★ Grew a crypto vertical 208% in clicks and 80% in revenue in 15 months ★ Built financial newsletters reaching 25,000 readers with open rates up to 39% ★ Syndicated by MSN, Yahoo Finance, and AOL Financial content has the hardest job on the internet: it has to be accurate enough for compliance, authoritative enough for Google, and engaging enough that a real person actually finishes reading it. That's the work I do. I'm a finance writer and editor with 6+ years in the industry, most recently as Copy Editor & Deputy Crypto Editor at Finder, where I covered crypto, investing, banking, product reviews, and data-driven "Best of" roundups. What I bring to your project: — Deep editorial standards: AP Style, SEO-first thinking, in-house style guide development — Full-cycle editorial: I write, edit, brief writers, and manage content operations — A track record of autonomous, high-volume output — Fully human writing by default — plus experience editing and fact-checking AI-assisted content when that's your workflow One more thing that makes me unusual in this niche: before finance, I was a published novelist with Penguin Random House and won the American Library Association's Alex Award. Storytelling craft is why my financial content gets read, not just ranked. Send me a message describing your project, and I'll let you know whether we're a good fit.

I currently offer developmental editing and beta reading services for fiction, with a focus on science fiction and fantasy. I'm happy to provide short edited samples (10 pages maximum) for free; this is a good way to see if my editorial style is compatible with you. Don't hesitate to reach out with an excerpt of your work! My developmental edit process includes: - 2 passes (one "readerly" pass, followed by a slower, commenting pass) - an editorial feedback document; lengthy, generally 15+ pages - a commented manuscript - optional: tracked changes within the manuscript; if declined, NO changes will be made to the manuscript text - continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes without a new contract) I strive to complete developmental edits within 4-5 weeks. I am happy to look at manuscript samples (no more than 10 pages) and provide comments on those samples at no charge. I charge $0.025 per word for developmental edits. My beta reading process includes: - requesting a list of 4-6 questions for my feedback focus - 1 pass - 1 feedback document organized around your questions; this can be either general feedback focused on the manuscript as a whole, or piecemeal feedback (part-by-part, etc.), according to your preference - optional: continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes) I strive to complete beta reading contracts within 7-10 days, though piecemeal feedback may be slower for longer manuscripts. For works under 80k words, I charge $100 for whole manuscript feedback and $150 for piecemeal feedback. For works over 80k words, I charge $0.00125 per word for general feedback and $0.0019 per word for piecemeal feedback. Genres notwithstanding, I have a deep love for stories that make readers wrestle with fresh perspectives and uncertainties in personal, intimate ways. I have a powerful curiosity about fictional worlds, which makes me fiendishly keen to verify details and maintain consistency. This also means I’m always eager to hear authors gush about their world-building! As an editor, I aim to help stories connect with readers in the way the author intends. My time working with self-translating writers has intensified my appreciation for this nuanced connection stories forge between people; I have learned that one of my greatest strengths is my willingness to ask authors exploratory, difficult questions about their work and to listen to the whole of their answers, however intricate or arcane. I strive to use this compassionate, detail-oriented approach to help authors however I can. If you're looking for an editor who will embrace your story for the reasons you're writing it in the first place, I am the right editor for you. Let's make sure your words reach your readers exactly how you want them to. Developmental Edits provided for: "The City of Nov Salus" by C.

Your AI-assisted content has a tell. It's smooth without being specific. It fills space without disturbing anything. You can feel the statistical center pulling every sentence toward the most probable version of itself. I fix that. The work doesn't sound like AI wrote it because, in the ways that count, it didn't. The core methodology is called the Balloon Method. It works in stages: — A human-written seed (a governing frame, a TL;DR, a structural decision) anchors the piece before generation starts — AI expands in constrained phases — Human editorial interruption happens between every stage — not at the end — The result: output that scores below 5% on AI detection tools, not because anyone's trying to game a detector, but because the human decisions are load-bearing throughout What I deliver: → WORKFLOW AUDITS I look at what you're currently doing with AI writing tools and tell you exactly where convergence is happening — where the output is getting flattened, generic, or indistinct — and what to fix. → CUSTOM WORKFLOW BUILDS I design and document a complete human-led writing system for your specific use case: content teams, solo creators, newsletter writers, fiction projects, marketing copy. The deliverable is a documented, repeatable process you own. → WRITING USING THE METHODOLOGY I produce original nonfiction, essays, and narrative content using the workflow as both the method and the proof. If you need a piece that demonstrates what human-led AI writing looks like, this is it. My background spans literary horror fiction, nonfiction essay writing, and original AI methodology development. The fiction isn't decorative — it's where I learned what good writing actually requires, which is what makes the workflow systems worth anything. Full methodology documentation, essays on AI authorship ethics, and writing samples in my portfolio. If your AI content is producing mush, that's a solvable problem.
