    Please note my rate is $.08 a word (with discount considerations for long-term assignments). Upwork does not allow me to quote for that in most proposal formats. EXPERIENCE 35 years of diligent, professional wordsmithing on and off the web. I have a reputation for well-researched and crafted pieces that respect your voice and vision (or that of your clientele). The topics tackled span a wide range. Here are just a few: - Barbecue/Grilling - Elder care (facilities, health issues, etc) - Floriography - Gardening - Immigration - Pets (care, breeds, illnesses, cats/dogs) - Plumbing - Recipe creation WORK ETHIC I will ALWAYS tell you if I am out of my element. No writer can create solid content for every topic. I know my limits and stick within them. I am also very sensitive to deadline-driven projects. If I can't make a deadline, I either won't take the project or discuss alternatives with you FIRST. When there are questions, I ask. When there are answers, I listen. Generally, I enjoy clients with whom I can establish long-term working relationships. The material benefits from this, as it creates greater continuity. However, if you have a single-serve and think I'm the gal for the job, don't hesitate! Note: I can provide links to pieces I have online, but I have ghostwritten the vast majority of my articles for websites. So, I am happy to provide a fresh sample based on your specifications.

    I've spent the last ten years working with my craft, building worlds, designing characters, and bringing it all to life. I'm a storyteller at heart, and I love to get into the little details that really make everything come together. My experience runs deep in the field, encompassing narrative design, genre theory, plot work and step sheets, and character development. In addition to a decade of professional writing experience, I have a B.A. in English and Creative Writing, during which I produced an extensive thesis on genre and narrative theory. I work in a wide variety of genres, including but not limited to: romance, fantasy, young adult contemporary, and science fiction. I'm extremely familiar with the components that make these genres tick, and I am always looking to learn more and broaden my horizons! I love to research my projects and discover as much as I can about the markets to which my work appeals. I also have a healthy interest in interactive narrative design. I work in Twine and Unity in my spare time, I'm learning to code, and I always have an eye out for opportunities within the game and interactive space!
