Every project deserves story-driven outreach. I offer editing and post-production services to organizations still finding their voice in today's media landscape. Engaging videos and immersive podcasts are often only available to those who can fund large teams of in-house creators ⁠— and I want to change that. Whether you're an artist looking to edit a Kickstarter video, a researcher who needs game cam footage to shine for social media, or a teacher ready to start a podcast, I can guide you through the budget-conscious production process. I build narrative-driven, documentary-style content for educators, scientists, and community advocates. As a producer, I’m often in the position of editing voices different from my own, so I work closely with you during the production process to ensure I edit accurately and sensitively. I've worked on projects that highlight: - Climate change - Science education - Ecology - Alaska life - Arctic issues - LGBTQ stories - Cross-cultural collaborations I’ve worked with artists and researchers both as a producer and as a fellow artist/research assistant. I aim to keep the production process transparent for when you're ready to take the reins on content creation. Send me a message and let's build your story together. - Kel (any pronouns, agender)

I have edited and typeset 40+ nonfiction manuscripts (over 3 million words!) for a traditional publishing company. I have also edited books, articles, websites, and other content for dozens of Upwork clients with 100% job satisfaction. I have a strong knowledge of grammar, punctuation, word use, etc., and a keen eye for detail. I especially love to help clients improve the organization and flow of their content so that it is clear, engaging, and easy for readers to digest. I specialize in nonfiction work, especially self-help, memoir, business, Christian, and educational books. (Please note that I do not work with adult material.) I would love the opportunity to edit the content you've worked so hard to write, making sure it's as close to perfect as possible! *** TESTIMONIALS *** ⭐ From Dr. Nathaniel M. Lambert, author of "Publish and Prosper: A Strategy Guide for Students and Researchers": 💬 "Liz proved to be a tremendous asset to me. She provided insightful feedback and extensive editing. Her diligence and the quality of her work were nothing short of astounding, and I am personally very grateful for her contributions." ----- ⭐ From Heather Holm, editor-in-chief at Cedar Fort: 💬 "Liz is an exceptional employee who is always willing to go the extra mile. Her editing, proofing, source-checking, and typesetting skills are invaluable to us. She is willing to take on any assignment even if it is undesirable and needs to go to press right away. Her cheerful disposition and positive attitude are greatly appreciated in our high-stress work environment. In summary, Liz is wonderful to work with. Any business would be blessed to have her as an employee. They just don’t come any better!" ----- ⭐ From Pierre Walters, CEO of Blue Artists and Brand Desk: 💬 "Liz was a joy to work with. She took the time necessary to thoroughly review my manuscripts and provide thoughtful, detailed, and thematically appropriate suggestions and comments in addition to her edits. Liz was friendly to work with and was engaged in the process of making my writing better. I appreciated her attention to the little details as well as the larger themes and ideas. She is easily one of the best editors that you can work with, not just in terms of skill but in terms of personality and professionalism. She did not nickel and dime me, though her pricing was fair and reasonable.

Hello! If you’ve found my Upwork profile, I’d like to welcome you to my page and introduce myself. My name is Abigail, and I’m a writer and trained editor. My current projects include editing and proofreading newsletters, blogs, articles, web copy, and academic papers. I am a detail-oriented writer and editor who works hard to spotlight the best aspects of your projects. With mechanical editing, I will help you eliminate errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax. In addition to mechanical editing, I also offer developmental editing.

A developmental edit can also happen after you’ve written a draft, and at this stage it helps you to style and refine your writing. I am open to a wide variety of projects and happy to discuss your project with you. Send me a message—I am eager to meet you!

I am a Colorado native, and for the past several years, I've been a freelance writer. Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked in fields ranging from healthcare to taxes to politics. Regardless of the position I held, I ended up the person asked to write and edit all of the high-stakes content. I am a quick study; I can learn highly complicated concepts and present them so that your target market is compelled to action. I have helped companies change their tone to more professional, more fun, or more polished, depending on their marketing objectives. I have ghostwritten columns for different business-related websites, managed blogs that needed an SEO upgrade, and breathed life into technical, uninspiring content. No matter the industry, content never need be dull. The English language is one of the most fascinating languages in use, and there is no excuse for its misuse. So if you need versatile, natural writing by a writer who is a detail-oriented editor and loves to nerd out on grammar when the occasion arises, contact me. I will make the complex sound simple, and the simple sound exciting.

If you're itching to transform that essay into a singular and impactful piece... I'm Benjamin, "The Paper Genie" (my business moniker). At the core of what I do is relating your strengths to the characteristics of universities and academic programs in which you are interested. As a former Writing Consultant (University of Colorado) and English teacher of 26 years, I have learned to harness language to showcase your traits in a unique way that will resonate with your readers. I do ask for an initial draft to work from - the key to voiceful writing that rings true to who you are. In the Academic Sphere: For five years, I've worked with a college consulting company to help high school seniors applying to the University of California network, including UC Berkeley and UCLA. I've also revised undergraduate and graduate pieces for all the Ivies, Oxford, Cambridge, the London Schools of Economics and Business, Johns Hopkins, and a hundred other schools. In the Business Realm: I optimize bio profiles and letters for C-Suite executives, revise promotional/creative material, proof websites, streamline stubborn mission statements - whatever you need. Since transitioning from teaching to full-time freelancing, I've helped nearly 1, 000 clients to realize their ambitions; I hope you are next. Benjamin N. (The Paper Genie)

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.

Also, I make sure that your written work is polished and professional and that it effectively communicates your message to your audience.

I also ensure that your writing is consistent in style and tone, conforming to your brand or communication standards.

I'm always happy to go the extra mile to ensure that my clients are completely satisfied with my work! Thank you for considering me for your proofreading and copyediting needs.

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.”

Hello! I’m an early-rising, coffee-drinking, book-loving, freelance editor who is passionate about Children’s Literature. I aim to encourage, inspire, and lend a helping hand along your journey as an author. My Experience... With over a decade of editing experience, I decided to utilize my degree in education and editing courses from the University of Michigan to focus on editing children’s books. Fast-forward two years, and I have authors so happy with my work that they’ve included me in the credits of their books. In addition to my experience and education, I know kid’s books. So well, in fact, I have quite a few favs I can read to my little guys without looking at the words (but don’t tell them). I’m well acquainted with classic authors like Bill Peet, Lois Lensky, and Maurice Sendak. I know authors who have been around for a while, like Laura Numeroff, Stan and Jan Berenstain, and Patricia Polacco. And I keep up with newer authors like Jez Alborough, James Dean, and Karma Wilson. I even have a vintage children’s book collection (something my husband fails to fully appreciate, lol). Let’s Work Together... I know what makes a good book, and, more importantly, I know how to make one just a little better. I can help you add that unique flair, catch that wee little thing the kids won’t like, or shine up a line that will bring an extra-big laugh. All you need to know about me before we work together is that I’m a Christian, and I try to ensure the projects I take on reflect my beliefs. I’m flexible, easy to work with, and honest. Never a need to be nervous or fearful about handing over your manuscript. I’d like us to be a team and make your book the best it can be. My goal is to be helpful by finding mistakes, offering suggestions, and providing constructive, encouraging feedback. Editing Service Details • 1st Edits: These edits are the most extensive and include tracked changes, suggestions, and separate detailed, written feedback. They focus on developmental editing and line editing. They are the most expensive. • 2nd Edits: These are available to my reocurring clients. They are usually smaller versions of the first edits and include feedback on new changes made, a heavier focus on line editing, and light proofreading. • Proofreads: I proofread during all of my edits, but this proofread is a fine-toothed comb approach to catch those pesky last-minute errors and typos. During this proofreading I work through the manuscript word-by-word three times. Then, I conduct an audio read, which is very helpful in catching tiny errors that one’s eyes often overlook. These final checks on the manuscripts are usually conducted after you have set your text with illustrations or right before printing. A Final Note Before You Go Let me end with the final, most important note: YOUR SATISFICATION. It is essential to me that you are 100% happy with my editing. If you are ever dissatisfied with your edits (even a bit), I’ll make it right—PROMISE!
