Hi, I’m Alexis—a multimedia storyteller specializing in creative writing, editing, and voice performance. I live at the intersection of words and performance. With a foundational background studying Journalism at UNLV, Creative Writing at FSU, and TV/Screenwriting at UCLA, I understand how stories are built from the page up. This deep training in script analysis and narrative structure doesn't just make me a sharp writer and editor—it gives me the exact tools needed to dissect a script and deliver a nuanced, compelling vocal performance. Whether you need a manuscript polished or a character brought to life behind the microphone, I bring precision and distinct style to every project. When I’m not freelance writing or recording, I’m usually playing tabletop RPGs or working on personal scripts—because even my breaks from storytelling tend to involve more storytelling. Looking for a versatile creator who can adapt to your unique voice and vision? I’d love to connect—let’s breathe some life into your ideas! ✍️ CREATIVE WRITING & EDITING I have a passion for storytelling in all its forms. Whether I’m crafting haunting short stories about cryptid creatures, weaving a heart-wrenching poem so prose it borders on pompous, scripting goofy dialogue for a harebrained screenplay, or providing in-depth developmental editing, my work is driven by voice, tone, and atmosphere. Creative & Scriptwriting: Engaging, emotionally resonant fiction, scripts, and multi-character dialogue. Manuscript Critique & Editing: Professional beta reading and structural editing focusing on pacing, character arcs, and world-building. Copywriting: Clear, compelling content that informs, persuades, and delivers practical results. 🎙️ VOICE ACTING & AUDIO PRODUCTION: Working out of a dedicated home studio with professional audio gear, I deliver clean, raw file exports with a guaranteed pristine noise floor below -60 dB. I am highly proficient in Audacity for all recording and editing needs. Character Dialogue: Skilled in developing and maintaining distinct voices, accents, and tones for multi-character projects and interactive storytelling. Long-Form Narration: Proven vocal stamina and consistent pacing optimized for poetry, short stories, and long-form audiobooks.

SEO Blog Writer | Ghostwriter | Editor | Pop Culture, Tech & Lifestyle | Fiction & Nonfiction Specialist I'm a writer and editor with fifteen years of experience helping brands find their voice, authors finish their books, and blog posts actually get read. On the writing side, I ghostwrite SEO content for NordVPN, breaking down complex cybersecurity topics for everyday readers. I write pop culture and personality-driven content for Truity, analyzing beloved TV and film characters through the lens of Myers-Briggs. And I've written brand and editorial copy for clients ranging from Salsbury Industries to the luxury perfume brand LARTEDELSENTIRE — which means I can shift tone and register to suit whatever world your brand lives in. On the fiction side, I ghostwrote the second and third books in the young-adult historical romance series THE FLAPPERS, and have self-published two novels of my own—experience that gives me a deep appreciation for research, voice, and brutal deadlines. I've spent fifteen years editing manuscripts for authors preparing to query agents or self-publish, doing track changes and revision letters that help writers get their work to the next level. What you can count on: clean, on-brand copy delivered ahead of schedule with minimal back-and-forth. My clients tend to stick around, and they'll tell you why.

Finding a writer who "sounds good" is easy. Finding one who understands why people click, buy, and come back is harder. That's what I do. My background is psychology and health sciences (4.0 GPA), plus a few years as a data analyst before I moved into copywriting full time. It shapes how I work. I pay attention to how people actually make decisions and where they drop off. Right now I write across a few different lanes: White papers and long-form thought leadership. I ghostwrite technical white papers for clients in supply chain tech and healthcare, 20+ completed so far. Authoritative, research-backed, written for the C-suite and senior decision-makers. Direct response and ad copy. Hooks, scripts, and landing pages for paid social and search, written to convert. Social media content and strategy. I build monthly content calendars, write captions, and develop video concepts for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Clients span healthcare, real estate, wellness, and eCommerce. Email marketing. I write sequences built around segmentation and behavioral triggers that move leads through the funnel without the hard sell. I also run conversion audits: I go through existing copy and flag where the messaging is losing people, with specific fixes. If you want copy that's sharp and strategic, and a writer who can tell you why it works, send me a message and let's talk about your project!
