✔ FICTION: I am an experienced author with eight successful and critically acclaimed historical novels in print. The 'Agent of Rome' series is published in the UK by Hodder/Hachette and can be found on Amazon, Goodreads and elsewhere. Described by The Times as 'gripping', the series has also been translated into Spanish and Dutch. Other than historical fiction, my specialist genres are sci-fi, fantasy and thrillers of all kinds. I have ghosted ten novels for clients as well as numerous novellas and short stories.
✔ SCREENPLAYS: Four of my own scripts have been optioned and one, 'Angel Three', will be released next year. The Cold War thriller was directed by the writer of an Oscar-nominated film and stars an award-winning actress. I have ghosted eight screenplays for clients. Three of these were written for Upwork clients, all of whom posted excellent feedback.
✔ GAMES: I have created content for many types including RPGs, board games, online games and phone-based games: I have crafted countless introductions, missions, character profiles and background stories. I wrote four mysteries for international crime-solving sensation 'Clued Upp'; these have now been played by over one million people in more than fifty countries.
✔ EXPERIENCE: I have completed over 200 jobs on Upwork and I am one of the highest-earning freelancers in the creative writing category. I pride myself on my ability to deliver projects of the highest possible standard - on time. Check out my portfolio for examples of my work. As a teacher with ten years experience, I am a considerate, constructive mentor and a trustworthy, committed individual.
As a writer and editor, I focus on producing a readable, high quality end product that you can be proud of having your name on. As a ghostwriter experienced in producing everything from full length fiction to biographies and works of history, you can trust me to hit exactly the right tone for your project. As someone who values communication and trust, you can be sure of a professional approach that puts you at the heart of things, for an end product tailored to your needs.
My current work focuses on a mix of writing and editing, backed by substantial experience in both and a PhD level education. I particularly enjoy working on fiction with clients, having worked on at least a hundred novels to date, and books I have worked on have gone on to feature in the NYT top twenty.

I rewrite ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini drafts into human-passing prose that beats AI detectors and sounds authentically like you.
AI writes fast. AI writes flat. I fix the flat part.
You have an AI-generated draft. Maybe it's a novel. Maybe it's a self-help book. Maybe it's a research paper or blog post.
And something feels… off.
The sentences are grammatically correct but soulless. The characters make logical choices but don't feel real. The arguments are structured but lack authority. And worst of all, you ran it through an AI detector, and it got flagged.
That's where I come in.
→ What I Actually Do
I don't just "edit" your AI draft. I perform a humanization pass that addresses three specific failures of generative AI:
1. Removing "AI Tells."
AI has predictable patterns. Overuse of transition words (however, furthermore, consequently). Cliché signposting (in conclusion, it is important to note). Robotic sentence structures (subject-verb-object on repeat). I remove all of it.
2. Adding Narrative Intelligence
AI knows facts. It does not understand subtext, dramatic irony, emotional beats, or voice. I add:
Sensory details (what does the room smell like?)
Interiority (what is the character thinking but not saying?)
Rhythm variance (short punchy sentences. Then a long, winding, breathless one.)
3. Fact-Checking & Hallucination Removal
AI lies confidently. I verify dates, names, statistics, and citations. If the AI invented a source, I will remove it or replace it with a real one.
→ Services I Offer
Fiction Humanization (Novels & Short Stories)
Your AI-generated plot + my character depth and dialogue
Rate: $0.03–$0.06 per word, depending on revision depth

Non-Fiction Humanization (Self-Help, Business, Memoir)
Your AI draft + my authority-building structure and anecdotes
Rate: $0.04–$0.08 per word
Includes: Fact-checking + tone alignment + chapter-level flow
Academic Humanization (Essays, Papers, Literature Reviews)

Bulk AI Content Rewriting (Blogs, Newsletters, Sales Copy)

Rate: Flat project fee or $0.02 per word for high volume
Includes: SEO optimization + keyword preservation + readability scoring
→ My Process (So You Know What to Expect)
Step 1: You send me your AI-generated draft (any length) and tell me your goal (e.g., "pass as human," "sound like a YA novel," "meet journal submission standards").
Step 2: I edit your first 500 words for free. You see exactly how I transform robotic prose into human writing.
Step 3: If you approve, I will complete the full manuscript on an agreed timeline. I deliver in two formats: "clean" (final) and "tracked changes" (so you see every edit).
Step 4: You run the final draft through any AI detector. If it flags more than 10% as AI-generated, I do a second pass at no charge.
→ Proof That This Works
I have over 15 years of professional writing experience—ghostwriting novels, academic papers, and nonfiction books long before AI existed. That means I understand why human writing works, not just how to mimic it.
Recent results from real clients:
Humanized a 45k-word sci-fi novel originally written by ChatGPT → passed ZeroGPT at 98% human → client published on KDP within 3 weeks
Rewrote 12 AI-generated blog posts for a fintech startup → organic traffic increased 40% in 60 days → zero detection flags
Edited an AI-drafted literature review for a PhD candidate → passed Turnitin with 4% similarity → client successfully defended
→ My Guarantee
If you are not satisfied with the first 1,000 words I humanize, you pay nothing. No questions asked. I will even tell you if your project is better suited for another freelancer.
