    I am a published author using the pen names Ariel Paiement and Atlas A. Rose. Please note! The second pen name is not to be confused with Atlas Rose, a different author who writes erotica/steamy romances. I write philosophical/historical fiction under Atlas A. Rose, and the middle initial is crucial if you're trying to view examples of that work on Amazon or Goodreads. The examples of these works are available on the profile to make it easier to avoid the need to search all over for me on Amazon, but I like to point this out up front so those seeking to hire a ghostwriter are not confused about what I do and don't write. Aside from my own works, I have over six years of experience in critiquing and editing for other authors. I specialize in fantasy and creative nonfiction (blogging, biography, essays, etc.), but I can critique and edit many other genres as well. I have a MFA in Composition and English, and I possess a strong foundation in English grammar and punctuation. I am a native speaker. My particular areas of expertise are characterization, sentence and story flow, and grammar. My aim on every ghostwriting project is to provide you with a strong story that needs minimal to no edits beyond basic proofreading and formatting for publication. As my reviews will show, my clients love working with me precisely because I deliver work on time, communicate punctually if there are delays, and provide quality writing. My rates are as follows for ghostwriting: Plotting: .02/word Writing (on my own outline): .015/word Writing (outline provided): .02/word Editing beyond an hour per book: 30/hour I can negotiated on rates down to .015/word, but I cannot work for less, so please don't send interview invites if the highest you'll offer is less than that. Plotting includes unlimited revisions to get the story where you want it before we write off it. I will do edits up to an hour for free as part of my writing fee. Anything beyond that will be charged at the rate of 30/hour, a discount from my usual editing fee since I'm working on my own work and want you to be satisfied. However, I cannot do edits beyond that first hour without a fee since my writing rates don't cover more than the writing and that one hour. My aim on every editing project is to provide you with editing that is coordinated, efficient, and tailored to your manuscript. I love English and helping other writers, and my promise to all of my clients is to provide them with quality feedback that is honest but helpful. An edit from me means that your manuscript will receive every level of editing necessary to polish it into a reader-ready piece. My prices are reflective of what I would charge you for a deep edit, but I assess each job individually. If the work you have asked for is easier than a deep edit, which includes all levels of editing, I will either send a proposal with a lower bid if I'm applying or suggest a lower price in the interview process. As such, the hourly price I have listed is the highest I would charge for any project on an hourly basis. That price covers anywhere from 2-3k on difficult edits to 6-8k on easier edits. I usually bid with a price by the word because very few authors have ever wanted to do hourly, but if you prefer hourly, let me know and we can talk! Prices by word are below, and are based on the average cost for the services as given by the Editorial Freelancers Association (at the-efa.org). Copy editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/ .03 (nonfiction) Developmental editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/.04 (nonfiction) Line editing price per word: .04 Proofreading price per word: .02 For mixed editing types, I offer a by-the-word price based on estimated job difficulty and the types of editing it needs. Without a sample on the job posting, it is difficult to assess these two factors, so I typically default to .03 to .04 cents a word in these cases unless the post description offers me reason to bid lower. Upon completing the sample edit, I may offer the work at a lower price if it falls mostly under one type of editing or is easier to work with than average. I offer sample edits for 1000 words at a flat fee of 20 USD to every editing client as the first milestone so there is no obligation to continue with larger milestones if it turns out we are not a good match for one another. It also allows me to assess the work to give you a more accurate idea of how much I would charge based on actual editing workload per hour. I do not drop below .01/word due to the amount of time and effort comprehensive editing takes. If you are looking to hire for less than the rates above, please look to other freelancers.

    Hello, potential clients! Through the Collegiate Program at my high school, I was able to graduate from Eastern Florida State College before graduating from high school. I was first introduced to creative writing at this college, and I fell in love with it. It inspired me to pursue a degree in English (with a focus on creative writing) at UCF. I particularly enjoyed the fiction-writing and script-writing workshops. In these workshops, I was able to edit other students’ short stories and scripts (usually ten pages long). I checked for proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I also looked for consistency in character dialogue, formatting (for the scripts), and tone in a piece. My main goal is to help your piece of writing become the best that it can be. My love for reading and attention to detail will be of service to you. Whether it is a short story, an essay, a resume, or a PowerPoint presentation, I am here to help make it stronger :). GHOSTWRITING: Need help drafting a novel or screenplay? With your outline, I can turn your notes into a cohesive draft! Note: I do not work with erotica or graphic content (adult content is against Upwork Terms of Service). Feel free to contact me for a quote :). Free sample work is also not allowed. I communicate by Upwork messages only (no video or phone calls). I'm reliable and very prompt; you won't have to wait long for an answer :). I can't wait to work with you!

    When it comes to editing, I generally think of authors as supplying the muscle and I, on the flip side, ensure the connective tissue is in place. A book is like a functioning body--everything has to work together to truly come alive! A solid editor is absolutely invaluable to the writing and publishing grind. They identify where a text needs revision and what parts are working harmoniously. Thinking an in-house publishing editor, or online editing tool, is enough to catch any mistakes in a book is a mistake in itself. Hiring an independent editor ensures that the quality of your book will be rock solid before it hits the physical or digital bookshelves of the world. My work over the years has comprised editing: -Novel-length books (fiction & non-fiction) -Essays, poems, novellas, and short stories -Training/ lesson plans for private and government organizations ...as well as doing beta reads for authors and the film industry. Guiding new or experienced writers to truly discover their voice and flesh out their stories is an absolute joy. Everybody has an interesting story to bring to the table--they sometimes just need help to polish and piece it together. My background in writing and editing, plus my experience as a frontline worker, means I bring a unique perspective to the table. Whether you are looking to clean-up stilted dialogue or ensure the accuracy of scientific details or just figure out where to begin, I've got you covered!

    With three degrees under my belt, a PhD and Master's in Creative Writing as well as a Bachelor's in English Literature, I have a deep understanding of the craft of writing. With my decade plus of experience, I have achieved a high level of mastery over the English language. Here on Upwork, I aim to use those skills to help others tell their stories, whether that means ghostwriting a novel so your killer plot idea springs to life, or simply sharpening the wordplay and catching any errors in your final draft! I have completed jobs here on everything from an edit of an AI Technology book, to Business/Marketing project proofreading, to fantasy novel editing, and even slice-of-life romance script reviews. I’m sure I can help you take your work to the next level. Thank you for considering me for your project!

    I'm a published novelist and poet with additional experience writing for screen and for theater. Usually I am fully booked with long-term assignments, but if your timeline is flexible or you have a short job, please send me a message and we will work out a schedule. I've ghostwritten and edited book-length nonfiction, fiction, and personal memoirs. I can create content independently or work from your outline. I'm a patient researcher and I enjoy the challenge of finding the narrative within any topic. Early in my years of writing encyclopedia entries, I learned to meet deadlines and word counts consistently. Besides novels, short stories, poems, plays, screenplays, and scripts, I've written research articles, personal essays, cultural commentary, music reviews, book reviews, corporate process documents, blogs, biographies, institutional compliance documents, children's rhyming poetry, product descriptions, wedding and birthday poems, speeches, letters, and fortune cookie inserts. I write and read every day.
