I specialize in admissions essays, SEO blogs, and bios, and I also have a strong background in web content, academic writing, non-fiction, fiction, and poetry.

    The best writing is precise, concise, accurate, and accessible to a non-specialist. I am a native English speaker with extensive editing and writing experience. I am comfortable writing about anything in science or commerce, and specialize in the natural sciences, medicine, psychology, history, and the social sciences. Cryptocurrency has become a subspecialty of mine. I can edit and write about any topic. As a retired professor with a Ph.D., I have published over 70 papers. Forty of those papers have been cited at least 40 times! You can see all my work on Google Scholar, linked on my portfolio. For 15 years, I was an associate editor of "Systematic Biology", one of the highest impact journals in science. I guided many doctoral dissertations to successful completion and was head of admissions in my department. I have a strong record in writing proposals ​and have been awarded seven NSF grants. I have years of experience in teaching as well, with demonstrated success at primary, secondary, undergraduate and graduate levels. This experience has provided skills in explaining things to any targeted audience, from 5 year-olds to professors. Just because I am capable of writing highly complex technical stuff does not mean that I cannot communicate to a general audience. Please do not invite me to interview for fixed-price jobs. I prefer hourly rates so that I can offer you meticulous service, without rushing.

    I can readily meet 24 and 48 hour deadlines. I'm an imaginative, reliable and creative writer. I have a strong background in history, writing, the arts, culture studies, environment, politics, English and science. I'm a native English speaker, and have a BA, MA and an incomplete PhD program. Note: I do not use AI for anything. What I write for clients is all original. My actual work background other than Upwork includes 20 years' teaching writing, art and English at two Florida university campuses and a community college, working for a food brokerage, freelance writing and cartooning, working for a nonprofit, writing scripts for a small videoproduction agency, and articles for a small regional magazine. I'm particularly good at converting difficult ideas and concepts into readable, interesting text. I work well with others, and I am careful to observe deadlines. I take pride in producing good work. I have ghostwritten more than 90 nonfiction ebooks of 10,000 to 30,000 words for Upwork clients,, primarily history and biography. I have recently assisted with anumber of grad school and private school personal statements, written essays, blogs and articles, written special occasion speeches, and helped students with grammar and pronunciation. I've assisted Upwork clients on the high school, BA/BS, Maters and PhD levels. My international clients have come from Japan, China. South Korea, Vietnam, India, Argentina, Russia, Hong Kong, and Egypt. My skill set includes ebooks, essays, blogs, tutoring, organizing and editing statements of purpose, academic writing, summarizing, proofreading, editing, blogging, articles. I know that students are often in a tight squeeze budget, so I can lower my rate some in such a situation. In grad school, I was a student in just that situation and remain sympathetic. A number of my clients on Upwork are long-term, three to five years, and several others are repeat clients.

    I have extensive professional writing experience with major internet publishers. If you need engaging prose, backed with solid research skills and sound SEO instincts, I can convey your message. I have written hundreds of blog posts, magazine-length articles, newsletters, press releases, business letters, and even an audiobook. My background is in journalism, and I was trained to work accurately and efficiently and to never consider missing a deadline. I endeavor to submit clean copy that is ready to publish without major edits required on your end. My professional experience online goes back to being one of the first free-lance editors for Amazon.com in its earliest years. I later created a history site for IAC’s Dotdash (formerly About.com) and wrote and maintained it for a dozen years. I developed a specialty in recent years of writing about history, but I’ve written about all sorts of subjects, ranging from (long ago) coverage of punk bands to (much more recently) B2B business blogs.

    Hello, my name is Tim Foxley. I am British, from London, now living in Sweden. I am educated to Master’s degree level (with a Distinction in Peace and Conflict Studies). I have twenty five years of British government work under my belt (in the defence and intelligence sectors), four years at an internationally acclaimed think-tank and ten years as an independent political/military analyst. In 2005 I receive the MBE for my analytical and written work. My core skills are reading, writing, drafting, editing, researching, fact-checking and creative thinking. Some of my analytical work has been published. My English language skills are excellent. I have a good eye for detail, nuance, structure and layout. I guarantee total confidentiality and impartiality. I am very happy to advise, brainstorm, critique, proofread and assist with comments and ideas for your projects. I have been interviewed on TV and radio and have spoken at the UN, NATO and RUSI. I have an extensive interest in history, military history and conflict. I have read extensively about the wars of the 20th century, particularly WW2, but am interested in a diverse range of historical subjects. As a freelance writer I have written seven books for a Kindle/Amazon publisher – five biographies of World War Two combat pilots, one of a Soviet WW2 army commander and one about a British commando group. I also have a ghost-writing contract with a Swedish publishing company and have written books about the 1879 Zulu War, the 1899-1902 Boer War and the 1943 Battle of Kursk. I am now researching to write books on the 1944 Battle of the Bulge and the 1982 Falklands conflict. Feedback I have received from my Upwork freelance work includes: "Tim's expertise and passion for history, especially his attention to detail, significantly enriched the scriptwriting process. He crafted a captivating and thoroughly researched narrative tailored to the given topic. Impressed by his work, I have enlisted his services for more projects." “Overall I really loved your script and your lively, engaging writing style - it kept me interested the whole way through which is perfect, it's what our channel needs! You're a great writer!” “Your scripts have been excellently researched so there haven't been any fact checking problems…it's been so refreshing to read scripts like yours that are so clearly written by a talented, real writer. So that's a long way of saying I have absolutely no issues with your process. So please let me know when you are ready for another…” "Thanks, Tim! I really enjoyed this and thought you did an amazing job with both the tone and structure. Even after doing videos on the xxxx on other channels, I still felt like I learned a lot from this.” "Outstanding research and writing from Tim. Really did help us reach our goals with his writing and was a real pleasure to work with. Such a professional and delivered above and beyond and would like to work with him again…” I have a diverse range of skills and experiences: I have had military training in the British Territorial Army reserves. I am an amateur historian and a musician. I have completed operational tours of duty in Bosnia and Afghanistan. I have just finished a science fiction novel about time travel. I am a very keen punk rock guitarist and a much less keen marathon runner. I would be very happy to informally discuss your needs, provide you with some initial thoughts and send examples of my written work, so please feel free to get in touch. I do not use Artificial Intelligence and I am not interested in writing anyone's academic paper for them. Best regards, Tim Tim Foxley MBE MA

    Hello potential client: I am a versatile freelancer with over twenty years of academic research, writing, and editing experience. My work has been published in academic journals and books, as well as more popular magazines. I pride myself in providing quality work – no matter the job – to all of my clients. My background as a teacher at the university level has given me a unique perspective to examine academic writing, which will be beneficial to you as a client. I earned a PhD in history from the University of Memphis (2012), writing my dissertation on dynastic change in Late Period ancient Egypt (728-331 BC). I also have a MA from the University of Memphis in ancient Egyptian art history, and a BA in history from Minnesota State, Mankato. Although my historical passion is in the ancient world, I have studied nearly every period of human history. As a historical expert, I will provide you with key insight and research into whatever topic assigned, accessing a variety of source materials to complete the project. Due to my background in ancient Egyptian history, I have extensively utilized a number of languages, modern and ancient, in my research and writing. During graduate school, I took four years of formal coursework in ancient Egyptian languages, focusing primarily on the Middle Egyptian form of the language, but am also familiar with the Late Egyptian form and have an elementary understanding of Coptic. This knowledge can be utilized by you the client in a number of ways, from course preparation to original research. My knowledge of ancient Egyptian can also be used in some more “creative” ways, including writing modern names, jokes, and any number of fun things one can think of to write Egyptian. I can also read modern German, French, and Spanish, which is useful to keep abreast of recent academic work from around the world in a given field. My experience in academia, and now on this platform, has allowed me the chance to edit and proof-read hundreds of term papers, theses, dissertations, book chapters, and journal articles. As a former student, I know how important it is to produce a well-written paper to not only get a good grade in your class, but also to use that paper as a springboard to further your academic career. Since I am currently a writer and researcher, I also know how important it is to keep your name in the field by producing work that is publishable in peer reviewed publications. I have been through the process and know what those publications expect from their writers. Although my background is in history, I have helped edit and proof-read papers from scores of different backgrounds – from computer science to biology and from economics to anthropology. Over the course of teaching for ten years at the university level, I acquired experience in a number of areas that you can utilize. I have extensive experience grading papers and using rubrics, writing course material, and creating my own lectures using Microsoft PowerPoint. I have also studied various pedagogical theories and practices. My teaching experience also gave me the opportunity to become a better public speaker. I have given hundreds of hours of lectures in the classroom and have presented my research at regional, national, and international academic conferences. This experience, along with helping a number of clients on this platform craft speeches, has allowed me to become a top tier speech writer. I have written and edited speeches for awards ceremonies, business presentations, and academic forums, demonstrating that my abilities are varied and diverse. Finally, once I have helped you put together an award winning paper or presentation, I will help you create or edit an excellent letter and resume/CV to go with it. I will help you write an application letter that will help you land that assistantship or fellowship, and I can also help you with cover letters when it is time to start job hunting. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Fact: Spanish is now the second most spoken language in the world and the market is growing. Bad grammar/syntax may be subtle, but as atrocious as bad breath on a first date. Same applies to translations! It is not enough to be a native speaker —the best translators are also accomplished writers. I am a published author at Penguin/Random House. I have more than 30 published books with other publishers in Mexico and the USA. I can translate, write and embellish compelling, page-turner non-fiction in Spanish for adults, young adults and children. I have successfully written books for Upwork clients who have seen their titles go to #1 in the Amazon kindle store in their respective category. I am completely bilingual, contributor to both Spanish and English language magazines. I am a certified translator with +25 years of experience. I have worked for important names in the literary world. Ask me ;-) If you got a bad Spanish translation, I can solve your problem. Amazon and iTunes are brimming with disgracefully translated novels. And if you want to translate your fiction to Spanish and haven´t done it, I urge you to hire a skilled translator with experience in Creative Writing. I am such person, and I will do it right since the first time. As a proofreader, I will deliver your manuscript in perfect Spanish, or evaluate your (probably) machine-made translation to tell you why it´s bad and what you need to make it right. I can also write compelling and well-researched non-fiction in English and Spanish. Feel free to check samples of my work. And do not hesitate to contact me for all your Spanish language needs.

    The study of history can never reveal all the answers about the past, but it can help us imagine how our ancestors lived many millennia ago. Our generation's most remarkable historical papers and books do precisely this, providing us with fuel for our imagination so that we may put a face to the name of a civilization that faded into the shadows of history. My unique approach to history is driven by a passion to ignite imagination. Drawing from many sources, I craft narratives that aim to spark a simple yet profound sense of wonder in the reader. I aim to present a factual and entertaining perspective as I piece together the many fragmented parts of our history. Having trained as an archaeologist has given me the skills necessary to research from many sources as I strive to complete a piece of work. All of my articles and scripts begin with in-depth research before being assembled into a format easily digestible for the reader/viewer. I have studied Western Europe's present and ancient history, including the Stone Age, Celtic, and Germanic cultures of Northern Ireland (Ulster), Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, and Scandinavia. I'm also well-versed in the broader history of Indo-Europeans and that of Mesopotamia, including anceint Iran and Iraq, and all the peoples that rose from this cradle of civilization. I have spent considerable time studying the history of these places, the groups that once inhabited them, their everyday lives, writing systems, and religious customs. I deeply respect the ancient cultures that paved the way for us, and I believe that history should be explained in a way that honors their contributions. If done correctly, this can yield fascinating insight into the ancient world while being true to the historical record. Other Areas of Expertise: World history (Ancient) - Phonecian, Egypt, Chaldean (Old Assyrian), Indus/Harappan(Sanskrit/Tamil culture), Hebrew, Mesoamerican, including the Olmeca, Maya, Tolteca, and Azteca cultures, plus many more. Philosophy - Mahayana Buddhism, Kabbalism, Hermeticism, Upanishads/Vedic, Greek, Gnosticism among others.

    I have over 25 years of genealogy research experience. My specialty is in southern states and in slave research. I am very experienced in working on genealogies that are complicated or where records are scarce, such as finding records in often overlooked places. When county records are burned or missing, there are often records at the state level or military records and possibly records in adjoining counties. I have experience working with land documents (county, state, and federal), court documents (including estate records), also tax, military, and census records. I have a program that can plat out land boundaries and add notes and descriptions. I am also experienced in using DNA results to help find clues when few or no documents exist. The more problematic it seems, the more I enjoy solving it! I know where records are located and how to access many types of records that are not available online and that most people are not aware of or wouldn't think to look. I have researched and published a book of records for one of my family surnames. I have also helped index and transcribe records for the LDS, for their genealogy based website familysearch.org. Through the years I have transcribed thousands of deeds, wills, and other records for my personal research and for clients. I have also transcribed some audio interviews.

    Hi, welcome to my profile! I'm Ryan. I work as an archival producer helping filmmakers, authors and YouTube content creators find, license (clearance) and use archival material in their projects. Communicating with and navigating through archives can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Never fear though! I have a Master's degree in Holocaust Studies, which brought me into contact with loads of archives. I have helped authors and filmmakers arrange trips to archives and find the material they need to make their projects successful. These visits included media records (moving and still images), textual records and oral history. On one such trip, a filmmaker found an oral history of his great grandfather that he didn't know about that will be included in his film. I have also filed public records requests on behalf of filmmakers. This includes police body camera footage along with interrogation video. Benefits of hiring an archival producer: Unique media and textual records for your film, The ability to defend your conclusions and beliefs with supporting material, Oppurtunites to show something new, and many more... The majority of archival material has not been digitized. If you want stock images, or other media that hasn't been used regularly or perhaps never been used in a film, you need to visit the archive. Archives are a treasure trove of great media records and audio recordings. If you want a finished project that has unique sources and is original, you need to visit the archive. Textual records encourage you to come to your own conclusions about history. While using already published books or interviews with experts are important, you don't want that to overshadow your own conclusions or beliefs. Archival sources can give you the evidence and confidence you need to defend your position rather than relying on secondary sources. You don't want your film to take someone's work and re-word it. You want your film to reflect you. Archival material gives you the legitimacy do just that. History has an incredibly large depth to it. There are endless possibilities to find material that has yet to be used in a book or another film. If you're investing money, your reputation and your passions on a film, I bet you want to use something new. Be bold and groundbreaking. Searching archives and filing public records requests can provide your film with something brand stinking new. That's the goal! Hiring an archival producer can provide your film with great benefits. If you want to hire me, contact me and we can arrange a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your project needs and my role. I'm currently based in Missoula, MT. I can provide my services remotely and travel to archives in Montana, Wyoming and the Pacific Northwest. If you are an author or researcher, not fluent in German, I can manage orders and inquires. I have contacts in Germany, which we could use to arrange visits to Berliner archives, if required. I have published an ebook "Camaradas: Ode to the Spanish Civil War". It is a translation from German book written by Erich Weinert. I completed the project on my own. I found the copyright holder and gained permission to complete the project. Looking forward to working with you! Ryan Edgar, archival producer, production assistant and archival researcher

    Hi, I am Khuzaima Aftab. I have been an avid reader who started off with a Sufistic inclination which, in turn, shifted towards a pragmatic, somewhat realist, approach after visiting the shores of Machiavellian ideologies. I believe the edifice of everything around us resonates with the core philosophical thoughts, this intrigues me to write with such authenticity that it grabs the reader from within. I can Write on: • Spirituality • United States History • Islamic Studies • Political Science • Philosophy • Gender Studies • Arts and Culture • Sociology • International Relations What can I offer? • Article • Essay • Contract, MoU, and Agreements • Blogs • Research work • Thesis • Editing services When you work with me, you can expect: • High-quality & Credible Writing • Engaging Writeup • Two-way Feedback • Compliance with and Adherence to Assigned Work & Working Policy • Commitment to Meeting Deadlines Why am I doing this? Rediscovering the inner and outer contours of one’s identity calls for successive strides and taking these writing tasks is one of them. I have an ample amount of job experience in multiple fields. All this equips me with a multifaceted approach toward multiple dimensions of a given subject matter. However, growth is perpetual in this era of modernism. Therefore, writing and working with people intrigues me to excel and broaden my vision. Additionally, I am a firm believer in global citizenship, Upwork, through interaction, allows us to form an interconnected nexus of people from different diasporas. This democratizes the masses and promotes collectivity while retaining one’s individuality.
