    I've been using Upwork since the summer of 2012 as a means of paying off college debt with writing and editing jobs of various skill and educational levels here and there. Throughout those years, I've worked a couple of on-site full-time jobs, but I have also relied on Upwork for supplemental income. Since 2021, I have transformed Upwork into a regular work gig. My concentration lies in transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. This is especially true for writing resumes, cover letters, and technical/instructional articles and manuals. Occasionally, I dabble in editing fantasy fiction and romance novels. Here's more about me and what I do (a.k.a. my old profile that I feel like keeping here for nostalgic purposes): I edit, proofread, and re-write content to make it sound more professional, consistent, and/or entertaining. Deadlines are met in a reasonable yet prompt time frame. I do my best to show professionalism and competence when working with clients. My strengths when it comes to writing and editing include: resumes and cover letters, various product descriptions (food, fashion, jewelry, makeup, home décor, etc.), how-to-manuals, a variety of fiction genres, music and movie reviews, newsletters, and dialogue scripts. My overall style of writing can be described as "terse". If you need someone who is good at chopping up wordy text and getting straight to the point, you've come to the right place. However, I can and have successfully written narrative, persuasive, and descriptive articles. My portfolio is vast.

    Sales Growth Guaranteed!  ✅ #1 SEO Results on Google  ✅ 5x customer orders in only 60 days! ✅ 100%-500% sales increase for most clients I'm here to write content for your webpage, landing page, or sales funnel that will increase your sales, guaranteed. My custom process is designed and tweaked to fit every client's needs, and I don't stop working until you get the results of your dreams. When you hire me, you're not buying content. You're getting my complete focus and dedication as a member of your team. I thrive on 5-star reviews, and that means I don't win unless you win. In the last two years, I have:  📈 Doubled e-mail open rates 📈 1,000x social media engagement  📈 Increased sales conversions by 500% 📈 SEO Ranked #1 on Google And in one instance, I even maxed out my client's business! We had to part ways because she literally could not handle any more customers. I'm able to achieve these results because I'm not just an expert at copywriting, but marketing as well. “So, Shane. Tell me what you specialize in? What are you best at?”  I get this question often - and there IS an answer, but maybe not the one you’d expect.  My “focus” or “core strength” or “expertise,” whatever you want to call it, is not a specific niche or audience or type of content.  I specialize in connecting your company with the customers that want your service. That’s it.  That doesn’t mean that I treat content for the health industry the same as content for the financial space.  But it does mean that the guiding principle is the same.   That principle is Empathy. Emotion. Understanding. Connection.  Great copywriting isn’t about syntax or grammar or marketing hacks. It’s about building trust with the reader, and that can only happen when you put in the work to understand what they care about most.  And that’s why I can promise you results.   I know how to use my skills to connect with your audience, whomever they may be.  I know it might be jarring to get such a hard and fast promise from a copywriter. So many freelancers - of all types really - are shy about promising results. And to be fair, there is a good reason for that.  Copywriting is not the only factor to success. This 100% true. But great copywriting will always increase results.   There is only one situation for which I cannot guarantee results: You already HAVE great copy. And if you have great copy but aren’t getting results, there is likely something else wrong with your process.  Even in that situation, I can still help.  Before I work with any client, I do a full audit of their marketing efforts and results. I want to be sure that my skills are a good match for your project before we join forces.   If the results of that audit indicate that copy or content is not the best use of your efforts, I won’t just decline the project - I’ll give you a full rundown on exactly why I don’t think written content should be the focus of your efforts. Even if we don't work together, I want you to walk away thinking, "Boy am I glad I talked to that guy!" Reach out today and let's figure out how I can help you find success!

    Are you having trouble getting your story out? Do words escape you? Are you too busy? Or, maybe, you've written your first draft and need a solid editor before revisions. Whatever the situation, whatever the story, whatever the stage of writing you're in, I will deliver the results you need. I have over ten years of experience with the written word and constantly strive to improve my work by studying techniques, conducting research, and putting the pen to the page every single day. With me, you are in capable, meticulous hands. I've always been the sort of person who thrives in order- a creative individual that prefers ideas thrown at her, if you will. I especially enjoy watching other writers flourish, learn, and succeed; it’s one of the most rewarding things about my job. Here on Upwork, I’ve collaborated with a handful of clients on large projects that included services such as heavy editing, ghostwriting, manuscript assistance, outline production, and a slew of other assignments. I do tend to gravitate toward long-term projects, but I am open to the right short-term assignment. My communication lines are wide open for the entirety of the project, and my client has my complete attention. My writing style is fluid. I can do different voices and stylistic flares, though I do insist on realistic human/humanoid reactions inside of the narrative. On a personal level, I'm quite empathetic and, just as in real life, it's very easy for me to see through different viewpoints. This is quite useful in writing, considering how many different personalities and experiences one must adopt in order to tell a good story. I'm a lively, adaptable, personable, and overactive writer as well as a solid editor. I'm very serious about the things that I love, and writing is most certainly one of them. I truly hope that you consider me to write, edit, or assist with whatever it is that needs to be worked on, because there's nobody better for the job. Below are the current services that I offer. Most prices vary by project, but a flat-rate fee can be negotiated. Thank you for your time, and I sincerely look forward to hearing from you soon. Book Coach: Outline development Manuscript development Character development Theme/Mood development Dialogue Structure Technique Characters Relationship Dynamics As my client, you will receive: A written critique of the manuscript, and specific ways to fix it. This can also include an overview of the skeleton, character bios, scene blocking, and so forth if applicable. After the initial critique, we will rework your story fundamentals. After the fundamentals are locked in place, I will guide you toward a strong finish for your book. Beta reading: Manuscript overview Marketability overview Proofreading: A final edit to clean up any stray mistakes Developmental Editing: Heavy structure editing Creative Writing: Ghostwriting Outlining (Skeletons, scenes, characters, etc) Lore and Worldbuilding Writing Assistance, Writing Partner: One initial video consultation before the contract is initiated, free of charge. We will discuss your manuscript (or your idea for a manuscript,) how much work each of us will contribute, and whether or not we are a good fit for one another. All other video calls will be charged by the hour. As a writing partner, I will do all of the boring legwork so that you don’t have to. Research, networking, method and technique application, etc. I will also either write your outline for you or provide you with a pre-structured outline to fill in. As to genres, I generally specialize in adventure, supernatural, dark fiction, fantasy, new adult, and historical fiction. I also have experience with children’s literature, young adult, women's fiction, and romance. I have no experience in (but am open to trying) science fiction, mystery, and anything that hasn’t been named above.

    Hi, I'm Kayla, and I'm an independent Travel Advisor and Trip Designer. I create detailed day-by-day itineraries and do all the preliminary research for clients so they don't have to! I can book accommodations and activities for clients, or I can provide direct links for clients to purchase tickets on their own. In 2022, I spent half a year traveling internationally, and it's become a huge passion of mine to help others plan their dream trips, both domestically and internationally. I can provide the tips, tricks, recommendations, and research that you need. I'm also a writer and editor! have a BA in Literary Arts and English Literature from Brown University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. I'm a former academic advisor and adjunct instructor at a university, and a former high school English teacher with experience in academic writing, research, blog writing, travel writing, proofreading, and all forms of creative writing. I have several published essays and editing experience. In my own writing, I'm currently working on personal essays, travel pieces, narrative journalism, a memoir, and a novel.

    In my freelance work, I manage multiple clients and execute highly successful storytelling orders (I carry a unanimous five-star rating). In the past 6 months, I've ghostwritten two backstory orders for a card game that was later funded on Kickstarter, crafted descriptive storyboards for an in-progress VFX project, and been involved with a VR group in developing a completely new IP for their upcoming PvP centric Metaverse game. Not only that, but I've also produced content for use on "About Me" web pages, social media posts, and even for NFTs. Additionally, in my "day job" as a high school English teacher, I routinely assist students in writing their own personal and creative narratives (I also grade them, which I would wager is a task on par with several editor positions). I'm positive my varied skill set would make me an immediate asset to any writer's room.

    I am a producer with experience in story development, writing, film production, and team organization. As a professional in the film industry, I am skilled at knowing what stories and plotlines will engage audiences the most. This goes for novels as well. Based on what you need from me, I can create well-rounded, entertaining characters and place them in situations filled with conflict and tension that captivate readers to continue consuming. I am an incredibly strong writer, but I am newer to this field, so I accept lower per-word rates. Creatively, I can guide stories to their greatest potential with my experience working with graduate film students. I also have experience with literary developmental editing, working with writers to get a story ready to publish. My practical experience is in project planning, logistics, and professional communication. I am looking to assist virtually to improve your workflow and get your projects to the finish line. I am a prolific communicator, so staying updated and making sure everything is clear is very important to me. I hope my skills encourage you to bring me onto your team. I can't wait to work with you.
