"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Laura is TOP Notch and just the right person I needed to help me with my Etsy store! She is an SEO expert and seasoned pro. If you want to work with someone who knows their stuff, communicates well, is kind and responsive, then hire Laura! Great experience working with her overall, thank U again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟" -- Nicole Ocean (Etsy: EDRecoveryCoin) It can be difficult to find someone who cares about your brand like you do. As a former small business owner, I understand the struggle of trying to hire a freelancer who is also "in it to win it." Someone who, just like you, aims to make your business's website outshine all of the others in its niche. I owned and managed an Etsy shop called CleanFacedCosmetics from 2014 to August of 2023. Hard work and a little bit of luck helped me bring in over 26,000 sales! In 2022, I began to ease away from running my business full-time for health-related reasons. My educational background is in Technical Writing and Journalism, so I have been leaning back into those fields with the intention of supporting other business owners by creating content to strengthen their websites. I currently work as a technical writer for eRank, an awesome company that provides affordable SEO tools for Etsy sellers. So, why hire me? • I am an Etsy expert. It took a LOT of hard work to get here. If you are on this journey as well, I’d love to make things a bit easier for you. If you need help maintaining your shop (customer service) or optimizing your listings (SEO) -- or if you just want to figure out what it will take to turn your hobby into a full-time business -- feel free to reach out! You won’t find many Etsy consultants with rates more affordable than mine. • With nearly a decade of e-commerce experience behind me, I can expertly craft product listings for your storefront that will get in front of the eyes of your target audience in search. • I am very passionate about educating via the written word. Regardless of whether it’s a blog post, a product guide, website content, or any other document, I will deliver clear and concise information to your customers in a manner that they will understand. Let's make your brand shine! Professional skills: proficient with WordPress, Etsy, Shopify, Figma, and Canva. Experienced with tracking shipments and inventory, creating SEO-rich product descriptions, keyword research, copywriting, proofreading, and editing product photos.

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? Let me send you some materials that will help you out! Don't be afraid to ask!

Ever since I was able, I wanted to be a writer. I didn't care how or where, I just wanted to be a part of the words that change minds. I have experience ghostwriting full length novels and many essays for stellar universities, nonfiction manuscripts, and legal documents, and have edited many romance e-novels (developmental and copyedits.) I'm also working on my own fiction romance novel with 76k reads, and a fantasy novel on the back burner. I am willing to do anything from proofreading to copywriting and writing articles/blog posts. Any job, no matter how big or small, is perfect for me :)
