Hi! I'm Shelly Marvell. I have been writing for over fifteen years. In 2012, I published my first book, A Change of Pace and a few years later, its sequel, Mother of the Groom. I enjoy writing very much and I have a very vivid imagination. I prefer to write fiction because that's what I'm used to but I will pick up the occasional non-fiction project.

Motivated to explore mystery ghostwriting opportunities maximizing my skills as a novelist. Interested primarily in longer works and book series.
Adept at writing in a variety of styles as befits the audience. Professional and efficient. Proficient at completing large projects with superior time management and organization skills. Thrive in a
high pressure, deadline oriented environment.
My rate as an expert ghostwriter is $.04/word. For this, the client will receive (at no additional cost):
Before writing:
1) Chapter by chapter book outline
2) Complete character development
3) Any research required for setting or details
Upon completion:
1) Proofreading for grammar, spelling, and typos
2) Editing for plot and character consistencies
3) Publish ready polishing
I have ghostwritten over twenty novels in the last three years. Many of these have gone straight to publication. I have had several clients for over six months while we complete four or five book series of cozy mysteries.
One final note: Sorry but I do not write romances. I am a Cozy Mystery Writer with some experience in action/adventure, conspiracy, and post-apocalyptic. I also do not usually write paranormal, unless it is limited in scope.
If you are interested in having a high quality cozy mystery series, I look forward to hearing from you.

No AI; all work is 100% human!
I have a love for the written word and a razor-sharp eye for errors! I’m the indie author and small publisher’s best friend, because my editing is a valuable combination of copy, line, and developmental. I look at the manuscript's ENTIRE scope, the viability of the storyline as well as the writing. I also offer storyline/plot evaluations. Romance publishers, in particular, need this service to prevent spending hundreds of dollars on stories that contain implausible and inaccurate situations that render them un-publishable.
Romance is my specialty; however, I also edit nonfiction, business, and medical documents, as well as other fiction genres. I treat each client’s document as if my name were going to be publicly listed as the author. Contact me, and let's discuss what I can do for you!
Here’s a brief summary of the services I offer:
EDITING. In addition to making developmental suggestions regarding structure, pacing, plot, and characterization (the latter two for fiction), I check the entire document for typos, overused/misused/missing words, incorrect facts, inconsistencies, redundancies, contradictions, implausibilities, confusing narrative, pronoun misuse, adverb overuse, point-of-view (in fiction) errors, tense, transitions, clarity, syntax, and of course, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure.
PROOFREADING. Commonly believed to be the same as editing…it’s not. Proofreading should be done after editing is complete and before publishing or submission. This includes correcting missing or incorrect punctuation, incorrect word usage, misused homonyms, missing words, doubled words, irregular word or line spacing, inconsistencies in statements and formatting, typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors.
PLOT/STORYLINE EVALUATIONS. Are you a small publisher who has spent hundreds, or even thousands, on stories that turn out to be worthless? Let me evaluate your ghostwriter’s storyline before you pay to have it written, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it and make suggestions for resolution (or inform you that it’s hopeless). I’ll also review the first 500 words of the manuscript.
GHOSTWRITING. Anything I write for you is guaranteed to need little editing. However, I only consider ghostwriting if a) the client provides a story outline, b) there is a reasonable weekly output of 6-8k words, and c) I am paid at least 3 cents per word.
TRANSCRIPTION/TYPING. Dictated or handwritten: random thoughts/notes, correspondence, medical reports, fiction or nonfiction manuscripts, and one-on-one interviews or conversations (I do not transcribe reports with more than two speakers).
My experience:
• Professional writer for over 20 years, nonfiction (newspaper columnist) and fiction (40+ novels of romance and women's fiction published under my pen name(s), plus ghostwritten titles).
• Professional proofreader who worked for pharmaceutical giant Abbott Labs in that capacity.
• Experienced editor with an 11-year history on Upwork. Top Rated.
• Retired multispecialty medical transcriptionist; qualified to edit medical documents.
• Romance specialist. With so many published romance novels to my name, I possess a thorough understanding of the genre and know what works and what doesn't. I am a book doctor who can clean up plots that contain outlandish elements and revise them into a plot that is both engrossing and *believable.*
