I am a highly creative, native English-speaking writer and editor, with a degree in English: Creative Writing, and 15 years of professional experience, including a BAFTA nomination for the BBC television series Horrible Histories. Here on Upwork, I'm lucky enough to ghost write/edit on a huge range of different projects, working with creative and corporate clients from all over the world. My job is to make your YouTube video, non-fiction e-book, novel, explainer video, e-training course, company commercial, website copy or comedy sketch - the list goes on! - the very best it can be. I pride myself on my ability to quickly find/mimic the right voice, and best way to tell any story, share any content or sell any brand. Having previously worked as a television producer, across large, multi-disciplinary teams, I enjoy working with people as much as I do ideas, and I invite you to check out the testimonials on my profile, and read my clients' feedback. Away from work I love music, football, food, walking, travel and…writing! My critically-acclaimed debut novel Don't Worry, Everything Is Going To Be Amazing was published in 2020 under the pen name Billy Moran, whilst on the non-fiction side, 50 Shades of Gravy: The Cookbook (by IM Pliant) was a best-seller shipping over 10,000 copies. I have also run my own small publishing imprint releasing fiction and non-fiction books by other TV writers, which I edited. If you'd like a quote, please share your project spec, and I'll be happy to jump on a call.

🟢 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘄 Let me take you through a quick read. You’ve got an incredible idea — maybe it’s a book concept, a brand story, or a message that’s been echoing in your head for months. But every time you sit to write, the words don’t sound like you. The story feels stuck. The pages stay blank. Deadlines creep closer, and that dream project? It starts to feel like a burden instead of a breakthrough. That’s where I come in. I’m a Creative & Reliable Ghostwriter, Expert Content Writer, and Editor who turns unfinished thoughts into unforgettable stories. I don’t just write for you — I write as you. My words mirror your tone, your personality, and your intent, so your readers feel your voice in every sentence. I understand your biggest fear: handing your idea to someone who won’t “get it.” But here’s the truth — I do get it. I’ve worked with authors, entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives who once felt the same. Now, their books are published, their blogs rank, and their content commands attention.

Every piece I create is well-researched, thoughtfully structured, and crafted to connect with the people who will actually read it. I don’t recycle templates or spin content. Everything is written from scratch, grounded in clarity, depth, and genuine voice. I care about how content feels. Whether the tone is educational, motivational, conversational, or authoritative, I adjust the language and rhythm to reflect your brand and speak directly to your audience. Collaboration is part of my process—not an obstacle. I communicate clearly, welcome feedback, and work seamlessly with teams, creatives, and strategy guidelines. Quality is never negotiable. Grammar, readability, formatting, structure, narrative flow—I give careful attention to the details that shape the final experience. I also stay current with content trends and style practices so every piece I create remains relevant and impactful. Plus, I Format Books Professionally for Publishing If you’re developing a book, I can also format and prepare your manuscript for a smooth publishing experience on platforms like Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, and IngramSpark.
