    You need a story with characters and plotlines that leap off the page. You need a tale that will make your readers want more. That is where I come in. As a writer and storyteller, I consider intriguing dialogue and compelling narratives to be the fabric of my job description. No matter what type of writing project I am entrusted with, fiction or non-fiction, I seek to infuse each word I write with uniqueness, utilizing a style that will hook the reader from the very start, keeping him engaged until the final phrase. I have spent the majority of my freelancing life ghostwriting fiction in a variety of genres. The bulk of my experience lies with clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with through Upwork, seeing their writing jobs through to completion. Additionally, I’ve completed many projects with independent clients in the realms of both writing (bringing the stories they want to tell to life) and developmental editing (smoothing out plotline wrinkles and enhancing the quality of rough-draft works). I also hold the position of a Senior Writer with StoryTerrace. RATES: My rate is 0.10 cents per word for ghostwriting My rate is 0.09 cents for outlining. From western romances to paranormal shapeshifters to contemporary and mysteries, I am prepared to fulfill your writing needs. Creativity is my middle name, so leave that to me, I've got it handled. Please note that I DO NOT write anything of a 'steamy' or graphic nature. High energy and high emotion scenes, yes, steamy, no. I look forward to working with you! ****** Sierra Mullins has been fulfilling the fiction and non-fiction writing as well as developmental editing needs of her clients professionally since 2014. Seeing to the creation of high-quality content alongside strict deadlines is her line of work and the products of her creativity receive accolades from her clients and readers alike. Writing is not the only area of Sierra's life that keeps her immersed in the world of creativity. Her 10 year study of classical ballet, which she now teaches, and her study of cultural salsa dancing provide her with an additional connection to all things artistic. Through these additional connections to the artistic realm, she has had the opportunity to bring to life the biographies, experiences, and visions of the professional dancers she trains under. Due to the satisfaction of her clients, she has maintained her Top Rated Status consistently for years on Upwork. During this time, she has completed countless jobs in areas such as: Mail Order Bride, Contemporary Romance, Cozy Mystery, Thriller, Paranormal Shapeshifter, Amish, Non-Fiction Coffee Writing, and Article Writing. Sierra views her creative writing skills as a shareable commodity, a service that she can offer in order to turn the hopes and ideas of her clients into a reality of living color before their eyes. If you'd like to contact Sierra about a job please send her a proposal and include the words "Here Are My Writing Needs" at the top of your proposal so that she will know you read her profile thoroughly. Any proposal missing these words will not be considered.

    ESG reports. Websites. Brand messaging. Content strategy. Executive comms. I've tackled just about every type of project in my 20-plus years as a writer, editor and content strategist — and I still get fired up about helping clients connect in more human, meaningful ways. I once edited a coffee trade magazine that took me from Portland to Bangalore, reporting on the lives of coffee growers and the challenges they face. That experience shaped how I write today: with a focus on authenticity, credibility, and connection. These days, I work across industries, but I've built a deep bench in sustainability and ESG. I've led editorial efforts for reports from Google, Royal Caribbean Group, Microsoft, Comcast NBCUniversal, and Millicom. I've also shaped messaging, strategy, and content for clients like Lowe's, Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Tiffany & Co., Hasbro, Nike, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon. Clients count on me to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling copy and content. And to keep a cool head when things get busy. (On the outside, at least — I credit five silent meditation retreats for that.)
