I am passionate about editing. I love having the opportunity to take a piece of content and make it the best it can be — by fixing grammatical errors, improving style, and in general creating a piece of writing that's enjoyable for people to read. I can edit, proofread, rewrite, or optimize content about any topic you can imagine in almost no time. Do you need engaging blog posts, compelling copy, or unique rewrites (free from Copyscape matches and AI text)? I'm your freelancer! I've been writing professionally for more than 12 years (and writing in my free time for much longer). In the past few years, I've used the skills helping clients I've acquired helping clients improve their content to shift my focus into editing and optimizing content for SEO purposes. My clients are always more than satisfied with my work — as you can tell from my overwhelmingly positive reviews. Since I grew up in the UK, I am familiar with the differences between British English and US English. I also speak Spanish and Italian at a conversational level. I do translations of both languages into English. I have experience with all types content: blog posts, articles, ebooks, newsletters, webpages, press releases, bios, and white papers. I also repurpose content from videos and podcasts, edit and proofread content my clients have written themselves, and optimize content to improve SEO using tools like Yoast SEO, SEMrush, and Surfer. I specialize in topics including: - Marketing (especially digital marketing, social media, and SEO) - Health (I'm often in demand for content about CBD products, nutrition, and pharmacology) - Education (including e-learning) - Small business advice - Pets and animal health - Fitness and sports science - Hair and beauty - HVAC and plumbing - Travel - Real estate - Law - Interior design My work has appeared in publications including Forbes, LSA Insider, Marketing Bitz, Business 2 Community, and UpCity. I am familiar with various marketing and project management tools, including Slack, Hubstaff, Asana, Teamwork, Monday, Basecamp, and ClickUp. I also use Microsoft Word and Excel, Google Docs, Pages, StatsCloud, Scalenut, and Clearscope. I'm always striving to stay up to date with new digital marketing best practices. I regularly take courses on HubSpot Academy and currently have the certifications for Content Marketing, Inbound Marketing, and Social Media. I have also taken the YouTube for Bosses course. I'm currently studying for a BSc (honours) degree in Combined STEM (Biology) and have been accepted onto an MSc in Equine Science for 2025.

Story, like music, is one of our oldest rituals. I am a fierce believer in the power of story and of dialogue, of earnest study and of contemplation––the power language gives us to transcend the limitations of the individual and to learn from the perspectives and experiences that lie beyond. To tell a story is to challenge presuppositions and to grapple with life's deepest questions—and to share this journey amongst ourselves, to learn from, to exhort, to empathize with one another. Most concisely, I suppose I love to study and relate with people, and what it is we do here. At six, inspired by the likes of Tolkien and CS Lewis, I resolved to be a fantasy author. For years this was my vision––and fantasy does still remain one of my greatest loves. As I've grown, however, I've come to see that there are deeper passions, which underpinned that initial interest: - What are we doing here? Can we find some meaning in life? Can we create our own? - Where is civilization headed? What will be the result of technological explosion? - How does our history affect us? How can we come to understand it better? - In what ways are we governed by our biology? In what ways might we 'transcend' or at least govern it? - How can we best manage relationships in this life? And so on. I am quite open to whatever interests me. I work in a range of mediums, including: - Novels - Personal development, philosophy, meditation, mindfulness (but open to other non-fiction genres) - Scriptwriting - Research and political writing (primarily geopolitics) - Speeches - Arguments, articles, essays . . . . essentially just studying, researching, discussing topics that touch upon human meaning and perception and relationship. I would love to partner with you, if you think I might resonate with your vision. To that end, I always request a skype call, or at least some detailed messaging, so that we can better get to know one another. You will find me highly communicative, empathetic, articulate, and attentive to detail. It is extremely important to me to understand your vision for your project. Outside of Upwork I work on some novels of my own, as well as a podcast/youtube channel which is only just beginning. I travel the world full time, and have known people of every sort of lifestyle, which has given me a very unique perspective on many dimensions of life. I've lived in 9+ countries across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. This has given me an extremely unique perspective regarding how human society evolves over time, and the differences (or lack thereof) that result. I understand how people communicate, how they share and interpret values and information. This understanding has greatly influenced my writing. Contact me if you wish for samples of my work! I will be genuinely honest concerning whether I think I am an ideal fit for your desires. I don't WANT a project unless it's enjoyable. Thanks for reading and I hope I may contribute to your vision! Blessings, Jesse Tate
