Ghostwriting Writing is my passion and it shows in my writing. A freelance writer since 2007, I embarked on ghostwriting romance novels in 2014. Since that time I’ve written over two million words for my clients about sexy aliens, shifters, rock stars, billionaires, and bikers. I take my readers to the outskirts of the galaxy to the highways of America with a hog rumbling between their legs. My stories feature plenty of romance, twists, and turns with a good HEA. I'm sure I can turn out a quality story for you that will sell well. Currently scheduling work for novels of any genre. Astrology Since romance writing overtook my business I no longer freelance for astrology articles except for grandfathered clients. Sorry.

Helping authors and publishers craft swoon‑worthy romances, intricately woven mysteries, and historically rich narratives—with precision and heart. I love partnering with authors who are ready to elevate their stories from good to unforgettable. With over a decade of editing experience, I specialize in spotting plot holes, inconsistencies, and narrative gaps that often slip past other eyes, ensuring your manuscript is both compelling and cohesive. As a native US English speaker with extensive experience in editing and proofreading, my goal is to ensure your ideas shine through with clarity and impact. I specialize in refining flow, enhancing readability, and tailoring each project to your unique voice, timeline, and creative vision. I’m fluent in both US and British English conventions, allowing me to tailor your manuscript to the appropriate audience with precision and consistency. Whether you need detailed feedback or discreet technical fixes, I offer flexible support to meet your needs. My passion lies in fiction, and I’ve worked across a wide range of genres—including Romance, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mysteries, Legal Thrillers, and more. I bring a sharp eye for detail and a deep respect for historical accuracy, especially in Regency‑era stories and Scottish Highlander novels. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature with a minor in Creative Writing, and I am a proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), upholding industry‑recognized standards of quality and professionalism. My lifelong love of reading naturally evolved into a career in writing and editing. Typos and awkward phrasing make me wince—so let me help you polish your manuscript until it gleams.

I have been telling stories consistently since I was performing puppet shows in the living room as a kid. While my puppet friends and I have parted ways, I still cannot stop myself from seeking out stories and comedy - whether that's in everyday conversations or in my writing. In 2012 I began working on my own personal humor blog satirizing culture, politics, and myself. Working with kids from 2016 to 2019 also gave me an insight into young minds, helping me develop my own sense of creativity and imagination. While studying to get my degree in Writing from Eastern University, I discovered my passion for collaboration as editor-in-chief of Inklings, the college literary magazine. I also had the opportunity to write several short plays alongside the actors that would be performing in them, which was a valuable lesson in learning how to write for and with other people. I am constantly using this skill as a freelancer, balancing my own creative voice with the needs of my clients. My favorite projects have been the children's books, middle grade books, and young adult novels that I have ghostwritten. However, I can write for any age, and have written many genres, from humor, to science fiction, to fantasy, and thriller. For me, the most rewarding aspect of writing is helping others find their voices through believable characters and intriguing plots. This is not the only way to tell a story, though, as I have also helped create various funny scripts for YouTube, the stage, and other types of media. Is your story already written, you just need someone else to take a look and suggest improvements? I can edit it as well, telling you the hard truths while sticking to your vision. If you have a story you'd like to tell, feel free to reach out and I'd love to discuss how I can help. As an editor, I've worked with authors from all over the world, and am currently a freelance editor with Indigo River Publishing based in Pensacola, Florida. With Indigo River, I work as an editor and as an author coach, communicating with writers to help make sure their books are as perfect as they can be - all while sticking with their original visions. I can write at a fixed rate of $0.19 per word (for books of 10,000+ words) or $0.21 per word (for books below 10,000 words). My editing rate is around $0.11 per word, depending on how extensive the edits need to be. I can work on hourly projects too, and I estimate being able to write between 400-800 words per hour and edit between 800-1,600 words per hour.

Storytelling has been a passion of mine since I was a child and I've spent the past six years turning that passion into a career. I graduated from Arcadia University in 2018 where I studied communications, creative writing, and cinema. I've participated in several workshops in and out of school to help sharpen my skills as a writer. As a ghostwriter, collaboration is important to me. I am always available to talk and discuss new ideas with clients. It is my job to take your ideas and turn them into fully fledged stories. I'm detail oriented, focused, and organized so you can trust that I am on top of all the projects I'm working on. As a developmental editor, my experience with narrative storytelling will help you refine your manuscripts. I will read your manuscript and leave comments in the document highlighting specific suggestions. You will also receive a detailed editorial report. When I'm not working on projects for clients, I'm working on my own romantic comedies that I'm hoping to publish within the next year!
