writer, I have copy edited fiction and nonfiction books, written blog articles, website content, and advertising copy. Proofreading is another skillset of mine that I have honed. I have studied the craft of writing and the publishing ecosystem. I absolutely love what I do, and it's what drives me to do the excellent work I am known for. I am focused on my clients; their success is my success. I am currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University and support a 4.0 GPA. My software skills are in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs, Open Office, and Scrivener. Most familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, and the MLA Style Guide, I can also use AP Style. I have working experience in SEO and create highly searchable pages for my clients. When proofreading, I check for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and other mechanical errors. I do the same when editing. I look for healthy structure, smooth flow, and easy transitions. I make sure everything makes sense in the big picture and spot check facts when asked to. Consistency of style is also critical and makes it easier for the reader to concentrate on the material, not constant style changes in the text. I am proficient with the deliverables of editing and proofreading: error checking, style guides, mark-ups, tracking changes, document version control, and comments, all on time. I work efficiently and am detail-oriented. Working well with direction or on my own, I pick things up quickly. I am focused and stay on target to have your job done on time. I have edited and proofread throughout my career, leading to promotions and being placed on-site with a client to help their clients. My studies in English throughout my undergraduate and graduate work have prepared me for excellence in your job.

I currently work as a Library Assistant at North Greenville University. I am looking for freelance work to bring writing back into my life. I am involved with a remote writing group, Scribes Divided. We have published two anthologies so far--one of flash fiction and one of short stories. I contributed two pieces of writing to the first and one story to the second. I was also on the editing team for the second anthology. I ensured that my assigned stories followed the Chicago Manual of Style as well as our group's unique style guide. I worked as a proofreader for a local author. We collaborated on Google Docs, and I corrected style and grammar, as well as utilized the platform to make formatting suggestions and style corrections. During the summer and fall of 2016, I wrote copy for one of Enfabled's card games, Carry On. In this role, I was given a piece of character artwork, a character title (e.g. "The Pacifist"), and a minimal description of his or her personality. From there, I fleshed out a backstory, fitting it into the End of the World setting of the game. I loved being able to use my creativity to write narratives for the characters, each with their own unique voice, perspective, and history. My rates are negotiable. I prefer projects to hours worked though.

My PhD in linguistics and over twenty-five years of work experience in the fields of English composition, rhetoric, and ESL have convinced me that the most important skill of good writing is the ability to empathize with one’s readers—to get inside readers’ heads, as it were, and see the text from their perspective. This empathy, combined with a comprehensive knowledge of the English language, meticulous attention to detail, and strong communication skills, has generated consistently positive feedback from students and colleagues throughout my career as a teacher, tutor, and published researcher and writer. I bring this same expertise and reliability to my work as a freelance writer and editor. My academic career has afforded me literally thousands of hours of experience revising, editing, and proofreading student work, experience that translates directly into my freelance activities and has honed my ability to communicate feedback (and negotiate intended meaning) in a precise and efficient manner. Moreover, my commitment to each client is the same, no matter the size or nature of the job: I will complete the task expertly and with close attention to the needs and wishes of the client. I look forward to hearing from you about the goals you have for your particular writing project(s).

Having taught everything from third grade up to college level English, I have seen just about every mistake possible in the English language and provided a solution for it. Academically, my strengths are MLA and APA formatting, understanding complex assignments, building cohesive arguments, and ensuring that the overall flow of a piece is well-honed. My undergraduate work was a Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in technical writing and editing. This program allowed me to work with texts from different fields, mostly web-based, to develop strategies to make technical information clear and accessible to all readers.

Hello! I am a freelance writer and editor. I specialize in writing in the Digital PR and Tech spaces. My work has been published in a number of magazines such as USA Today, Forbes AU, The Los Angeles Tribune, and plenty more!

When it comes to editing, I’ve worked with indie authors, a small facsimile publisher, and blogs of all sizes to proofread and copy edit their content.
