Hire the Best Science Fiction Writers

Whether you're looking for a thoughtful beta reader, a developmental editor, or a detailed manuscript review, my goal is the same: to help you strengthen your story while preserving your unique voice. Many writers reach a point where they've revised their manuscript several times but still feel that something isn't quite working. Perhaps the pacing slows, a character's motivation isn't fully convincing, or the emotional impact isn't landing the way you hoped. Sometimes it's simply difficult to see your own story the way a reader will experience it. That's where I come in. I read as both an engaged reader and an experienced editor, looking at the overall reading experience while providing practical, actionable feedback you can confidently apply during revision. My goal isn't to rewrite your story—it's to help you tell it more effectively. Services I primarily work with authors who are looking for: • Developmental Editing • Manuscript Reviews & Editorial Assessments • Beta Reading • Copyediting (select projects) My Approach My feedback focuses on the elements that most shape a reader's experience, including: • Character development and motivation • Story structure and pacing • Emotional resonance and reader engagement • Dialogue and point of view • Plot development and narrative flow • Clarity, consistency, and timeline issues My background includes a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, a Master's degree in Counseling, and professional training in editing. Together, they shape the way I approach every manuscript. I pay close attention not only to the words on the page, but also to character relationships, emotional authenticity, and the overall reading experience. I believe the strongest editorial relationships are collaborative. My role is to ask thoughtful questions, identify opportunities for growth, and help you create the strongest version of the story you want to tell while respecting your voice and your vision. Genres I regularly work with: • Mystery & Thriller • Cozy Mystery • Romance (closed-door/clean preferred) • Character-driven Fiction • Memoir & Narrative Nonfiction What You'll Receive Depending on your project, deliverables may include: • A detailed editorial letter or reader report • Feedback on story structure, pacing, character development, and reader engagement • Inline comments throughout the manuscript where helpful • Clear, practical suggestions for revision and next steps Clients often tell me they appreciate that my feedback is thoughtful, organized, and easy to apply. I aim to be honest without being discouraging—highlighting what's already working while providing practical suggestions to strengthen your manuscript. If you're looking for a collaborative editor who will approach your story with care, curiosity, and an eye for both the big picture and the details, I'd love to learn more about your project.

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.

I am a freelance ghostwriter of four and a half years standing, specializing in the editing and writing of fiction. On behalf of individual clients, I have written short stories as short as 3000 words and whole novels ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 words. I also have edited many unfinished or rough manuscripts in various stages of completion, ranging from line editing to full rewrites. I have a working knowledge of MS Word, Notepad and Excel as it relates to manuscripts. As to work under my own name, I was a regular columnist and reviewer for the website Innsmouth Free Press. I have two published short stories to my credit, "Grand Guginol" for Short Story Me! and "Faces" for the inaugural issue of the now-defunct New Zenith Magazine. I have also written my first script for a video game, the forthcoming visual novel "Starlight Drifter" for Dharker Studio. This last ties in with my education, as I am a holder of Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Animation (with a concentration on Video Games) through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. I promise that once I am hired, I can deliver work that is timely and up to specifications. I am also a great believer in communication and am more than willing to talk through any concerns you may have about our projects together. I look forward to hearing from you.

Most scripts die in the first 10 seconds. Your money burns. You don't need a typist. You need a retention engineer. I'm Rob. I engineer attention. Here's the secret most writers won't tell you: good grammar doesn't keep people watching. Pacing does. Tension does. Knowing exactly when to drop the beat, when to cut the scene, and when to let the silence do the heavy lifting. That's what keeps eyes glued to the screen. How do I do it? I combine Hollywood narrative structure with U.S. Embassy tactical precision. I've spent my life in high-stakes environments. From running K-9 security teams in Iraq to directing award-winning 2D animation. I know how to read a room. I know how to research a topic until the details bleed authenticity. And I know how to turn a boring brief into a story that actually converts. The Receipts: Netflix Pipeline: My sci-fi graphic novel "Noah Savage" is in active development. 2.5M+ TikTok Views: I don't guess what goes viral. I build the retention traps that make it happen. 28 Industry Awards: Best Animation, Best Script. Craft matters. Directed & Animated "Wrath of Titans" & "Wrath of Argos": Epic 2D animation, 10+ awards between them. Top Rated on Upwork: 100% Job Success. Zero drama. I just deliver. What I Actually Do For You: • Ghostwriting: Books, memoirs, screenplays, thought leadership. I become your voice and write like I've lived your story. • Scriptwriting: True crime, thrillers, docs, explainers, pilots, short films. (I make the boring stuff dangerous.) • 2D Animation & Storyboarding: Clean visual flow. Retention-optimized pacing. Character design. Full animation direction from concept to final cut. • Beta Reading & Developmental Editing: I tear your draft down to the studs. From deep-dive beta reads to full structural and line editing, I rebuild your story so it actually breathes. I don't do "fluff." I don't miss deadlines. And I don't hand you a first draft and call it a day. Got a project that's bleeding attention? Send me your brief, your raw footage, or your messy draft. I'll map out a retention-focused game plan within 24 hours. Let's build something that actually performs.
