I'm a communications professional with more than a decade of editing and writing experience across a wide variety of formats, working specifically in news and public relations. Since joining Upwork I've worked consistently for nearly a year as a creative editor for a book publisher, applying grammatical and copy editing to chapter drafts to improve the flow of writing. I was also tasked with assessing edits made by other editors and for providing direction to fellow creative editors. The other consistent work I've done for nearly a year on Upwork is the production of unique social media posts for a wide range of clients. Overall, I've edited and written news articles, essays, resumes, emails, letters, reports, memos, press releases, websites, and more. I can produce content and copy quickly and effectively, or I can edit your writing to help you clearly and concisely achieve your communications goals.

You've got a story to tell. A brand to promote. A world to change. You need compelling content worthy of your vision, and a collaborator who's up to the task. May I introduce myself. I'm a Michigan-based storyteller with a holistic approach to creating compelling content to outdo your project goals. I stitch together compelling words and stunning visuals to create dynamic content aimed at delivering consumer engagement and SEO rankings. With a background in journalism, I have a nose for news, but excel in creative writing, content development, and editing. I truly shine in that sweet spot where the written word and polished visuals converge to tell a story, promote a brand, or sell a product. I have two years' experience in the newsroom, specializing in personal interest stories, environmental issues, investigative reporting, and social justice issues. Camera at my side, I often captured the essence of a story in a single photograph. But my shutter doesn't close on news alone. I'm obsessed photographing what makes life worth living. From weddings and architecture to nature and product photography, my photographic skills offer another tool to convey a richer story. As a story teller, I experiment with many mediums to get the perfect angle, capture the essence of a moment, and illuminate the glory of the world. I'm a renaissance man experimenting with the human story, with an insatiable hunger to become a master of its telling.

Let's cut to the chase. You want quality copy and you want it delivered on schedule. You want STAT Copywriting. Scott Rutherford started STAT in 2007. At the time, most of his focus was on articles and blogs. For much of that time, Scott was a full time freelance writer and editor. These days, Scott is a full time high school teacher (World History & Geography/French). He still accepts work writing articles, blogs, and web copy, but has expanded his services to include editing and French-to-English translation. Scott also draws on four years experience as a staff writer, managing editor and executive editor for Metro Leader, a family of hyper local monthly newspapers (print) throughout Louisiana and Texas with distribution that peaked at more than two million homes. In addition to his own editorials, business spotlights and human interest reporting, Scott managed more than 50 freelance journalists and managed all editorial aspects of seven papers, including putting together story rosters, recruiting and training freelance writers and photographers, copy editing, managing budgets and invoicing. He is also a traditionally published novelist. Scott is a motivated, skilled writer, editor and writing coach who can take your idea and deliver top notch copy. Work is delivered on schedule and at a reasonable price. In most cases, payment is not expected until the job is complete. Revisions are always included in the initial price.

Expertise in editing, proofreading, academic writing, writing, and ghostwriting. With an MA in English, BA in English Literature/Creative Writing, and a background in writing, editing, and journalism (newspaper and magazine), I enjoy collaborating with you to help your work become effective, high quality, efficient output. I have edited dozens of documents and book manuscripts, earning a reputation here on Elance (now Upwork) as a proficient, exceptional editor with a fast, cheap turnaround. My specialties include novels, manuscripts, SEO content, content optimized for website/online, academic pieces, articles, and more! My areas of focus include: -Proofreading: Looking for mistakes at the word and sentence level (optional: with attention to content) -Copy Editing: Looking for mistakes at the sentence and paragraph level, with attention to content -Substantial/Developmental Editing: Looking for plot holes, characterization, the novel/piece as a whole -Manuscript/Content Critiquing: Writing a convenient report that addresses similar concerns as Developmental Editing; offers a quick look at the manuscript as whole rather than focusing on each page as in a true "Edit" -Beta-reading: Covering a variety of author concerns and/or similar elements to a Critique, but not quite as in depth as the aforementioned In addition to extensive knowledge in the editing and publishing world, I've also ghostwritten more than TEN top-ranking Amazon self-published books in genres that have included virtually everything (Amish Romance, Apocalyptic, Christian Romance, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Memoir and Biography... and my own Contemporary Romance!). I've also written countless articles, SEO optimized content, and website content. I believe in an open line of communication and am not afraid to ask questions, ensuring satisfaction with the finished product. Have questions? Wondering which type of edit is right for you?

Thank you for stopping by my page. I am an enthusiastic writer who has a passion for politics, sports, acting, and gaming. I have worked in political campaigns since 2009, helping elect and re-elect Governors, Lieutenant Governors, and Congressmen. My experience covers how to succeed with a political campaign and insure you or your candidate is a winner. My love for sports has seen me writing for TheColdWire.com and BrownsNation.com. I also have experience in writing on the sports betting side of things if you need someone to cover that aspect. I'm also great at doing product reviews for items on Amazon and eBay. My expertise in writing reviews has me highly rated on Google. So if you need a product review on any of those platforms, I'm the guy for the job. I also have experience doing acting for commercials and can do voice acting. My commercials include a spot for a paintball park in Ohio and a mobile game's Christmas campaign. Lastly, I'm an avid gamer who steams from time-to-time on YouTube. No matter what you need, I have what it takes to get the job done.

I am an experienced writer and editor seeking to help organizations craft powerful and effective written materials. Having worked as a writer and editor for more than twenty years, I am confident I would be a valuable asset to any team looking for compelling content. My freelance experience includes writing video scripts and blog posts for a worldwide leader in the translation/localization industry; writing articles for the international trade magazine for the lubricant manufacturing industry; writing corporate leader’s guides and participant training materials; writing brochures, news releases, grants, and promotional materials for a not-for-profit academic research institution; writing articles for local magazines and newspapers; and editing and proofreading textbooks and other nonfiction books. For six years I was a senior writer/editor for a leading provider of web-based business solutions worldwide, where I wrote and edited technical documents, training programs, marketing materials, proposals, and white papers. I also have worked as a writer/editor for the premier publisher of educational and training materials for the hospitality industry, managing the development of manuscripts from first drafts to polished programs; editing textbook manuscripts for content, readability, organization, style, grammar, and punctuation; and developing and maintaining the department’s product-development process in conjunction with the department’s other editors. Most recently, I served as communications specialist manager for the Michigan Senate, where I wrote and edited thousands of news releases, op-eds, speeches, video scripts, and columns that have appeared in media outlets across the state and nation. I also was the senior editor on the team, overseeing and editing the work of the other writers and writing the office style guide as a supplement to the AP Stylebook. I am a talented writer and editor committed to excellence with a superb grasp of AP and Chicago style. I would love the opportunity to use my skills to help you achieve your goals.
