Ghostwriting Writing is my passion and it shows in my writing. A freelance writer since 2007, I embarked on ghostwriting romance novels in 2014. Since that time I’ve written over two million words for my clients about sexy aliens, shifters, rock stars, billionaires, and bikers. I take my readers to the outskirts of the galaxy to the highways of America with a hog rumbling between their legs. My stories feature plenty of romance, twists, and turns with a good HEA. I'm sure I can turn out a quality story for you that will sell well. Currently scheduling work for novels of any genre. Astrology Since romance writing overtook my business I no longer freelance for astrology articles except for grandfathered clients. Sorry.

To be honest, writing wasn’t actually my first choice of career. I desperately wanted to be a firefighter or a police officer or a superhero… I wasn’t picky. I was four. I just really wanted to help people. But it turns out that it helps not to be short when you want to be a firefighter or a police officer, and that the superhero market is a little rough to break into without actual superpowers. Fortunately, I realized I actually had a superpower not too long after that. I can’t fly or bend metal by thinking about it, and the only time I’ve ever turned blue was when I accidentally jumped into a really cold pool. But I can write. I love the sound, the shape, the texture of words. I love the way they interlock and weave together to create pictures in the mind. I love the magic of storytelling, whether I’m telling my kids stories I’ve written just for them, or telling a friend about a cool new boba place that I just found and they have this Earl Grey Lavender latte that just reminds me of silk with an aftertaste of springtime…. It’s amazing! Back when I was a kid, writing for a living wasn’t even on the table. You had to be lucky, connected, or already wealthy… none of which described me, by the way. Now, the world runs online and that means that the online world literally runs on storytelling. Stories transport, inform, enthrall, and motivate. They entertain, comfort and create trust. They can bring people together or move people to action. Most of all, stories connect humans in a way nothing else does. Sounds like a superpower to me... what do you think? What I Can Help You With: * detailed beta reading that delivers a comprehensive report and gives you constructive criticism that's easy to act on (while being very, very nice about it) * encouraging expert editorial support for newer writers * humanizing AI written manuscripts (all lengths) (AI cleanup ghostwriting) * catching AI tell-tales and removing them. * ghostwriting, editing, and researching I am meticulous (can also be called nit-picky) when it comes to editing and ghostwriting. But I love doing it. I love finding my client’s voice and creating something alongside them. Above all, I’m ethical, honest, and I stick to deadlines. If I can’t meet that deadline, I will tell you before I accept an assignment. I don’t want to waste your time or your money. I treat your project as if it's my own… giving you the time, attention, and resources that you need to succeed. If you're a fellow writer, I've got your back.

Please read completely as many common questions are answered here. Born and raised in Ohio, I am a native English speaker and have a BA in English from Kent State University. For five years, I taught language, reading, and honors creative writing to junior and senior high students, writing my own drama and creative writing curriculum. Over the course of my career, I have released nearly a dozen YA novels, short story collections, a collection of plays, a cookbook, and a book on writing. I have worked as a freelance writer / ghostwriter in both non-fiction and fiction capacities, writing everything from captions and copy to short stories and novels in myriad genres. While my forte is fiction, I do accept non-fiction work. I've created characters and outlines, as well as writing from a provided outline, and can work with as much or as little as the client wishes. All work is 100% original, meaning that unless otherwise instructed by a client, I do not outsource work to other freelancers and I do not use generative AI programs. None of my writing, including any provided samples, were assisted or created by AI. Much of my work as a ghostwriter has made Amazon's top 100 ebook lists at least once, and I have had more than one make USA Weekend's Bestseller list. I have been freelancing since 2002 and have been writing full-time since December 2012. As I sign NDAs with all of my clients and while some do give permission for me to use parts of that work as writing samples, I cannot provide full chapters of any work I have done for clients. I can only provide chapters from my own work, which is all YA. I do not write samples over 500 words on request without payment. I require all communication to be through a messaging platform, which means no phone or Zoom interviews, though I am happy to set a time for an Upwork message chat interview. My current Upwork hourly rate is $40/hr and my current Upwork per word rate is $0.06/word. This is based on my experience and what my current clients are paying. Outlining, story development, and revision options vary for per word / fixed rate work and are not provided without additional compensation. I work on a first-come, first-serve basis, and that comes by contract, not discussion. I can advise what my schedule looks like at any given time, but until a contract is signed and a project accepted, that may change. I do not accept any work that promotes / portrays any of the following in a positive manner: homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, racism, hatred, or blasphemy of any religion.
