    I am a writer, editor, and proofreader with experience working in fiction and non-fiction, as well as research, essays, blog posts, short stories, books, etc. I have always had a love of literature, a talent for writing, and a knack for finding and correcting those ticky-tacky errors. During my college career, I interned with a publishing company, and I recently had the opportunity to freelance copy edit and proofread a non-fiction book.

    I'm passionate about writing and contributing to projects that need high quality content. My goal in every project is to create deliverables that exceed client expectations, as well as drive the overall success of the project. The written word is a powerful tool that can be leveraged to accomplish everything from informing consumers to driving societal changes. Because of that, I work in a variety of topics, taking advantage of the learning that comes with each assignment. My primary emphasis as a freelancer is on writing, although I do still accept art and design assignments. I have several years experience creating and revising custom design and art work, in various mediums from cut paper to oil painting to digital design. I pride myself on being able to take a client's vision and bring it to life in a unique way. I demonstrate great accuracy in all work I accept, coupled with a quick turn around. My specialties include, but are not limited to, article/review writing, product description, ghostwriting, editing/proofreading, copywriting, research articles, as well as interview transcription.

    I'm a highly motivated, independent worker with experience in art, design, writing, and editing. As a graduate student and an artist, I have to be a jack of all trades - I'm an excellent improviser, planner, and multitasker. As a young person, I might not have the most experience - which is why I make up for it with grit and passion. I am an excellent communicator and writer, as is evidenced by the many people I've helped win money and positions within the arts through careful editing and re-writing of their funding applications. If you need someone to craft a narrative, do some tricky proofreading, or just make sure that your message comes across clearly, I'm your guy! Thanks to my collegiate education in the arts, I am skilled and confident with a variety of design programs, especially Adobe products. My specialties are photo editing and print layout, so if you have products that need to look gorgeous, business cards that need to be memorable, or even a 300-page book with full-color photographs and tricky technical specifications, put me on speed dial! Finally, please know that at the end of the day, I am here for YOU. I will be upfront, responsive, and accountable. Your project is my project, and I care deeply about its success.

    I completely adore ghostwriting fiction. I do fairly well with pretty much any genre, but do have my preferences. You come up with the story premise and I will make it sing or I can create a story from scratch for you. It's one of my passions to try to create characters you can relate to. Making realistic scenarios that will touch and move your readers in ways they never expected. If you want me to work my magic, all you need to do is say so. While I can work fairly quickly, on occasion it may take me a bit of time. Character building isn't something that happens overnight. If you want a great story, you have to give me a bit of time to work through it. I can write anything from romance to YA, with no issue whatsoever. I have experience with modern romance, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, paranormal, cozy mysteries and time travel romance. I may not have samples I can show for each, but I can show you a few things to give you an idea of my style of writing. Most clients prefer I keep my work for them under wraps, and their trust is important to me. I have also done developmental editing, blog post writing, and more. If it has to do with words, I do it. I am an extremely punctual individual and will work hard to give you what you need on time. But I do expect a realistic timeline and acceptable pay. I don't work for pennies and have a proven record of satisfied customers.
