I'm a New York Times and Amazon #1 best-selling ghostwriter, editor, and book developer, now accepting a limited number of new clients. I hope I'll have the honor of serving you! For over twenty years I've helped the most demanding Upwork clients turn their brilliant ideas into best-selling books. As my valued client, I'll guide you every step of the way through the book writing or editing process, from the outline through the final proofreading. Be sure to ask me for your FREE initial consultation! For your novel, self-help book, memoir, business book, or business plan, here are just a few of the ways I can help you reach your goal.... NONFICTION BUSINESS BOOKS I'm a leading business ghostwriter with clients ranging from young entrepreneurs to CEOs of global Fortune 500 enterprises. I hold an MBA and can offer over a decade of experience writing and editing best-selling books, ebooks, and case studies. I routinely work with literary agents and editors at major publishing houses to develop my clients' books and get them successfully launched. SELF-HELP BOOKS For my valued clients I've ghostwritten or edited over 100 top-selling self-help books in the subject fields of heath, nutrition, spirituality, and careers. I can help you craft a powerful message and change your readers' lives! NOVELS AND MEMOIRS If you have the dream of becoming an author and have an idea for a novel or personal memoir, look no further! I've ghostwritten or edited dozens of successful novels and memoirs, many of which are top sellers on Amazon. Let's talk about how I can help you make your literary dreams come true. With all of my valued clients, confidentiality is assured. When I provide work samples, all identifying names, including characters, have been changed. Any book cover you see posted on my profile or website is with the client's permission. My job is to ensure your book stands out from the crowd by being fresh, original, and insightful. You need a book that's innovative and leads the pack, not one that follows behind. Yes, it costs more to be a leader, but in the long term, the benefits are unequalled. With a professionally ghostwritten or edited book from Thomas Hauck, you'll be positioned to lead your category and establish yourself as a true literary authority. I look forward to providing you with your free initial consultation. Let's get your book ready for your readers! ACTUAL UPWORK CLIENT FEEDBACK: "Hi, Thomas! I wanted to touch base and thank you again for the thoughtful edits. My book was released on March 18th on Amazon, Audible and Barnes & Noble online, with success! It is the #1 release in MS and lupus on Amazon, as well as reaching the top 5 best selling ranking list in 3 categories (doctor-patient relationships, immune systems and chronic fatigue). And I'm maintaining a 5/5 star rating so far! Thank you for being part of my journey!" - Kristina K. "So great! Thomas went further than anyone else before the work was committed to in terms of giving me direction and showing me how he could help move me towards my goals for this project. Value creation before a monetary transaction has occurred has sold me on his services now and in the future." - John H. ONE MORE: "This is the third time I work with Thomas and I'm super happy with his work. He under-promises and over-delivers every time. He delivered the work ahead of schedule, he's very responsive to questions and his work is top-notch. Highly recommended!" - Regina B. JUST ONE MORE: "Thomas is terrific. Intelligent, articulate, bright - a true scholar and gentleman. He is also very sensitive to pricing in today's market - which shows that he is a consummate professional. I am proud to call him a part of my all-star team. I don't want to tell you too many great things about him because I consider him to be a secret weapon!" - Ronald P.

I’m a freelance editor with over 20 years of experience—longer if you count all the typos I used to find in my early reader books. And I NEVER use AI. I love the English language (even if teaching it, or even fully understanding it, is fraught with trouble). My job is to make everything you do better. I have edited for traditionally published authors (like Elise Title who has published dozens of romance novels for Harlequin as well as psychosexual thrillers like Romeo for Bantam), and I have also worked with self-published authors, and even authors who just want to make their passion project perfect for themselves. “What about nonfiction books, Rebecca?” Yep, those too; everything from business manuals like Code–Measure–Improve by Adam Schwartz and Deborah Walsh, to self-help relationship books like Relationship Cleanup by Elise and Dr. Jeffrey Title. A special place in my clichéd heart is reserved for children’s and YA lit. I would call it nostalgia if I didn’t still read them for my own enjoyment. There is room in that aforementioned clichéd heart for my first love—poetry. When I was a child, my big brother read Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss to me until I memorized all my favorites. In sixth grade, when my English teacher read “Suicide’s Note” by Langston Hughes—my trajectory immediately changed. I studied poetry and poetics in college for my final thesis. I think that knowing the way words work in poetry gives me a unique perspective that serves to enhance my editing skills.

I bring focus, curiosity, and enthusiasm to every piece of writing I tackle, no matter the subject or scale. Rather than toot my own horn, though, I'll share my client testimonials: "Nina is a born copyeditor with laser vision for the right syntax, grammar, verb agreement, and simple clarity of thought. When proofreading my recently completed book manuscript, she made dozens of unsolicited copyedits on several chapters. They were so insightful, precise, and often brilliant that I was forced to make many more (valuable) changes than I had intended. She spotted a number of substantive and grammatical issues in my text that, as the author of 12-plus books of nonfiction, simply had not occurred to me." "Nina is an extraordinary writer who is detail-oriented and devoted to her work. We continue to be impressed with her writing and diligent work ethic. She also goes above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need all while being consistently reliable, attentive, and communicative. Overall, Nina takes her work very seriously and handles each writing assignment with great care. Any team would be lucky to have her." Having found ten years of success as an Upwork freelancer, I'm excited to put this valuable experience to work for you in producing compelling content. As a detail-oriented, assiduous researcher, I'm constantly striving for perfection. Criticism is an opportunity for growth, so clients should always feel free to tell me where I've missed the mark. I pride myself on being well-organized and am committed to finishing projects ahead of deadline. Want to learn more? Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi! I'm a professional proofreader, editor, and writer with a Bachelor of Arts in Literatures in English and a concentration in Creative Writing. I'm interested in working with almost any form of writing—fictional manuscripts, nonfictional manuscripts, articles, academic essays and journals, and more. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and I have a lot of relevant experience through my education and my freelancing. I've also acted as a Beta reader, proofreader, and editor for published authors, working with manuscripts ranging from ~10k words to ~200k. I have experience with almost every genre, including fantasy, nonfiction, paranormal, romance, contemporary, historical, memoir, self-help, etc. Outside of editing and proofreading manuscripts, I've worked with academic materials—such as articles, journals, and essays—and I've also done social media posts and websites. In the end, I'm dedicated to assisting other writers with ensuring their work is of the best possible quality, whether that be with grammar and syntax or storytelling elements. I love assisting students and writers of all ages with their progress; I've tutored in English and have graded student work, both K-12 and college-level. I'm familiar with APA, Chicago, AP, and MLA style guides, and I can edit/proofread while adhering to their guidelines. Thank you for taking an interest in my profile! I hope to work together :)
