I’ve written for Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and A Little Late with Lilly Singh. As well as digital giants like E! News, BuzzFeed, and Bustle. Most recently, I wrote a national commercial and digital series for Major League Soccer starring Issa Rae, blending comedy, cultural storytelling, and branded strategy.

Greetings, friends. Thank you for dropping by. Writing is my passion. It has been since I was old enough to put pen to paper. I would spend hours visualizing characters and plots, and even more writing about their victories, woes, and passions. Paranormal romance is my field of expertise, and I've ghostwritten about 120+ novellas in that genre, and have experience in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, poly/more-than-two, and LGBT (heavy emphasis on the T) romance. My main projects include ghostwriting novels and proofreading content. I typically charge per word for ghostwriting projects with additional fees for outlines and revisions. I write character descriptions, plot outlines, and other various pieces of information prior to writing the novel unless the client provides it. None of my work is generated by AI, and I refuse to work on projects that use AI. No exceptions! I am dedicated to providing unique work on time with little to no need for revisions. However, I do recognize my own human limitations. I will make mistakes -- and so will you! I'm more than happy to make revisions and work with you during every process step. As a disabled person, I will inevitably be delayed by pain flares and will always make you aware of when this happens. I am highly communicative and amiable, so a client will never be uninformed during the writing process. If my profile interests you, please shoot me a message starting with the phrase, "Frankenstein was misunderstood."
