Greetings. I am the writer you are looking for! I am an experienced, published fiction writer specializing in action/adventure, mystery, romance novels and short fiction in a wide variety of genres including Western, Victorian, Medieval, Fantasy, Science Fiction, and contemporary. I am a US citizen living in New Zealand, so I understand both the US and international reading audiences and the language readers expect. I take great pride in providing excellent product to my customers in a detail-oriented, deadline-driven work environment. Samples of written work can be viewed on my portfolio, and demonstrate an exceptional command of fiction writing. My samples showcase my outstanding written English, grammar, dialogue construction, and character development. I am currently turning in approximately 10k words per day, so I can complete a 50K word project in a week. I deliver the best possible writing content available and I look forward to working with you long term. To me, deadlines are sacrosanct. When I say I'm going to complete a project in a given amount of time, I do it no matter what. I have several e-books published on Amazon with dozens of five star ratings, both under ghost-writing pseudonyms and under my own pseudonyms. My characters are engaging, my plots captivating, and my twists and surprise endings have created a following of dedicated readers who keep coming back for more. I deliver a superior product ready for immediate publication. Please be comfortable with this payrate before contacting me. I am one of the top rated freelance writers on Upwork and I have an impeccable track record of client communication, quality rating, and 100% job success. Thank you for considering me.

An American author based in New Zealand, I ghostwrite memoir and narrative nonfiction for international clients with ideas that need shaping into compelling books. My work has been published by Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster; one project was adapted into a Netflix series. I’ve worked with clients ranging from scientists and entrepreneurs to first-time authors, building their ideas into book-length manuscripts that hold a reader’s attention. The process is collaborative and structured: a series of interviews, followed by drafting, shaping, and revision. Clients retain full editorial control throughout, while I focus on making the writing clear, readable, and commercially viable.

B2B founders hire me when they know what they think — but not how to say it in a way LinkedIn rewards. I translate their voice, experience, and perspective into posts that build the kind of authority that closes rooms and fills pipelines. Retainer-based, so the work compounds rather than resets each month. Bonus: My background in IT, business development, and consulting gives me an edge with technical founders — I don't need a glossary to understand what you do.
