I'm an expert in English Literature, European History, Art History, and Ancient Civilizations. I have recently obtained my PhD in English Literature, with a focus on the Gothic and its relations to psychiatry and art history. Over the past four year I have been working on my personal projects in literature, history and fashion design. I’ve been divulging my work through the website Academia.edu with a very positive response from people across different fields of the Humanities, and a couple of my essays have been used in Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, North Carolina, as case studies. My unique combination of technical expertise, creative ability, and experience managing projects and teams, editing and selling, makes me the ideal candidate to help you with this project. I am used to deadlines, pressure and high workloads, which I believe to be essential in any writing or editorial field. I work as a freelance editor for Casemate Publishers in the military history department, which has further developed my organisational skills, diligence and attention to detail. My successful achievements within the department have earned me more projects across other areas, namely the ancient history department. Having also been a ghost writer, means I have unique focus and am able to adapt to every task I’m presented with, resulting in a versatile set of skills and work ethics. I am a fast learner and a versatile writer. I've been writing content for different types of magazines, business websites and blogs for 8 years. I'm an expert in English Literature, European History, Art History, and Ancient Civilizations. I've also achieved certifications in Bid Writing, Digital Marketing, SEO, and Adobe Photoshop.Fiction WritingBlog WritingSEO WritingContent WritingBook EditingAcademic EditingEssay WritingEditing & ProofreadingAcademic WritingArticle WritingProofreadingEnglishCopywritingCopy EditingSearch Engine Optimization - $55 hourly

Writing copy to engage your prospects can be tricky. You're trying to evoke an emotional response to get them to a point where they either - ➡️keep reading ➡️sign up or ➡️buy your product. A knowledge of human psychology is, at best, helpful. But to truly understand your client and engage with them on a psychical level, in depth insight into your prospect is prerequisite to connecting and keeping that engagement. This is where I can help you. With my experience as a Psychotherapist, I can aim your copy using that knowledge. ● People buy with emotion, they justify their purchase later. It is essential that you understand how this simple fact applies to your copy in being able to move your prospect. Having spent hours with a diverse group of clients, I am well versed in the emotional needs and the demands of the ego. They want higher status, to experience clarity, and an elevated quality of life - your product needs to do this for them to buy. Your copy needs to convey this in a simple, clear and relatable way. I know that may seem like a tall order, but with the right copy, intricate persuasive language, and the deep knowledge of your clients' needs, it is possible. As well as spending several years in a therapists' chair, I have also written three novels of approx 80,000 words each. Apart from the book cover, (which I wisely left to the professionals), I wrote, edited, proofread and formatted them myself. All of which have 5 star reviews on Amazon. I also wrote the copy for my own business website along with Google and FaceBook ads and have edited other writers work and helped them with their copy. And, I have written several screenplays. Having received positive feedback, I am working hard to get them optioned. I love words and I love writing, resulting in authentic, engaging and relatable copy. If this is something you want for your own copy, I would love to see what I can do for you. Stay safe in these strange times.Fiction WritingCopywritingScreenwritingEditing & ProofreadingSales WritingBook WritingGhostwritingScriptwritingOnline WritingBlog WritingEbook Writing - $66 hourly

Lovely to connect! I am the best-selling author of over seventy fiction titles for children and Young Adults, published in more than twenty languages and selling well over a million copies worldwide. I love to work on writing (incl. ghostwriting) and editing projects across fiction, narrative non-fiction, script writing, books, blogs, e-books, articles and website content creation. Interviewing you or your clients, handling transcription and creating Golden Business Card books for your wellbeing or coaching business is a speciality. So is ghostwriting, helping you craft and structure, and/or editing your children's and spirituality books. Let's make your writing and publishing dreams a reality! As I'm experienced as an author mentee too so I could be a good fit for you if you'd like a hybrid service - for example, to try writing all or some of your own book but with support and guidance (emotionally as well as technically!). You may want to explore co-writing or need more intense help with structure, exploration of their key messages, what they want to share with the world etc. I bring my skills as an intuitive guide and energy healing facilitator to this process too, if invited, as creative work is such a holistic process! I have a special interest in self-help, wellbeing, coaching and empowerment projects particularly in relation to women or young people/children, breathwork, mindfulness, embodied awareness and quantum consciousness (and all the new science!). I have over twenty years experience as a pro writer and editor in the areas of wellbeing, holistic living, coaching, spirituality, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, NDEs, writing for children and finding and telling soul-led brand story. I also have a marketing background (see below for details), so while we work on your book, we'll always have your whole IP and brand in our minds and hearts too. We'll work with an eye and ear on the through line to market. I am the founder of Soulsparks, a soul-led online wellbeing platform offering energy healing, intuitive guidance, breathwork and creative mentorship. I've recently created the Soulsparks Toolkit, a video, audio and PDF resource to guide people into mindfulness, awareness, peace, clarity and harmony. I'm quick, creative and skilled at creating websites in Squarespace and PDF / SM resources in Canva. I have worked for Happy Living.com across books, blogs and marketing content, worked in brand marketing as a WPP Fellow and copywriter under the personal mentorship of industry legend Jeremy Bullmore. I've also written and edited a marketing book project with Emeritus Professor of Marketing and Management at London Business School, Patrick Barwise, and created captions and subtitles in Premiere Pro for a women's football film commissioned by FIFA. I'm currently creating a book of clients' stories for a top divorce coach, all the way from client interviews to final proofread and e-book creation. I'd love to connect if you feel we might be a good match! All the very best, and go create!

My services include writing and editing, fiction and nonfiction, short articles to full length books. I offer high-quality work based on years of experience. I'm reliable, unflappable and an all-round jolly nice person. But more importantly, I can write what you want, how you want it for when you want it. I won’t be beaten by a deadline and can spot details at a hundred paces. And I thrive on doing large projects that start in a state of confusion and need serious whipping into shape. Originality is a given. And what I write is in grammatically correct English (you can let me know what sort of correct English you prefer – British or American style). It's also entertaining to read and won't send you to sleep. However, if for some odd reason you want text that makes peoples’ eyelids droop, I’ll try my best to help you. The following is only a brief summary of the work I do and have done. If what you need doesn’t quite fit with what I’ve written, feel free to contact me anyway. I may be able to help. Whether it’s a teeny-tiny task you need a quick hand with or you’re looking for someone to commit to a few months working on a book (or anything in between), let’s talk! If it makes you happy, you can simply hand over the details of your task and I'll get on with it. For larger projects, I'll send you a brief weekly update. Or if you're an anxious person who likes to be kept informed of what's going on at every stage, that's fine too. I can be flexible in my approach so you don't have to be. *** Services include: Writing and ghost-writing I can write copy based on your brief, notes or rough draft. My work has ranged from articles through white papers to complete books. A brief glance at my profile and on Amazon will show many of the books that have been published under my own name. I have over twenty years of experience and am a member of the National Union of Journalists. In addition to my work here, I have been published in newspapers and magazines both in the UK and overseas, including having written feature columns in magazines for several years. I've worked for individual clients, government departments (including HMRC), SMEs and large businesses. Editing and proofreading I don’t simply churn out corrections to typos and call that ‘editing’. I seek to help you to enhance your writing on all levels – while retaining your voice – and I am very, very good at what I do. I offer proofreading, copy and content editing, and developmental editing. Although I’ve worked on a wide range of material, my specialties include: Non-fiction: History; biography/autobiography; mind, body, spirit; self-help texts; metaphysical; occult; astrology. I have had three historical biographies published under my own name and have written dozens of articles on occult and spiritualist history. I am a qualified astrologer and was President of the Astrological Lodge of London for twelve years. Not only can I write horoscope columns that will make you wriggle with delight, I have extensive experience in writing about all astrology-related subjects and have lectured on the subject in the UK and overseas, as well as appearing on numerous radio and TV shows as an astrologer. I've also ghostwritten numerous books on these subjects and others. Fiction: Romance; historical; fantasy; young adult; science fiction; children’s fiction. I have had two novels published under my own name (both historical fantasy) and have ghostwritten many more. I have published several of my own books via Amazon and Lightning Source and can help you if your intention is to self-publish. And I can lay out your text for print and for Kindle. *** And if you've read this far, I'm really looking forward to hearing from you.

As a qualified teacher I love to write in a way that fosters a sense of adventure, a love of learning and a sense of wonder.
