    My pen name is Emily Blue. I am a writer to the core.  More than half of my life has been spent in just writing and developing my skills and unique style.  I pride myself on my vibrant imagery and dynamic characters, and I enjoy researching on subjects in order to keep my work grounded and relatable.  I also edit everything I write, and only ever turn in error-free work. Strong communication between freelancers and clients is important to me.  I want to give you exactly what you were thinking of, and I will do it faster than my competition, and for more reasonable budgets.  My schedule is also highly flexible, and I am always available for new opportunities.  I enjoy trying my hand at new genres, and am open to anything.  My preferred genres are romance, science fiction, fantasy; I will also review products, and pen articles. My history on Upwork is growing ever-upward, and I plan to only keep rising higher. I look forward to working with you.

    I am a freelance content writer and editor with over 4 years of experience who brings a broad skillset to the table. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with SMEs, storyboarding, giving detailed feedback, and creating engaging and well-researched scripts and eLearning scenarios. I’m also familiar with basic SEO practices, such as links and strategic keyword placement. I specialize in the following topics: * Educational Writing (incl. languages and language learning) * LGBTQ+ Issues * Modern Culture As someone with a degree in Modern Languages and Cultures from a top-tier UK university, I have a strong interest in language, culture, and communication. As part of my degree, I also took a detailed translation module. This helped me develop a deeper understanding of language, as well as more of a feeling for tone, style, and voice. I believe this has only made me stronger as a writer. Outside of writing and editing, I have experience working as a video writer manager. In this role, I was responsible for hiring and onboarding new writers, as well as helping to create training materials. This experience has helped me hone my ability to work collaboratively and manage teams effectively. I am familiar with the following tools: ClickUp, Trello, Slack, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Whether I'm writing, editing, or proofreading, I bring a strong commitment to quality, creativity, and professionalism.

    I'm an experienced freelance writer, having spent a little over four years working through Upwork. In that time I have mostly been focused on the romance genre, although I have ventured into other genres such as post-apocalyptic and mysteries. I am a versatile writer and pride myself on creating compelling stories no matter what the genre. I can write from an outline or develop my own plots using my endless imagination. I like to form long-term relationships with my clients and make sure to be available for communication as often as possible. Although I am based in the UK I am proficient in using American English. I spent some time living in America so I am aware of the colloquialisms. I have a wide variety of samples for perusal as well, in multiple genres. I hold a degree in Philosophy from the University of Canterbury. I have self-published my own e-books on Amazon as well, meaning that I am more than capable of editing and proofreading my own work. I have a real passion for writing and I believe this comes through in my work. I write quickly, and ensure a fast, reliable turnaround without sacrificing an ounce of quality.

I specialize in long-form and complex projects - books, in particular - but the breadth of my experience has given me the ability to tackle any project with confidence. While I am always careful to respect my clients' budgets, I will be the best fit for those whose top priority is quality. My solid background in journalism has given me top-notch research and interview skills, plus a knack for finding/developing the story. I am expert at digging deep into the minds of my subjects to discover who they really are, what they truly care about, and what their valuable contribution is to this planet.

    "One of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. We've been working on projects for years, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for writing in any area. HIGHLY, highly recommend and one of the hardest workers out there. A++" Hello, and thank you for looking at my profile. I have been writing for many years - both fiction and non-fiction - and in 2022 I had the great honour of being shortlisted for the Dinesh Allirajah Award for Crime Writing. Previously, I was also shortlisted for the H.E. Bates Short Story Competition and the Writing Magazine Short Story Competition. As a perfectionist, I will deliver consistently high standards with thorough research every time. Writing is my full-time job and I treat every job with professionalism, ensuring I work with the client to provide the very best results for their needs within the deadlines they set. I am able to tackle a wide range of genres; one look at my job history will show you exactly what I mean, while a glance through my feedback will reassure you that I give every job - big and small - 100%. I am a qualified Hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression Therapist, and Holistic Pain Management Consultant and have also studied Aromatherapy and Herbalism; in addition, I hold a diploma in Law of Attraction studies, so if your project requires someone with an understanding of more esoteric subjects, I can absolutely deliver on that, too. With the ability to adopt a spectrum of writing styles - whether you are looking for writing on the humourous side of life or require a much more serious voice - I can produce what you need. I also write for young children and have co-authored and published a rhyming book for kids, and I have written for the adult market, too. In short, whatever you need from a freelance writer, I can deliver. Born, raised, and educated in Oxford, UK, I can guarantee excellent grammar and spelling. However, I am also proficient in US English, so whether you are in the UK or the US you can rest assured you are in the best possible hands. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

How to Hire Top Creative Writers

Creative writers are skilled storytellers. You could hire a creative writer for personal projects like ghostwriting a novel and writing a screenplay. You can also use their storytelling chops to craft marketing content that grabs the readers' attention and builds loyalty.

Top creative writers can write just about any content where you want to build up the reader’s emotions to encourage a desired action. This may be anything from a blog post about a company’s origin story to emails promoting a product.

Understanding fundamentals including what creative writers do, how much they’re in demand, and how to write a job description, can improve your chances of hiring the right person. Here’s what you should know.

The role of a creative writer

Creative writers do more than write, they often support teams with tasks like developing content strategy, managing assets, and researching topics. Before looking for someone, think through all of the tasks you want them to handle.

Also, keep in mind that many writers don’t start their careers writing full time. Many writers have specific industry, education, cultural, or subject matter knowledge that can make their writing more engaging for your specific audience.

Creative writer tasks

Although creative writers spend most of their time writing, their daily tasks often include some or all of the following:

  • Developing story angles to present a message in the most compelling and memorable way
  • Researching topics to create relevant and engaging content that meets marketing goals
  • Editing content to validate proof points, remove errors, and improve readability
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure their content supports larger marketing campaigns

Common projects for creative writers

Use a creative writer for any internal or external content that can be made more impactful with a good story. Here are a few ways businesses work with creative writers:

    • Craft a brand narrative. Attract like-minded customers by defining what a company stands for and why it exists.
    • Expand social media presence. Increase followers and engagement by writing posts, videos, and campaigns.
    • Write video scripts. Make explainer and brand awareness videos more impactful with the right words.
    • Produce press releases. Convey messages clearly for anything from product launches to handling difficult situations.
    • Write an ebook. Share thought leadership, research, or product information.

Job description for a creative writer

If you’re looking for a freelance creative writer, you don’t need as detailed a job description as you would when hiring an employee. Whether you need someone on a project basis or full time, be sure to provide enough information for the writer to know if they’re a good match for the job. This will reduce your time spent sifting through unqualified responses.

Here’s what a good writer job description should include:

  • Eye-catching job post title. Describe the problem you’re seeking to solve and include keywords that you think the writer will search for. Example: Creative writer with a medical background to ghostwrite a murder mystery.
  • Detailed scope of work. Tell them what they’ll need to do, with expected deliverables and timelines. Example: You’ll write five articles around 1,500 to 2,000 words each and deliver one article per month. All articles should be fact-checked and include references to quotes and statistics used.
  • Competitive pay rate. For full-time employees, include a salary range. For independent contractors, state whether it’s a fixed-price or hourly contract and the rate.
  • List of qualifications. Clearly separate your must-haves from the nice-to-haves. If you’re hiring a freelancer through Upwork, you have access to the world’s largest talent pool, so you’re likely to find the exact person you’re looking for.

Sample creative writer interview questions

Consider asking a combination of interview questions that will help you understand the creative writer’s work processes and writing style, and what it’s like to work with them. A few questions may be:

  • How do you generate story ideas? See their creative process and ability to solve problems.
  • How do you begin writing about a topic that you’re unfamiliar with? Understand their research approach and attention to detail.
  • How do you maintain work quality with changing deadlines? Check out their organizational skills and ability to adapt.
  • How do you incorporate feedback into your writing? Gauge their openness to collaboration and constructive criticism.

Cost to hire a creative writer

Costs vary depending on several factors including niche expertise, background, turnaround time for a project, writer’s location, and demand for the writer. For instance, a creative writer who had several books appear on the New York Times bestseller list may command a higher price than an equally skilled writer who doesn’t yet have a history of success.

That said, the average rates for a creative writer in the U.S. according to Indeed are:

  • Full time. $40,000 – $50,000

Hiring outlook for creative writers in 2024

Companies especially need help with digital content including blogs, emails, videos, and social media. Creative writers with a strong understanding of SEO and digital content strategies—and increasingly, generative AI—may be in higher demand than those without such knowledge.

A huge benefit of creative writers is that they can work 100% remotely, so you can work with anyone located anywhere. That makes it much easier for you to find the ideal talent for a project or to join your team full time. And since they don’t need to work on-site, you can expand your search to more diverse talent pools, such as those available through Upwork.
