Hire the Best Ghostwriters
in New Zealand

I am a qualified proofreader and copy editor and I have a BA (HONS) in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. I am a published author of a children’s adventure novel, and I have had many years experience marketing self-published books for authors and managing daily social media posts across multiple platforms. My work experience includes more than six years of editing, proofreading and ghostwriting projects, including contemporary adult fiction, crime thrillers, historical fiction, biographies and various non-fiction manuscripts. I also have experience formatting and publishing eBooks and Print-on-Demand paperbacks for Amazon KDP. I am a former librarian, so I have a vast knowledge of all types of writing including all genres of fiction, non-fiction, biography and children's literature. As a qualified proofreader and copy editor, you can be sure my work is well-structured, engaging and error-free.

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.

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.

I have been writing for 20 years and have been fortunate enough to receive publication in Takahe, Bravado, Adelaide Literary, PIF, Daily Love, Danse Macabre, Apocrypha and Abstractions, Dash, The Fictional Café, Potato Soup Journal, Fleas On The Dog, Cardinal Sins, Tiny Molecules, and Mystery Tribune. I specialize in editing fiction to maximize the readability and impact of each line, paragraph, and chapter. Your reader should want to re-read your sentences because they appreciate them - never because they need to re-read in order to follow the narrative. Writing isn't what I do, it's who I am, and therefore I am never happy until the client is happy. I will edit and re-edit until the client is satisfied. I am an accomplished writer and editor, and - as a fellow writer - I understand the excitement and stress of final edit before publication. I promise to edit your work as if it were my own and assure you that you will be consulted each and every step of the way. I work from home and therefore am available 24/7 for Skype, Zoom, Email - whatever you require, at a moment’s notice. I see UpWork as an opportunity to finance my savings throughout my life. With that in mind, my reputation and quality of work will always be my highest priority. I am not satisfied until the client is satisfied. You will, of course, be consulted as often as is needed throughout each step of the process. My favorite writer, F Scott Fitzgerald, wrote that a poorly formed sentence rang as untrue as a mistimed musical note, and will I take that as guidance during any revision process. I look forward to working with you, Jonathan Herring
