I enjoy collaboration and have been able to mentor and work with several young writers over the years.

    I have been working as a freelancer for more than 20 years. As a writer I am intuitive at translating your thoughts and ideas into solid prose; you give me the key concepts, I'll give you articulate and persuasive content that expresses exactly what you mean. I have a loyal roster of clients who come to me again and again for this type of help. As a ghostwriter, I've received praise for being professional, easy to work with, and for consistently delivering high-quality content. I am highly organized and am willing to tackle complicated projects. My special talent is working with authors, either collaborating to create original content or editing and adapting existing content for a new audience. I have significant experience working with novelists and screenwriters. It has been my pleasure to work with hundreds of clients from all walks of life during the past two decades. I've assisted ministers and marketed tribute bands, administrated a non-profit, and kept family law attorneys organized. I've crafted marketing material for a microscope salesman and authored an installation manual for floating harbor barriers. I'm an ace at business correspondence and I love to craft "book blurbs"!

    Actively looking to fill one opening on my roster (long-term preferred but not required) I have 15 years of experience in ghostwriting and editing in a variety of fiction genres (sci-fi, western, gen and lit fic) as well as nonfiction work, with an emphasis on history and theology. The majority of my fiction work has been in Westerns and detective stories, but if you've got a good idea, I'm always on board. I studied American Lit and Professional Editing at the graduate level, so I'm always ready to take on a client as a coach, or proofer, or even just a sounding board. Rates are always negotiable per project and, depending on the week, rush work is available occasionally. Nearly all of my ghostwriting work has become a top 10-genre novel and I'd love to help you accomplish the same. Even if you're just in the thinking stage, please don't hesitate to reach out and say hello. I'm one of those people who just love stories and would enjoy hearing about yours. Contact for samples, discussion, and more information. Chats and project discussions are always free. *Please bear in mind that the hourly rate is rarely how I work, so it's basically a place-holder and we can discuss*

    Hello! I’m Aaron, an experienced writer and editor. Whether you are trying to sell a product, write a book, edit your own written words, or optimize for search engines, I have the experience to steer your goals to fruition! I have written professionally for the US Marine Corps, where I created training documents, crafted full courses, and penned operations instructions. My writing was intended for various audiences and often for over 1,000 recipients. Later, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Geology, where I performed significant technical research and writing. Many of my electives included creative writing, journalism, and academic writing. I worked as a teacher at the university, creating educational documents and presentations. After university, I wrote for corporate development to create training programs, safety policies, and converted wordy government regulations into easily understood documents. I created holistic documentation for compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, including all transportation management and drug/alcohol testing. For sales, I performed copywriting and webwriting for several years, increasing the company's sales and outreach. More recently, I have written four books. Three have been published, and the fourth is soon to be. At the same time, I have been creating outreach documents for an international NGO, recording interviews, and documenting the war in Ukraine. With wide-reaching experience, I am ready and eager to help you see your written dreams come true. I am always happy to help and look forward to meeting you! Thank you for reading my profile, and please do not hesitate to ask me anything! Aaron

    I have always had a passion for reading and writing; as a small child, I asked “Santa” for a typewriter, and I have been writing ever since. Professionally, I have been freelance writing since March of 2018. In this time I have written four novellas, several non-fiction e-books, and multiple articles for lifestyle, health and fitness, education, and home improvement websites. I have written one novel, which is in the final revision stage, self-published a children's book, and started a second novel. I am an avid reader, which makes me an excellent writer and editor, both for my own work and the work of others. My love of reading helps me create relatable characters and realistic plots when writing. I have a keen eye for detail and possess the ability to spot errors easily; therefore, I thoroughly proofread my work before submitting. I can provide fiction and non-fiction writing samples upon request. Thank you for considering me for your project, and I look forward to working with you.

    You want to: ✅ Develop the perfect message ✅ Reach your target audience ✅ Compel them to take action That's where this trusted copywriter comes into play. Over the past 15 years, notable brands such as Verizon Media, NASA, and MD Anderson—along with numerous SMBs across multiple industries—have trusted me to strategize and craft the perfect curation of words to achieve the results they were seeking. What kind of results? ⇊ I've helped by clients by: 🏅 Garnering ~$750,000 in program funding for a NASA internal IT incubator by delivering an extensive, compelling report of nearly 40 high-impact agency projects funded across the U.S. 🏅 Increasing revenue by 30% year over year (despite a 6% lower open rate) for a software developer’s sales launch of its companion product by devising tailored email marketing copy 🏅 Achieving 95 1st-page Google SERP rankings + several #1-#3 spots for a SaaS client’s target keywords through insight-filled, SEO-infused article content 🏅 Jump-starting a consulting firm's lead generation efforts from 0 to 13 B2B leads in just a few days by crafting enticing ad and landing page copy and lead magnet content 🏅 Enabling 100+ crew members to operate and maintain $1M+ drilling equipment, avoiding personal injury and extending equipment life And I can do the same for your business. How? It's in my approach. I like to say I'm a thinker first 🧠 and copywriter second 🖊️ because creating compelling copy requires a heck of a lot of thought. After all, words have a significant impact on the way people think and perceive the world around them—from products and services to people and relationships—which naturally influences the actions they take. Understanding this psychology, and combining it with the ability to immerse myself in the audience, is how I create compelling copy that speaks directly to their needs and desires. And that copy inspires happy clients to share feedback like this... ⇊ ❝Brandon is our most trusted copywriter. We trust him with our biggest, most important copy requests and he delivers each time. Not only is he a talented writer and easy to work with, but his copy converts. You really can't ask for more in a writer and we look forward to working with him again.❞ - Email campaign manager, business software company | Project: Email campaigns | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❝If you want to be told you're the best, Brandon might not be your ideal expert. However, if you want to *be* the best, there is no better option. Do not hesitate. [He] is the real deal.❞ - Founder, admissions essay editing company | Project: Web copy for 6-page website | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❝Brandon was wonderful to work with. I was impressed with how quickly he grasped [our] industry and was able to ask intelligent questions that made the final product outstanding.❞ - Director of marketing, payments consulting firm | Project: Compelling case study | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❝Brandon is one of the best freelancers I have had the opportunity to work with and would highly recommend. Since our first call, he has been extremely responsive, timely in his submissions and thoughtful in his [outreach] to our clients.❞ - Project manager, financial services information company | Project: Copywriting for fintech company profiles | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are countless other examples of happy clients (just check my work history), but we both know you're convinced if you've made it this far, right? Right. So here's my call to action for you... ⇊ Don't take the unnecessary chance on someone who's just a "good writer" because they're cheaper. It WILL cost you, financially and mentally. Make sure you're partnering with an experienced, successful copywriter who knows how to develop the perfect message, every time—and deliver ON time. ⏰ So if you're ready to... ✅ STOP scrolling through copy & paste Upwork proposals ✅ STOP throwing away your limited budget on words that don't move the needle ✅ STOP hiring overextended copywriters who deliver work that's late and, frankly, mid Then work with me. It'll be the BEST marketing decision you make this year, I promise. 👋🏽 Invite me to your project. ✉️ Send me a message. 😮 Or just make me an offer if you're really gutsy.

    I'm a self-published author with 148 books under my belt from the last 3 years. Half of those have been for various ghost-writing clients, most of them repeat jobs. I'm well versed in world-building and have a vivid imagination and good diction. I type extremely fast and can pull together a 50-80K novel in three days time easily. Almost all of my ghost projects have ranked in the best seller categories on Amazon and iBooks consistently getting 4.6-4.8 stars with over 100 reviews. I charge based off of word count, not the time invested. My rate is $12c/word, which includes plotting, writing and having the story professionally edited by my in-house editor. I'm also a plotter, and regularly take a sentence provided by my clients and construct a full, detailed (chapter by chapter) plot to assist in their ghost writing businesses. I've written 165 plots to date, and they range from 20K word stories to 80K word stories. The plots include character descriptions, locations, plot points and full directives for your ghost writers.

    For the last 25 years I have worked as a professional writer in many different formats, fictional and non-fictional. I have been a journalist and copywriter, a ghostwriter of novels and an award-winning screenwriter. I also have my own presence as a novelist with 9 novels published under my own name, which have sold tens of thousands of copies. Besides working as a writer, I have spent much of the last 15 years as a creative development executive in the film and TV industry, involved in the production and coordination of various assets related to project development and marketing. Finally, I am a generative AI expert, especially in the use of Midjourney and a variety of AI video generation tools. I have used my abilities in this area to create gripping pitch decks that bring a project concept to life. I have also integrated this work with compositing in Photoshop in order to adapt screenplays into graphic novels. If you need a writer, designer, creative development consultant or project lead, I can be a real asset to your team and your project. I'm happy to set up a meeting to discuss your needs and how I might be able to contribute to your project's success.

    I've been a ghostwriter for 6 years and have written dozens of books for my clients. My focus is romance, and I can write in any subgenre you'd like. I've written contemporary, fantasy, paranormal, and science fiction, to name a few. I can write anything from clean romance to erotica and everything in between. I work quickly and provide the highest quality product possible. I can write novels, novellas, or short stories. As a ghostwriter, my priority is bringing your vision to life. I want to create something that you'll be proud to put your name on. When working with me, you'll receive the following: -A detailed outline (unless you provide one for me to use). -A completed first draft manuscript that is 100% original content and meets the word count you have requested. -Discretion. I will never share your name or penname and everything I write belongs to you. Therefore, no part of the content will be shared as a sample of my work in the future. -Regular communication and updates on the project. -A positive and professional attitude that welcomes all feedback. I also have samples of my writing style available upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Ghost Writer Hiring Guide

What is a ghost writer?

A ghost writer is a professional writer who creates content—like books, articles, or speeches—on behalf of someone else. Unlike a co-author, the ghostwriter remains behind the scenes, and their work is often published without a byline. Ghostwriting services are widely used by entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and individuals who need high-quality content but lack the time, writing skills, or expertise to craft it themselves.

Ghostwriting spans various formats, including nonfiction books, fiction books, social media content, and even magazine articles. Professional ghostwriting is particularly valuable for complex writing projects like business books, self-help guides, and book proposals that require a polished writing style and deep subject knowledge.

Why hire a ghost writer?

Hiring a ghostwriter provides access to quality writing and professional expertise. Whether you’re publishing a self-help book or a fiction book, the best ghostwriters can help streamline the writing process, ensure your content meets high standards, and align it with your vision.

Ghostwriting services are ideal for individuals aiming to self-publish on platforms like Kindle or Amazon or for those pursuing traditional publishing with the hope of landing on bestseller lists like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. By hiring a professional, you also benefit from revisions, proofreading, and insights into effective book cover designs that enhance your content’s marketability.

How to hire ghostwriters

Hiring a ghostwriter for your ghostwriting project can be simple when approached with a plan. Follow these steps to find the right professional for your needs:

  • Identify your goals. Define the scope of your ghostwriting work, including the type of content (e.g., business book, fiction book, social media posts), target audience, and desired word count.
  • Create a job post. Write a detailed post on Upwork, specifying the type of ghostwriting services you need, the writing style, and any project requirements, such as SEO-friendly content or a book proposal.
  • Evaluate providers. Look for ghostwriters with a proven track record of producing high-quality, ghostwritten content. Check portfolios for experience in your niche and platforms like LinkedIn for additional client feedback.
  • Interview candidates. Discuss your goals, timeline, and expectations during interviews to ensure the ghostwriter understands your project.
  • Finalize terms. Agree on a flat fee or payment structure that includes deliverables such as revisions, proofreading, and additional services like cover designs.
  • Start the writing process. Use tools like Upwork’s collaboration features to maintain clear communication throughout your project.

How to write a ghost writer job post

Crafting a clear and detailed job post helps attract the best ghostwriters for your project. Here’s how to do it:

  • Describe your project. Include details about the type of ghostwriting work (e.g., book ghostwriting or magazine articles), expected word count, and your target audience.
  • Outline expectations. Specify if you need additional services like SEO optimization, proofreading, revisions, or guidance on book proposals and self-publishing.
  • State your timeline. Provide a realistic deadline for the writing process to help candidates determine if they can meet your needs.
  • Request writing samples. Ask for examples of ghostwritten content, especially in your niche, such as self-help or business books.

Common ghostwriting services

Ghostwriting services cover a variety of writing projects tailored to different needs. Below are some of the most common services provided by professional ghostwriters:
