Hello! I'm an adept and reliable editor/writer with several years' worth of experience in creative writing, SEO and content writing, copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. My goal is to eventually end up as the freelance editing/writing equivalent of Kobe Bryant. In other words, someone who is highly efficient, clutch, extremely attentive to detail, and the hardest working! I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's (formerly Ryerson) journalism program with a minor in English. I've written extensively for the National Post, Bloomberg, The Ryersonian, Yonge Magazine, The EyeOpener, Huffington Post, and several other publications. I also served as head Deputy Editor/Head Copyeditor at The Ryersonian, and for two years I operated as Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Yonge Magazine, a successful online multimedia platform. My short fiction can be found online at STORGY Magazine, in Sixfold's Summer 2023 Issue, and in the Muskeg Press collection of short stories entitled, "Influenced: Stories From the Lockdown." My skills include editing anything and everything (from textbooks to short stories, SEO content to graduate theses), copyediting, copywriting, proofreading, line editing, general/substantive editing, unique fiction writing, ghostwriting, writing editorial content on a variety of topics (film, television, music, sports, food, travel, health, SEO content, etc.), and researching and fact-checking. My main goal on Upwork is to help you create the most polished and creative product imaginable. So, if you're a fiction writer looking to take your manuscript to the next level, a content creator in need of some final last-minute touches on a blog post, or someone who needs an inspired and highly imaginative writer to deliver on some professional editorial/fiction pieces, then I'm the man for the job!

Hi friends! I'm Ethan. A queer, trans, and very goth writer specializing in fantasy and romance fiction. As a writer, I'm versatile, passionate, and experienced in crafting romance fiction across multiple subgenres. My client work is typically trope-driven, engaging, and high heat. When I'm not working on one of my countless manuscripts, I can be found reading. I currently work full time as a romance ghostwriter and self published author. Though I mainly work in fiction now, I also have extensive experience in SEO content writing, copywriting, scriptwriting, and scoial media content. I've been a freelancer for four years, so I have an incredibly dynamic skillset. I love all things romance (dark, wholesome, mafia, taboo, romantasy) fantasy (gothic, epic, dark, whimsical) sci fi, horror, and everything in between. Hit me up if you need a ghostwriter, proofreader, or editor for your next fiction project!

I write words that tell your non-fiction story. If you don't have the time or the ability to do that, I can help. I don't work in hourly rates, so don't assume that hiring me means writing me a blank cheque. You'll know exactly what it will cost, and I'll show you how much it will be worth to you. I've demonstrated hundreds of thousands of dollars in value to my clients. You could be next. By the way, I have a dream to write a book similar in style to David Blaine's book in 2002 that leads to a hidden treasure. If that interests you, I would work for free with you. It's as simple as that. If you have a non-fiction story to tell, a feature you want to brag about, or a goal in mind, and you want actual humans to read, enjoy, and take a specific action, let's chat. Feel free to ask about my incredible family pancake recipe as well. I won't give it to you, but you can always ask. It's pretty amazing.

Since a young age, I have loved bringing stories to life. It is said that when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. I am a firm believer in this policy. The story or article that I am writing for you is never work. The work is not something I feel like I have to do. Instead, the story or article I am writing for you is something I want to do. Throughout the last year, I have worked with over two hundred clients on fiction and nonfiction projects alike. My fiction writing specialties include: - Contemporary Fiction - Romance - Fantasy - Historical Fiction - Science Fiction Though these are the areas I prefer to write in, I am comfortable with most genres. My nonfiction writing specialties include: - Blog posts - Interest pieces - Research papers - Biographies - Memoirs When it comes to the length of the writing piece, I am comfortable with a wide range. I have worked on stories that range from less than a thousand words to stories that are over one hundred thousand words. I enjoy working with clients on the outline of the project if it is not already formed. If clients have an outline, I will work from that and continue to build upon the ideas they already have. With my writing, clients will see their stories come to life. My services are completely confidential. I will never lay any claim to the work I do for my clients.

I write and create content for a variety of clients in a number of different contexts. In fact, there is very little business, legal, or creative writing I do not do, and do well. When I am on the job, assignments are completed with faultless professionalism. Deadlines are always met, communication is regular and detailed, and my fees are fair for the quality of work I provide. I am professionally cordial in demeanor and easy to work with. If I may, let me outline my background, then turn to specific areas of expertise. Practicing law, writing/creating/presenting content, leading teams, hiring, on-boarding, and managing day-to-day employer-employee/union relations defined the lion's share of the work I did when employed full-time. As a freelancer, I have a litigation attorney's training and experience organizing, summarizing, and presenting, both in writing and orally, complex and often contradictory information. I am expertly transform specialized information requiring technical knowledge into plain, east-to-understand English without distortion or over-simplification. An exceedingly quick study, under pressure for high stakes is an environment with which I have years of experience and in which I thrive. I am a published, award-winning, short fiction writer. Everything I write is invariably creative, drawing the reader in and keeping her engaged as the story moves along. (All writing should tell a story, even the most technical). I copyedit/prepare for publication autobiographies, biographies, non-fiction, business, and self-help manuscripts. Having written a novel myself, I am also available to ghostwrite just about anything (although I might not be the best choice to ghostwrite your romance novel). I have mastered MS Office (primarily, Word and PowerPoint, but Excel, as well) and all the Google Workspace apps. If you prefer, I am also more than familiar with the LibreOffice and FreeOffice suites of apps. Drafting, reviewing, and consulting with respect to contracts or legal correspondence you may have received (a claim against you or the dreaded “lawyer’s letter”) are areas where I am particularly well-suited to provide professional services. With respect specifically to contracts, if you require someone who understands all the implications, including the boilerplate clauses, of a contract you or your company is being asked to sign, or to review/redraft an existing contract template, I provide top-level service. If you find yourself in the midst of a dispute concerning the language of a contract to which you are already party, or if you wish to end a contract with minimal liability, I am available to give advice. Please note, however, that should the circumstances call for it, I will encourage you to formally retain counsel in your jurisdiction. My skills and experience permit me to comprehend the law in all English-speaking jurisdictions and to conduct legal research as required. I have an extraordinary eye for detail. Relentless describes my approach to asking questions about the context of a document I am drafting or reviewing. To ensure that my client's interests are fully protected and advanced, my goal is always to ensure that I do not fall into the “I didn’t know what I didn’t know” trap. US immigration law is an area in which I have specific and wide-ranging experience. I routinely draft briefs, letters of support, petitioner's statements, and related correspondence to the USCIS in support of the clients of the law firms for which I freelance. My skills as a general business, marketing, and SEO content writer (articles, blogs, FAQs) are also at the highest possible level. I write effectively in almost any context a company might require. When I practiced law, I crafted all of my firm’s important legal opinion letters because my writing was always easy to understand and persuasive. As mentioned above - it bears repeating - retooling technically specialized or complex material so that it is accessible to a wide audience is one of my notable strengths. I have specific experience writing business plans and related PowerPoint presentations. I am seeking general business and creative writing assignments and writing assignments related to legal matters, including contract drafting/reviewing/negotiating.
