I deliver substantive results for businesses looking to reach homeschoolers in a variety of ways, from content and copy writing, consulting, curriculum design and development, spokesperson services, and more. Some of my clients are just starting out with a new product to develop. Others are well-established companies that need a liaison with the homeschool community.

I've written corporate and training videos for companies and brands such as Southern California Edison, Honda, and The Department of Veteran Affairs.

Whitney N.
- 5.0/5

I'm Whitney, an expert story coach, script polisher, and developmental editor. I help writers develop and craft their best novels, memoirs, non-fiction books and screenplays. I look for projects that have immense promise and work with you to nurture your manuscript or script till it's all it can be! I've worked with award-winning authors, professional ghost writers, traditionally-published writers (i.e. Penguin Random House), and self-published authors with 4+ star Good Reads ratings to create compelling narrative arcs, pinpoint non-fiction core concepts, and generally guide promising stories toward greatness. I love helping writers craft beautiful and meaningful stories. If that's your dream -- I'm here to help. My skills come from years working as a story coach, writer, journalist, as well as within the publishing industry through a traineeship at FranklinCovey where I served on the advisory committee for Sean Covey's book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens." I also have studied under working Hollywood screenwriters. I know the industry's reigning philosophies and approaches to storytelling -- such as those put forth by Pilar Alessandra, and Blake Snyder in his nigh-ubiquitous "Save the Cat." I'm also aware of the more unique devices taught by Angus Fletcher (a self-dubbed "story scientist" who has been brought in by TV networks and studios to crack story problems). My Specialties: ✔️ Story and Writing Coaching ✔️ Non-Fiction, Memoir, Novels (Literary Fiction), and Short Stories ✔️ Editorial Assessments ✔️ Full Developmental Edits ✔️ In-Depth Beta Reads ✔️ Script Consulting and Script Polishing Story is COMPLEX. Let me use my experience, story knowledge and knack for analysis to identify why your essay, narrative, short story, script. etc. isn't quite working, If you are worried about criticism, I assure you, I'm not your critic, I'm your coach. I offer you an array of specific and constructive feedback to make your story better. Most of my clients state, when they get my feedback report that it is the most illuminating, helpful and nuanced feedback they have ever received. I'm knowledgeable about essential story tools such as: ✔️ Story structure ✔️ Tone ✔️ Scene ✔️ Humor ✔️ Dialogue ✔️ Core Messages ✔️ Flow of Argument 💡 I can also work with you on a nascent story, self-help, non-fiction or memoir idea if you need some guidance starting a book! I have worked with entrepreneurs and coaches who have rarely or never written, but want to turn their fascinating start-up success story or core coaching principles into a compelling non-fiction book. Every great writer has a fantastic coach behind them. Even Ernest Hemingway took constructive developmental notes from his writer/journalist partners. Beware of the mistake in thinking writing a fantastic book is something you must do on your own! Don't let my price intimidate you. An expensive developmental editor is one who pats you on the head, says good job, or primarily makes suggestions about formatting and line edits. You won't grow as a writer from these suggestions and neither readers nor traditional publishers will be fooled. My goal is to offer you only what you need to take you to the next stage -- whether that's a coaching session, a beta read, or a full developmental edit. I want to give you only what you need to help you move forward. I offer risk-free sessions. Try a coaching or developmental editing session with me to see how you might benefit and if you're a good fit. The initial consultation fee will be applied to your project. If you'd like the opportunity to "try out" a session with me, go ahead and request an interview so we can talk and get started! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile. I can't wait to read your work! PLEASE NOTE: I frequently receive inquiries about ghost writing. I can assist your ghost writer in developing your book, but I am not a ghost writer, nor do I offer ghost writing services.

What's the One Thing Standing Between Your Ideas and a Bestselling Non-Fiction eBook? It’s not the lack of ideas. It’s not your brand’s vision. It’s definitely not your expertise. It’s TIME. And maybe...a little frustration with where to start and how to finish. The truth is... You know your message deserves to be read, but between your daily grind and planning your business’s next big move, where do you find the time to write, edit, and polish an eBook that truly resonates? That’s where I step in. 🎯 From Idea to Bestseller—Effortlessly! Whether you’re looking to: ✅ Publish a lead magnet eBook to grow your email list. ✅ Write an insightful industry authority eBook that earns trust (and sales!). ✅ Share your success story or framework to educate, inspire, and convert readers... ✅ Craft a high-impact book that drives viral sales and earns rave reviews on Amazon. You don't need to lift a pen—or type a word! I’ll take your ideas, voice, and vision, and turn them into engaging, market-ready non-fiction eBooks that sound like YOU and attract your ideal audience. 🛑 What’s Worse Than Not Writing an eBook? It’s publishing one that doesn’t hit the mark. 📉 Your book takes off on Amazon with great buzz, but poor reviews quickly kill its momentum and credibility. ❌ The content fails to connect with your audience. 🚫 Your eBook gets ignored because it doesn’t align with your brand’s voice or message. 🔍 Opportunities lost—no leads, no authority boost, no buzz. ⚠️ Or worse: It damages your credibility, making readers question the value of your expertise. Your ideas deserve more than just another generic eBook. You need a polished, persuasive masterpiece—one that delivers results, builds trust, and sparks action. That’s exactly what I create: 📖 An eBook that reflects your brand. 📈 A message that resonates with your audience. 💼 A resource that turns readers into loyal clients and advocates. This isn’t just about getting it done—it’s about getting it right. 🚀 But What If Your eBook Could... Convert casual readers into loyal followers and buyers? Establish your authority in your niche (without screaming “I’m the expert!”)? Expand your brand reach—without you spending months wrestling with words? I’m here to make that happen, from concept to completion. You'll get an eBook that’s impeccably written, strategically designed, and ready to boost your brand’s credibility and sales. 📖 How Does This Work? 1️⃣ Kickoff Chat: We jump into a chat to discuss your ideas, goals, and vision. 2️⃣ Customized Outline: I create a structure that makes sense—and hooks your readers. 3️⃣ Writing & Review: I write your eBook in phases, so you’ll always be in the loop. 4️⃣ Editing & Polishing: I refine it until it’s flawless, with your final approval. 5️⃣ Delivery: Your ready-to-publish eBook, polished and formatted to perfection. ✍️ What’s the Best Time to Start? Right now. Before your competitors publish the eBook that could have had your name on it. Let me help you bring your ideas to life and watch your audience engage, subscribe, and convert. Ready to get started? Shoot me a message, and let’s kickstart your journey to a bestselling book!

I realized at a young age that I'm much better at writing about things than talking about them. It's meant I've had to struggle through many an awkward phone call over the years, but it's also allowed me to share my skills with others, to convey their messages and speak (just not literally) to their audiences. I live for writing, on just about any topic. You can read about my specialties below, but feel free to reach out to discuss any project and experience my awkward verbal communication skills for yourself. I am an Australian who has also lived in Europe and is currently based in the US. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Medical Research with First-Class Honours in Neuroscience, which helped me develop excellent technical writing skills. I've authored a thesis and numerous scientific papers, both within my area of expertise and beyond it. As well as scientific papers, I have published blogs on various topics including sport, travel, student life, health and wellbeing, gardening, science, and so much more. I have also written research papers, press releases, landing page copy, newsletter content, case studies, and more. I've worked as a content marketing manager, developed SEO strategies for blogs, and love to write on a range of different topics. I'm now a full-time freelancer who never (ever) misses deadlines. Get in touch if you think I'd be a good fit for your next project!

Either you think you can impact the world with your ideas or not, you are right. There has always been a thin line between remaining mediocre and actually getting your voice heard.

"You've already made us a better company." Every day I try to live up to this accolade, recently given to me by a current client after working together for two weeks. I help companies tell a story about their product or service that resonates with the reader. I'm expert-vetted and a member of the "top 1% global independent talent" on Upwork, and I've written, edited, and managed content for Google Cloud, Accenture Song, and Sempra Energy, often focused on topics of tech and sustainability. I'm experienced with ChatGPT and regularly edit AI-generated work for clients, and I renewed my certification in SEO from Hubspot Academy in April of 2023. *** Client Testimonials: "We only let in the top 5% of freelance writers." - Superpath Marketplace "Mike McAllister is absolutely phenomenal, and on his last project, grew the profile of a major multi-billion dollar energy company by proactively marketing and positioning them for industry rewards, along with new recognition for their underrepresented innovation. Hire him immediately and don't be surprised when your company soars." - Greg C., Executive Creative Director, Accenture Song "Mike helped elevate our brand with our clients, bringing to life the innovative work we did in industry publications, award submissions, executive communications, global townhalls, and more. He is also one of the most wonderful people to work with—he’s got high EQ, is ultra-reliable, deeply collaborative across functions, and a champion of D&I. He’d be an asset to any team." -Jeffrey S., Customer Strategy Leader, Accenture Song *** I developed my instinct for narrative in part through the master’s degree program in nonfiction writing at Columbia University, where I was nonfiction editor of Columbia Journal. I continued to sharpen the instinct in my essays for The New York Times and national literary journals. Today, I bring this experience to my work in content writing, editing and copywriting. My passion is good storytelling—in every form—that connects with the head and the heart of the reader. - Over twenty years of professional writing and editing experience - Over fifteen years of blogging experience - Over seven years of marketing experience I specialize in writing and editing: - Blogs - AI-Generated Content - Website Content - Social Media - Transcript-to-Blog Adaptations - Testimonials and Biographies - Executive Messaging Writing samples available.

I'm a book publishing and media specialist with over 30 years experience copyediting, proofreading, ghostwriting, and marketing successful nonfiction books. My greatest joy is helping an author craft the perfect book for their brand. I am equally skilled at shaping a book from idea to page; doing developmental and/or copyediting or proofreading at any stage; and brainstorming and storyboarding infographics, compelling charts and tables, and/or more whimsical or informative illustrations. I have extensive connections to excellent photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers, and can help you navigate finding and working with the right professional as needed. As a longtime publisher who has spent time on the other side of the desk, as it were, I know what makes a compelling proposal if you wish to catch the eye of a literary agent or trade publisher. For self-publishers, I work with professionals who can help to take your book from manuscript to printed copies. I have helped to develop four New York Times bestsellers with first-time authors, and shaped dozens more highly successful "category killer" nonfiction titles in topics ranging from cookbooks to popular science to style and beauty to outdoor survival. My expertise encompasses many fields, including: • Project development • Developmental editing • Copyediting • Project management • Proofreading • Ghostwriting (wide range of topics, from memoirs to art to outdoor living and more) • Writing and conceptualizing sales and marketing collateral • Consulting with small publishers in fields including: acquisitions, list-building, growing team of editors, illustrators, photographers, and/or designers. I can connect you with the right external professionals and handle briefing, corrections, and more.

Words are my passion—my entire world, really. As a reader, writer, and editor, I understand the importance of language and its impact on individuals. My work is more than just an income to me. I enjoy connecting with writers and value each project as if it were my own. Your project deserves a devoted editor who will take the time to ensure a polished piece. And that's when I step in. My goal is to help you achieve your best work and capture the attention of your target audience. Collaboration is the key to success in the writing world—you really do need a village: the writer, the editor, the reader, the publisher, and the support system. To help your project reach its full potential, I thoroughly work through all elements to ensure clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness while preserving your one-of-a-kind voice and style. I strive to produce exquisite results and an error-free copy ready for publication. Communication is an invaluable part of the editing process and the author-editor relationship, so I provide honest, respectful, and instructive feedback. The completion of any project will be a team effort, so I invite any questions or concerns you may have. I offer the following services: developmental editing, line editing (heavy copyediting), copyediting of various levels, proofreading, and various writing services. If inquiring about a developmental edit, please know that I include a full project assessment addressing readability, structure, and perspective. The areas of concern I attend to in all projects include, but are not limited to, the following: • Spelling • Capitalization • Hyphenation • Quotations and dialogue • Ambiguous, confusing, inaccurate, or unidiomatic language • Infelicities in grammar, punctuation, syntax, and usage • Reworking problematic writing (i.e., unclear writing, unnecessary repetition, and wordiness) I look forward to joining your creative journey :) Please see my website for editing information, writing samples, and a sneak peek into my personality!

I am a bestselling and award-winning author with three published novels to date. My tales are fast-paced and gripping to the core, easy to read but hard to forget. Writing a book can be torturous work, if you're not used to it. It requires an immense amount of time, patience, and tactful planning. Many just don't have the time or energy. And that's where I come in. My novels have reached the very top of the Amazon bestseller lists. That's right--number one. I have won book awards, and my novels have been highly praised by trusted book review companies such as Readers' Favorite, The Midwest Book Review, and Online Book Club. Send me an outline or any ideas you might have, and let's get started on your book!

How's it going? I'm a passionate writer from the frigid midwest who escaped to the surf and sun of California! I started my writing journey in fiction, well over a decade ago, and have since written three novels, several feature screenplays, and have worked with a variety of clients writing everything from greeting card descriptions to web copy for high-profile artist collaborations. Fun Fact: I was raised almost entirely on 80's music and movies! I'm first and foremost a storyteller, taking the reader on a journey that intrigues them, delights them, and excites them! This spirited sense of showmanship will give your products, websites, and blogs a zest and a sparkle, drawing attention to your services or products in a way that is organic and memorable. Supplementing my writing skills is an understanding of SEO keywords, research, brand positioning, and audience/demographic targeting. I have a special interest in fashion, design, architecture, travel, and fine art. However, I have a natural curiosity and a talent for quick learning, so no matter the topic I will deliver with passion! Topics I have written for: —Textiles —Party supplies —Home decor —Greeting cards —Neon signs —Music/musical artists —Pop culture —Outdoor gear —Fine jewelry I'm just a message away, so if you feel we'd be a good fit, don't be shy; reach out!

I am an avid reader who mainly loves reading romance novels. I like many of the romance genres from historical to dark. I don’t shy from spice. Is your work about aliens loving humans, groovy. Is your work about a duke and his blue stocking love nemesis - bring it on. I love diving into new worlds within the pages of a book and chatting all about it. Want to know what worked or what could be improved, I’d be honored to take part in that process.
