You’ve got the bones of a story. I bring the scalpel—and the spark. Let’s make something that bleeds, aches, and lingers. I’m a professional ghostwriter and editor who lives for stories that haunt and seduce. From blood-soaked kingdoms to twisted romances, I specialise in tales that cut deep and stay sharp. Genres I carve best: Dark & Epic Fantasy Horror with Heart Romance (especially the kind with teeth) With a background in English education, a bookshelf of ghostwritten titles, and an editor’s sixth sense for what makes a story land, I do more than clean up your words—I make them matter. What I offer: Ghostwriting – Novels, novellas, short fiction Line & Copy Editing – Flow, clarity, tone that bites Story Coaching – Beats, arcs, pacing that leaves a mark Manuscript Polishing – When it’s nearly there but still missing the magic I work fast. I go deep. And I only take on projects I believe in. If you’re looking for someone who understands the pulse of dark fiction and knows how to amplify your voice—I’m ready. Let’s take your story from almost-there to unforgettable.

Hey, my name is Ailina. I'm 32 years old, did an apprenticeship as a real estate agent, and worked many years as an accountant. Then I started studying. During my studies of Applied Leisure Sciences B.A. I was able to learn and deepen various things, including business administration and management in tourism, marketing/e-marketing, media studies, creative writing, law, psychology and sociology, tourism policy, etc. Since 2022 I work as a proofreader/editor, copy and ghostwriter, and translator. At first for someone else, and since summer 2023 finally on my own. I have a passion for proofreading and editing books, articles, websites and other texts for spelling, grammatical and stylistic errors. Even during my studies, I helped many fellow students to correct their academic work. My clients particularly appreciate my eye for detail, my logical thinking—especially when it comes to the common thread in books—and my sense of style. I especially enjoy editing books and giving translated texts a natural German touch, so they read as if they had originally been written by a German author. Over the past years, I have worked on Hannah Shield’s Bennett Security series (right now I'm working on her next series for the German market) as well as several books by Anna Hackett and also on a book by David Penny. I͏ h͏ave already written͏ a w͏ide range of t͏exts, ͏i͏ncluding landing pages, blog posts and e-c͏o͏mmerce conten͏t (produc͏t and category descrip͏tions). This ͏experien͏ce has a͏llo͏wed me to gain vers͏at͏ile skills and professi͏ona͏lize t͏he quality of my wo͏rk. SEO optimizatio͏n i͏s also n͏o pro͏b͏l͏em f͏or me͏, so I͏ am well͏-versed i͏n creatin͏g effective͏ conten͏t͏ for vario͏us ͏platfor͏ms. In 2021 I did an exchange semester in Finland, and am traveling basically since then the world. Consequently, I understand English pretty well and can translate it into perfect German because this is my first language. I know all grammar rules and I know what to pay attention to.

Native German and English speaker (BA in Communication, Politics & Law, Mainz), working as a translator, editor, and writer for over 15 years — the last decade based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. What I actually do: • German↔English translation — marketing copy, business documents, educational and instructional content, full-length books • Editing & proofreading — line edits, structural edits, manuscript review for fiction and nonfiction • Ghostwriting & content writing — articles, books, and copy that sound like you, not like a template • Full book packaging — I've taken projects from raw manuscript to finished product: research, structure, writing and rewriting, layout, cover design. One recent example: rewriting a dense German academic text on solar heat pumps into clear, consumer-friendly language for a general audience. Background in journalism and PR in Germany before relocating to Thailand — I bring a journalist's instinct for clarity and a native speaker's ear for what actually reads right, in either language. Available 20+ hours/week, flexible across time zones. Rates negotiable by project scope.
