Hello! I am a professional novelist, ghostwriter, developmental/copy editor, and medical technical writer with over thirteen years of full-time experience on Elance/Upwork. I also do Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) formatting for Amazon’s self-publishing program, to include images/photos. Writing as "Janeen O'Kerry," I am the author of twenty different titles. These include historical and contemporary romance; science fiction; fantasy; and non-fiction. I did the writing, editing, formatting, and cover selection on all of my own books,and you can see them simply by searching "Janeen O'Kerry" in the Amazon store. I will, of course, provide a free sample proofread, edit, or ghostwrite of about 500 to 1000 words. I am a full-time writer and editor and always open to ongoing projects. I will sign an NDA if you wish. Outside of a standard built-in grammar checker, I do not use artificial intelligence (AI) software in any part of my writing, editing, or research process. ***All ghostwriting, editing, and proofreading jobs include the following: A manuscript that is fully edited, polished, and ready to upload as an e-book. A searchable table of contents. About 120 words of cover copy for the back cover and the Amazon detail page. A short 140-character piece for Amazon ads and social media. Ghostwriting Let me help with action scenes, romantic/love scenes, dialogue, or “humanizing” your AI manuscript. All ghostwriting includes a full copy edit and e-book formatting. $0.05 (five cents) per word. Original work solely from your idea. $0.03 (three cents) per word. Writing from your outline or partial manuscript. $0.015 (one and one-half cents) per word. Rewriting from your complete rough draft, with some minor additions. Outlining Creating a scene-by-scene outline for your novel. This is a form of ghostwriting. Includes basic descriptions for up to five leading characters. $0.03 (three cents) per word according to your desired length. Developmental Editing An overall critique with many in-depth suggestions. No copy editing or rewriting. $0.005 (one-half cent) per word. *Save time and money! I am happy to do a developmental edit on just the first 10,000 words of your manuscript. You will have plenty to work on! Copy Editing Line-by-line corrections to grammar, punctuation, and word choices (rein/reign and trooper/trouper). Recasting of sentences for clarity and turning narrative into dialogue where appropriate. $0.01 (one cent) per word. Copy Edit with Developmental Edit A combination of both, as described above. $0.015 (one and one-half cents) per word. Proofreading Punctuation, spelling, and word choices only. No rewriting or suggestions. $0.005 (one-half cent) per word. KDP Formatting Formatting your e-book, paperback, and/or hardback manuscripts for Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) program. Includes a searchable Table of Contents for the e-book; page numbers with Table of Contents for the paperback/hardback; and a list of suggested categories and keywords. Note: Amazon requires that you do the actual uploading yourself, since no one else can use your account; but you may consult me through Upwork messaging during the process. The formatted manuscripts will be sent to you as .docx and .EPUB for the e-book and as a .docx and a .pdf for the paperback/hardback. Both e-book and paperback in the same project: $0.005 per word, plus images. Paperback/hardback alone: $0.035 per word, plus images. E-book alone: $0.0025 per word, plus images. Images: $2.00 each up to 50 images; $1.00 for each additional image. This includes resizing, placement, captioning, and Alt Text for each image, all of which Amazon requires. Images are charged separately for the e-book and the paperback, since each has different formatting requirements. Cover Copy (the "blurb") From your short description, outline, or synopsis of the book, I will create: A blurb of about 100-120 words for the book's back cover and Amazon detail page. A short 140-character piece for advertising and social media posts. $40.00 per book includes both of these. $25.00 to edit an existing blurb into both of these. Medical Writing & Editing Articles and information for your website, e-book, blog, or patient handouts. I have extensive experience with writing and editing for medical websites and e-books. References and samples will be included in the application. I also have eight years of full-time work as a medical transcriptionist for clinics and hospitals, which gave me extensive experience with medical terminology in many different specialties. Medical Writing: Five cents per word. Medical Editing: Three cents per word. Allow me to help make your book into one that will have lasting appeal and continue to sell for years to come, as my own books do. Thank you! I look forward to working with you.

I hold a PhD in biomedical sciences, specializing in medical physics, am a business owner, and have accumulated over 6 years of experience in medical research and writing. I can help you curate high-quality, informative, and impactful content, whether in the form of compelling patient education materials, research articles for peer-reviewed journals, or engaging SEO-optimized content for marketing campaigns for your business. I have expertise in fundamental research on biotech innovations, pharmaceutical sciences, and medical physics applications in diagnostics and therapies. As a business owner, I use my experience to help medical technology start-ups create content, proposals, pitch decks, and product descriptions. Feel free to drop me a message to chat about what I can assist you with! THINGS I'VE LEARNED IN OVER 10 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND MEDICAL WRITING 1. Most biotech or biomedical entrepreneurs are not medical professionals, but they must communicate medical, biotech, and biomedical information! 2. Scientists usually do not have time to spend several weeks writing a research paper for publication; they enjoy doing science, not writing! 3. Most medical professionals, institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) need to communicate with non-medical staff, patients, and the general public, requiring transcription of information for laypeople to understand. IF YOU'VE IDENTIFIED YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE, I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOU AS MY NEXT CLIENT. With several years of academic and industry experience, I can help you with all your communication projects: • I can create compelling content for a variety of purposes, including web content, blogs, YouTube video transcripts, marketing campaigns, peer-reviewed journal articles, and more.. • I can conceptualize, curate, write, and/or transcribe engaging patient or layman education materials that are concise and understandable to non-medical audiences.. BUT, YOU MUST HELP ME HELP YOU.: All I need is a clear description of your project's purpose and who your intended audience is..When I accept a project, that becomes my priority..I follow the timeframes that we will set at the beginning of the project, as well as the ground rules for communication while it is in progress.. My goal is to complete your project when and how you want. I have always exceeded people's expectations, and I strive to continue doing so.
