    Native English speaker/writer and published author. Owner and Chief Editor of Novel Treasure Publishing company. (see website at noveltreasurepublishing.com). Having served as a professional editor and writer for more than twelve years now, working with both fiction and nonfiction, my passion revolves around helping authors and publishers find the full potential of their manuscripts. I have an excellent eye for detail, and with my extensive background as both a ghostwriter and editor, I can be depended upon to offer professional guidance at every turn, eliminate errors and inconsistencies, and meet all deadlines. My clients are best-selling and award-winning authors, established publishers, and managers at Fortune Global 500 companies from all over the world. Experience the magic of your writing through an audience (reader)-centered empathy combined with editing strategies that attract more readers, bring on conversion power, and convey stories that stay with readers long after the last page has been turned. Specializing in longer story manuscripts, I help clients divide huge manuscripts into trilogies or series novels. I also edit to keep writing style, tone, characterizations, perspectives, dialogue punctuation, and other consistencies in place over the long haul. Such tasks involve tracking story development through many details in long written works and ensuring effective transitional writing. I also work as a writing coach, matching my talents to my clients' needs. I hire out as a 'book fixer' more often than as a ghostwriter. This means that I work through an already completed novel, elevating the writing and 'fixing' issues that come up in relation to the story, character, pacing, genre, etc. When it comes to nonfiction, I take on very few ghostwriting positions, and generally only consider projects where an author has already developed a fair amount of content that I can work from in terms of content, voice, and style. In each of these roles, I only take on projects that suit my skills--so, if you ask me to edit or write in a genre where I have no experience, I'll be the first to tell you I'm not your ideal fit. But, when I do take on a project, you can be sure that it will become a top priority and receive the attention and skill it deserves.

    My recent employment experience involved writing over 3,000 short-form articles highlighting innovative practices for more than 1,200 local governments across 20 countries. My educational background is primarily rooted in academic/clinical research settings. I have assisted with the management, analysis, and interpretation of data from an NIH-funded multisite community-based participatory research study in my graduate program. However, I imagine that there are many qualified freelancers available for hire on this site with similar experience and skills. Therefore, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the three reasons why I believe you should specifically hire me for the job you have in mind. 1. My schedule is incredibly flexible. I can match the timing of my work to your specific needs. You will always receive an immediate response from me. 2. I am comfortable working in essentially any setting on any topic. Examples from my professional background include: transcribing physician orders on an adult crisis stabilization unit at a psychiatric clinic, administering clinical rating scales and assessing suicidal ideation at a neuroscience research institute, and collecting bio-specimens from at-risk Latinx middle schoolers for a research study aiming to lower rates of adolescent drug use. A few years ago, I started an independent board game company and developed two successful crowdfunding campaigns. 3. I bring more than just technical skills to any job. I am also an excellent communicator with an easy-going personality. My experience working in child-care has taught me the value of patience and kindness. My experience as a standardized patient actor has trained me in the art of providing specific and useful feedback. I think my biggest professional weakness is my discomfort at trying to sell myself by listing my various skills, accomplishments, previous projects, etc. On the other hand, if you liked this professional overview then I'm happy to report this is actually me at my weakest! I look forward to the opportunity to work for you.

I was responsible for keeping a database of over nearly 5000+ coupons for approximately 1500 online stores up-to-date, posting deals daily for online stores, and finding new affiliate programs to apply for. I also have my own entertainment website all about TV, where I post weekly and daily TV schedules, interviews with stars and producers, giveaways, and TV news and reviews.

    I have extensive experience in multiple genres of fiction, but if I was honest, most of my experience is in paranormal romance. On a personal note, I do love to work in modern fantasy, it carries a large appeal to me, but I also enjoy to work in mystery, suspense and horror. I've been ghostwriting for years now, and it's my primary means of support, so I can definitely put full time hours into any project that I'm given and I'm always eager to discuss new projects. I also have a BA in Creative writing, so I've put the time in to actually study this. Just let me know what kind of things you're looking for and we can hammer out a price and timeframe depending on what else I have on my place. I'm always open to hearing about rush jobs, and while I can't guarantee that I'll take them, I'll be honest as to whether or not I can work it into my schedule or not. I also answer most messages within 24 hours, so don't be afraid to send me anything you think that I might be good at. Outlines I can usually get done fairly quickly and between working on other projects.

    I'm a Christian minister and graduate theology student that is also involved in all things creative and entrepreneurial. Written communication and creativity are some of my biggest strengths! My specialty is writing on Christianity and theology, but my personal interests in sports, music, and culture also enable me to produce great content in those areas. My studies have given me experience in understanding and applying theology, Biblical Greek and Hebrew, Biblical interpretation, church history, preaching and apologetics. I've had numerous opportunities to put these things into practice as I am ministering at a church in Kansas City. I am experienced in preaching, studying and teaching the Bible, and writing content varying from a few hundred to tens of thousands of words. I have written everything from graduate research papers and sermons to articles and children's Bible lessons. I'm able to tailor my communication in the way which best caters to your target audience! I have also owned and operated my own faith-based clothing business for the past 4 years, so I'd love to use my experience in graphic design, marketing, and entrepreneurship to take your project to the next level. I'd love to help you bring your ideas to life through written, visual, and/or aural communication. I'm looking forward to working together to make the vision for your project a reality!

    I'm a versatile author passionate about storytelling rooted in real-life experience. My writing spans fiction and nonfiction, encompassing genres such as coming-of-age, horror, romance, fantasy, and how-to guides. After serving in both the Army and the Navy from 2000 to 2014, including during the main invasion of Baghdad in 2003, I earned a degree in network engineering before fully embracing my path as a writer. My background provides a unique perspective on discipline, resilience, and human complexity, which I bring to every story I write. I've written everything from research papers and restaurant critiques to a full-length novel, always focusing on authentic voice and emotional impact. Whether crafting deeply personal narratives or offering practical guidance, I aim to connect with people through honesty, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose.
