Almost a quarter of a century of daily experience as a teacher, editor, proofreader and content creator gives the experience and knowledge necessary to guarantee mastery of the Portuguese language to all those who want to learn, improve or perfect it.
As well as those who intend to create in the language of Camões, Pessoa or Saramago but they need someone to do it for them.

I help B2B founders turn their real-world expertise into a high-converting LinkedIn presence that builds authority, trust, and inbound demand.
Most founders and executives know they need to be active on LinkedIn. The problem? They don't have 10 hours a week to sit at a blank screen and write. They end up posting randomly, sounding generic, or outsourcing to agency copywriters who don't understand their industry.
I offer a high-touch, friction-free alternative.
As your LinkedIn Growth Partner, I act as an extension of your brain. Through a streamlined, low-lift interview and transcript process, I extract your raw thoughts, stories, and insights—and craft them into sharp, highly nuanced content that sounds 100% like you and resonates with senior decision-makers.
📊 Proven Track Record
I don't just write posts; I know how hard-to-reach executive audiences evaluate credibility and how the LinkedIn algorithm rewards high-signal content:
—0 to 40,000+ Followers: Built and scaled organic content strategy for an exclusive Chief Legal Officer network.
—0 to 10,000+ Followers: Stood up a niche executive community targeting hard-to-reach CFOs.
—25,000+ Personal Network: Regularly craft text-driven posts achieving 95%+ organic reach outside my immediate network.
🧠 The Frictionless Content Process
You never have to sit down and write a post from scratch. My process is designed around your busy schedule:
Low-Lift Knowledge Extraction: We capture your ideas through quick 10-minute voice notes, raw meeting transcripts, or casual recorded conversations.
Executive-Level Writing & Ghostwriting: I translate your unstructured thoughts into sharp, high-signal LinkedIn posts, thought leadership pieces, and newsletters.
Algorithm & Voice Tuning: Every post is refined to match your authentic tone, driving high dwell time and reaching the exact decision-makers you want to influence.
💡 Why Work With Me?
Before focusing exclusively on content and personal branding, I spent over a decade as an executive recruiter working directly with venture-backed founders, fintech leaders, and C-suite operators.
That background gives me an edge standard copywriters don't have: I speak fluent executive. I understand how buyers evaluate trust, how senior leaders talk about risk and growth, and how to position expertise so it actually drives commercial opportunities.
When readers see content I've crafted, the most common response is: 'I felt like you were speaking directly to me.'"
🛠️ Core Services
Executive Ghostwriting: Founder POVs, long-form text posts, newsletters, and industry commentary.
LinkedIn Founder Brand Strategy: Positioning, content pillars, core narrative development, and profile optimization.
Long-Form Repurposing: Turning podcasts, keynotes, sales calls, and internal memos into steady LinkedIn content engines.
🤝 Best Fit Clients
I partner best with B2B founders, CEOs, investors, and consultants who have deep domain expertise but need a sharp, trusted writer to turn their insights into a consistent, lead-generating LinkedIn presence.
If you are ready to build an authentic personal brand without taking time away from running your business, send me a message or invite me to your job post. Let's discuss how we can partner up.

I am a highly experienced American editor and writer based in Europe, which offers you a unique time-zone advantage. Because I'm hours ahead, I can work on your project while you're offline—ensuring that your work keeps moving forward.
I’m a professional editor and writer with an extensive background spanning the full lifecycle of print publications—from original writing and copyediting to production and final print layouts. I hold master’s degrees in anthropology and counseling psychology, along with certificates in nonfiction writing and equity and diversity.
My work focuses on clarity, accuracy, correct grammar and mechanics, stylistic consistency, voice preservation, and presentation. PLEASE NOTE: I don't provide structural or developmental editing, curriculum development, scholarly or academic editing, fact-checking, citation or reference formatting, or marketing or web copy.
My freelance services are focused within two distinct areas:
1. K–6 Educational Content (Educational Publishers & TpT Creators)
• Nonfiction Writing: I've authored 300+ leveled books and hundreds of reading passages for educational publishers, including Reading A–Z, Benchmark Education, and Pearson. I specialize in translating science, history, and world cultures into age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, grade-aligned text.
• Copyediting & Text Leveling: I've edited thousands of student texts and teacher-facing materials. For student text, I ensure strict compliance with Lexile and other readability metrics.
2. Adult Nonfiction Books
• Psychology, Health & Professional Growth: Leveraging a background in counseling psychology and professional coaching, I edit books across a range of topics—including general psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), coaching, wellness, career development, and financial literacy. I ensure clarity and accessibility while protecting each author's authentic voice.
• Cultural & Inclusive Focus: Drawing on a master’s degree in anthropology and a certificate in equity and diversity, I provide attentive editing for manuscripts addressing diverse populations, disability, immigrant experiences, and multicultural perspectives.
• Notable & Bestselling Projects: I have provided meticulous copyediting and proofreading for high-profile books, including three titles by Internal Family Systems (IFS) founder Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, Rebecca Fett’s global health bestseller "It Starts with the Egg," and a New York Times best-selling finance book.
Technical Scope & Capabilities
• Editorial Standards: Expert application of the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) across line editing, copyediting, and final proofreading stages.
• Layout & Design: Design and creation of print-ready layouts as well as meticulous quality-control reviews of prepublication pages, backed by years of experience as a full-time graphic artist.
• Workflow Environments: Highly proficiency in MS Word (Track Changes) and Acrobat Pro markup; proficient in Google Docs; experience working with Adobe InCopy.
Note: I format for print only and don't create ePub files, but I can confidently refer you to an excellent Upwork ePub specialist I've partnered with for ten years.
If your project requires an experienced, detail-oriented professional who ensures clarity and accuracy while maintaining deadlines, please contact me to discuss your project.
What my clients say:
"I've worked for major New York book publishers and top-tier university presses, and Kirin is one of the best copy editors I've encountered.

—Douglas Tepper, Former Executive Editor, Science A–Z
"Kirin has edited for me for several years. She is thorough and quick, and her editing is the best! She takes my writing and makes it even better, offering an elegance of language as well as suggestions that are spot on. On top of all that, she is very easy to work with. I recommend her highly."
