    I work with Indie authors as well as authors on the traditional publishing route to take all manuscripts from a draft to a book that people everywhere want to binge. If a reader can't put the book down until the last page, then they still crave more, I've done my job well! If you're looking for a professional, bookish bestie, then I'm your editor. SERVICES I OFFER Manuscript Evaluation Developmental Editing Line Editing Proofreading Ghostwriting and Interactive Game Plotlines and Dialogue ABOUT ME When I'm not reading for entertainment (an average of about book every two days), or reading for editorial purposes, I am usually organizing or cleaning something else! I will even organize other's closets for fun. In other words, I'm a total weirdo, I get it. Don't worry, I also love attending performances, finding great coffee shops, and finding unique, hole-in-the-wall, authentic foods from around the world. Thank goodness my home base is in one of the most diverse cities in the United States - Houston, Texas. We do not, contrary to popular misconception, wear cowboy hats or say "howdy" any more often than elsewhere else in the states. However, I do live on a ranch and help to care for 6 horses, 8 cats, and 2 snakes. I'm originally from Boulder, Colorado and while I do miss the mountains and wineries, the cultural opportunities down here are stellar. EDITING STYLE My zone of genius lies in organizing plot, developing story elements, character development, creating flow, and enhancing an author's personal style. I focus on the intention and voice of a piece as well as clarity, grammar, style and voice, consistency, and cohesiveness. My authors receive feedback from the "reader's perspective" in addition to my suggested edits to help keep them on target for their audience. EXPERIENCE + QUALIFICATIONS I have been writing and editing creatively and academically for nine years informally and have consistently produced effective and well-polished pieces. However, two years ago I decided to become professional. I began my foray into freelancing and now I get to work from home editing manuscripts every day. I have thoroughly fallen in love with the journey and have genuinely enjoyed every book and author I have had the pleasure to work with thus far. My educational background is in the fields of political science, international affairs, and second languages, so technical communication is second nature even as much as the creative is my passion! I am constantly increasing my formal qualifications by attending every online webinar and course possible - I'm an education junkie! Some of these courses and certifications include: - EFA copyediting series - EFA developmental editing series - EFA editing for YA series - EFA webinars for editing romance for YA, NA, and Adult audiences - EFA CMOS webinars - EFA webinars for sensitivity reading for DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion - EFA webinars on various subjects which continue to diversify and increase in number GENRES I EDIT Audience Categories - YA (Young Adult) - NA (New Adult) - Adult Fiction - Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) : Steampunk, Artificial Intelligence or Robot, Apocalyptic, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Alternate Universe, Multi-Dimensional, Time Travel, Futuristic or Contemporary, Space Opera, Technological, etc. - Fantasy : High or Low Fantasy, Urban/Grunge, Apocalyptic, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Utopian, Mythological/Mythic, Alternate History, Historical, Contemporary, Alternate World, Crossworld, Twisted Fairytale/Retelling, Fable, Magical Realism, Superhero, Supernatural, Paranormal, Romance, Romantasy, Epic, Dark, etc. - Thriller/Horror : Monster, Alien, Escape, Adventure, Mystery, Supernatural, Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc. - Mystery : Cozy, Crime, Closed Room, Epic or Adventure, Puzzles, Hardboiled, Heist, Accidental/Amateur Detective, etc. - Historical : Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Period, Alternate History, Multidimensional, Time-Travel, etc. - Romance : From Clean to Extra Spicy/Steamy Nonfiction - Blogs - Essays, Academic or for Publication - Articles for Journals, Magazines, or Publication - Theses for Masters and PHD in Business, Politics, World/International Affairs, Agriculture, etc. - Dissertations for Masters and PHD in Business, Politics, World/International Affairs, Agriculture, etc. - Self-Help/Personal Development Types of Manuscripts - Novel - Novella - Epic - Series - Short-story - Graphic Novel - Thesis - Dissertation - Articles - Essays

    Nail Your Copy! I craft resonant, research-driven, conversion-optimized copy to captivate your target audience, elevate your brand, and drive business growth. There's a litmus test for effective copy: Your target audience feels you have somehow burrowed into their brains... are speaking directly and persuasively to their situation, pain points, and needs... AND they take action as a result. How do I achieve that outcome? First: I learn your business and offering inside out. Gain a thorough understanding of your buyer personas, value prop, benefits, features, and potential friction points to overcome. Next: I go into deep research mode, immersing myself in your market à la Daniel-Day Lewis tackling a new dramatic role, to surface the key insights and voice of customer data that are the lifeblood of good copy. Then: once I've got the golden nuggets, I lay the groundwork in the planning phase, employing proven conversion copywriting principles. Finally: I produce your fresh, sparkling, conversion-optimized copy and deliver it to you in an editable Google Doc, coupled with a wireframe version so you can see how it looks visually laid out on a page. You will either be fully satisfied with the results at first OR I will make whatever revisions are necessary until you are. Speaking of client satisfaction, here's what others have said about our collaborations: "Adam was truly wonderful to work with. I needed help creating engaging, cohesive and understandable messaging for a new business concept and Adam was incredibly patient and helpful. He listened, asked great questions, and came up with some amazing ideas. His writing was fabulous and I cannot recommend him enough." "Adam is an incredibly talented copywriter. He listened exactly to what I wanted, made suggestions to meet my goals and continued to work with me in order to deliver outstanding results. I will not hesitate to work with him in the future." "Adam nailed this copy on the first go! I was very very impressed with his creativity, skill, and professionalism. I was thrilled with the result and wouldn't hesitate to hire Adam again." "Adam communicated well, set expectations, and followed through with quality work. He chose the right voice for our landing page and wrote persuasive copy with minimal direction. I'm using him again for additional services." A thumbnail on my background: Before my move into copywriting, I spent 5+ years in B2B tech (SaaS) sales where I cut my teeth crafting messaging to a broad range of buyer personas and stakeholders that ultimately led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue generated within a variety of verticals. When it became clear that writing was my strong suit, I transitioned to full-time copywriting. If you: ✅ Need copy for new Website or Landing page to drive sales ✅ Need to upgrade your existing copy and up your conversions ✅ Need complex messaging distilled into digestible content ✅ Want messaging that's engaging, persuasive, punchy, and on point ✅ Want copy that captures and conveys your unique voice and tone ✅ Want data-driven copy that connects with your target audience ✅ Could use a hand with your overall content strategy There's a good chance you just found the right person for your project.

    Hello, Dear Employer, I am seeking a career modification as I approach partial retirement. I am especially seeking remote work opportunities for which I'm well qualified, and your advertised job caught my eye and keen interest. My existing skills are highly transferable to your position. As expected, I have a Ph.D. in English, and thirty-plus years of experience teaching writing, editing academic and non-academic writing, assessing writing portfolios, and publishing books and articles myself in interdisciplinary scholarly fields. I have supervised a large number of graduate students in English, which has naturally meant significantly shaping and editing their dissertations. Among other core aspects of my academic profile, I’ve been an invited reader and editor for various professional academic and trade journals and publishers in the fields of English Studies, Women's Studies, South Asia Studies, and Creative Writing, including the Publication of the Modern Language Association, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Meridians, Routledge Publishing, Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Anthem Press, Sage Publishing, Ashgate Publishing, Nineteenth-Century Studies, Women's Studies International Forum, College Literature, Popular Communications, Cutbank Literary Journal, Tupelo Press, and others. I also regularly write book reviews for a variety of publishers and journals. Beyond academia, I’m a ghostwriter for select clients; a reader and editor for various professional journals and publishers in the fields of English Studies and Creative Writing; an Essay Review Team Editor for Crimson Education; an Academic Editor for TopEdit; and a developmental/fiction editor and proofreader for The Urban Writers and UpWork. I also read and rate for AP English for Educational Testing Services, and am a writing judge for the Global Undergraduate Awards (the Junior Nobel Prize). Last but not least, I am getting an MFA in Creative Writing (2021-2023) at Warren Wilson College, the highest-rated low-residency MFA program in the country, the coursework for which significantly advances my editorial skills and expertise. I have already published one novel and many short stories (prize-winning). I do thorough, professional, and passionately meticulous work. I am seeking flexible remote work as I’d like to transition into new opportunities, using my valuable and well-honed skills, and I hope you will consider me, as I do myself, an excellent candidate for your Associate Editor position. Thanks for your attention and consideration, Nandini Bhattacharya

    A savvy and meticulous proofreader/copy editor, and a passionate consumer of English language and literature, I will help you perfect your written product with my expert skills, honed over 15+ years of proofing, polishing, and correcting nonprofit and higher education communications. From emails, newsletters, press releases and web content to grant proposals, reports and procedures manuals, I will make your content sparkle, without the distraction of spelling, punctuation and grammar errors. Because that's what errors are--distractions that cause your reader to lose focus on your content, resulting in lost sales, fewer conversions and lack of engagement. Correct prose seizes your reader's attention and adds urgency to your call to action. I love the English language in all its permutations, and would love to help you get your message across. I especially love to help non-native speakers of English polish their writing!
