    BUSINESS ☽ CREATIVE ☾ ACADEMIC ► Content editing — big picture attention to style, structure, and story-telling elements. ► Line editing — focused attention to word choice, clarity, pacing, and flow. ► Proofreading — ensuring flawless punctuation and grammar, and that your final product is properly formatted and free from typos. If you need a second pair of eyes (and let's be honest—who doesn't?), I'm here to help. Whether your project is business or personal, academic or non-academic, fiction or non-fiction, I will improve its readability while maintaining your original voice and intent. My background is in academia (PhD, Political Theory, 2018), and I have 15+ years of highly varied professional experience as an editor. Past projects I've been hired for include novels, memoirs, short stories, children’s books, website copy, journal articles, marketing materials, textbooks, financial literacy blogs, and a series of books on personal wellness, just to name a few. ————— I am available to those who need a quick turnaround on a single project, as well as to those who are interested in building a long-term relationship with an editor who they can trust. I also have experience helping independent authors self-publish through Kindle Direct Publishing (which distributes e-books, paperbacks, and hard covers). If you want, I can see your manuscript through all aspects of the formatting and uploading process.

    Hi there, I'm Anna! A professional writer and copy editor for over 7 years, and video editor for 6 years, I am excited to help with your needs. My portfolio ranges from short-form creative projects like 'Letters from Santa' to SEO-driven articles, profiles, and newsletters. A frequent ghostwriter, I, unfortunately, cannot share all of my favorite pieces, but you can find much of my recent work on Sandiego.com, OHSCanada.com, A-Z Animals, and Choosing Nutrition. In addition to writing, I often edit existing blog pieces and articles to have higher-ranking SEO attributes while ensuring they flow and keep readers engaged. I've worked with short-form videos like Reels and TikToks, as well as travel vlogs, podcast cuts, and even full-length documentaries. You can find examples of my work on my website under 'Contract Work' or on my UpWork portfolio. I look forward to working with you!

    Experience in journalism + special education isn't as divergent as it sounds. It makes for a unique set of skills that are ideal for projects requiring a high level of attention to detail and strong written communication. So what's that mean? *As someone with freelance writing experience, I'm well aware that I may need to mold my voice to fit a project. I can do that. I've written nonfiction articles across the genres, but with a particular emphasis on health, tourism, marketing, local politics, education, and the occasional dog wedding. *As someone with a growing portfolio of copywriting experience, particularly in the niche areas of B2B, tourism, marketing, real estate and health/wellness, I'm ready to not only fit my writing to the tone of your business, but create copy that is easy-to-read, SEO-friendly, and optimized for the web. *As someone with teaching experience, particularly in the field of special education, I have patience for days, and an attention to detail unparalleled by those who have never worked in fields where there's a constant fear of being sued. *As someone with staff writing and editing experience, I thrive on deadlines, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and accuracy. *And, as a lover of words and all things grammar, I take great pride in making a piece of work the best it can be, whether that's my own or a client's. This is all very intriguing, right? By the way, if you're looking for a lighter touch, I'm also the creator of a humor and travel blog of my own. This may not mean much to you, but it has forced me to become well-versed in SEO strategies and the idea of marketing myself as a brand, two areas I'm happy to provide support in as well. If you feel like I'm a good fit for your project, message me!

    I’m a creative copywriter currently working in the ad industry. I do all things word-related i.e. writing tons of headlines, scripts for tv commercials, digital videos, and radio, crafting brand manifestos, and writing website and social post copy. I generate ideas too. Big ideas. Prior to ad land, I spent a handful of years writing and performing comedy. I studied at the Second City Conservatory, was a regular in the stand-up scene of Chicago, and toured nationally as a company member with the physical theatre company, Theater Unspeakable. As an artist and illustrator, I paint custom pet portraits that highlight the many things that make up a person’s world and create digital portraits of pets and people. My intuition guides my maximalist and object-based style.

    Top Skills: PROOFREADING/EDITING (essays, manuscripts, online content, etc.) SCREENPLAY/SCRIPT EDITING (TV scripts, feature screenplays, and shorts) COPYEDITING (articles, blog posts, marketing material, etc.) My excellent writing skills and grasp of language arts stem from my undergraduate education in an honors program where I studied humanities and literature. Earning all A's in law school writing classes, drafting hundreds of legal documents, and writing award-winning teleplays and feature-length screenplays have caused my sharp grammar skills to become second nature. I have an eagle eye for proofreading and editing and am familiar with several word processing programs and marketing funnels, including Word, Google Docs, Final Draft, Fade In, Stripo, Buffer, and Pagefly. I'm happy to provide deliverables that either show or don't show my revisions; my clients can choose one way or receive both! I have written and edited two novels--the first two volumes in THE TEDDY BEAR CHRONICLES crime thriller series for adults. I am comfortable with proofreading/editing both short and lengthy written materials. Furthermore, I am a former English tutor... I have four years of experience teaching students of all ages excellent grammar and proofreading skills. They all substantially improved their grades while working with me. It was a wonderful experience to see them succeed. Lastly, I proofread and edited my scripts, which have earned high praise (winner, finalist, nominee, and semi-finalist) in several film festivals and contests between 2019 and 2023, including Underground Indie Film Festival, Burbank International FF, Big Apple, HollyShorts, Flicker's Rhode Island, Hollywood Horrorfest, and Fade In Awards. I'd love to help you make your writing work shine!

My job is to help you navigate this challenge and tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience, keeps them engaged, and leaves them wanting more. To do this, I work directly alongside my clients to understand their wants, needs, and aspirations, as well as those of their audience, to deliver personalized & impactful messages. I pride myself on being a writer who's responsive to client needs, extremely timely & organized, and delivers nothing less than a perfect product, no exceptions.

I've worked for a professional book publisher, where I received a masterclass in all things editorial. When I left that job to break into the digital publishing world, I continued freelance copyediting for other professional publishers. The bottom line? I understand how to edit not only all sorts of text but also my own writing. Here's more of what I'll bring to your project: - Diverse Experience: From writing press releases and magazine articles to editing nonfiction books to producing SEO-driven website copy, I've written and edited all sorts of copy and content. - A Proven Track Record: While working as a freelance blogger, the website I was building up went from 0 visitors per month to 3k+ visitors per month, regularly generating tens of thousands of dollars in revenue. - Passionate Storyteller: I'm an avid reader and podcast listener, always exploring new and engaging narratives. Let me show you how I can transform your ideas into compelling copy that attracts and converts customers.

My clients include Fortune 500 executive coaches and consultants, Inc. 5000 CEOs and founders, household name celebrities, regular contributors to top-of-industry websites like Forbes and KevinMD, small business owners, and ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. While I provide services to CEOs and celebrities, I also strive to keep my services accessible to small businesses and ordinary people. My prices for full book production including ghostwriting and publishing range from $3,000-$10,000, and I believe based on years of working with various publishers that my services are the best in my accessible price range. I know that everyone has at least one book in them, and personal and family memoirs are near and dear to my heart. My most unique background as a writer is that I also have a strong background in science and medicine, including five years' experience coordinating clinical research and a B. S. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan. I have assisted physician-scientists, physician-entrepreneurs, healthcare companies, and biohackers with publicity and educational books for this reason.
