I'm a storyteller. Brands, creative, or anything in between, I believe that story is what makes the written word fly. I have an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and plenty of experience in both the copywriting and creative writing sectors. Copywriting needs? Content writing needs? Head to my specialized profiles (to your left). As a trained screenwriter, I also offer scripted content services. I have experience ghostwriting scripts for individuals and production companies, and would be happy to help you tell your story. The bottom line is: there's no writing gig, no storytelling opportunity, that's too big or too small. I'd be honored to do what I can to help get a piece of you, your brand, or your idea out there.

“One of the most talented writers I’ve ever seen.” As a ghostwriter, I receive your story idea at any stage of development and transform it into a completed work of art—to be authored under your name. I do the work. You reap the spoils. A published author with over a decade of professional experience, I’ve ghostwritten numerous books and screenplays for a diverse range of clients that include best-selling authors, screenwriters, actors, filmmakers, CEOs, and tech entrepreneurs. I’ve worked both as a freelancer and as a contractor for agencies in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with a number of my authored titles being published through various presses and a number of scripts currently in production. The genres I write in are (mostly) comedy, drama, memoir, mystery, and science-fiction. However, I specialize in writing upmarket thrillers. What is an upmarket thriller? The ultimate genre, really. “Upmarket” is an industry term used to describe stories that contain elements of both commercial and literary fiction. Stories that take existing genre tropes and add to them deeper characterization, an elevated writing style, and penetrating questions about the human condition. A “thriller,” on the other hand, is a genre defined by its reliance on mystery, suspense, and an overall foreboding tone. Characters are duplicitous, expectations are subverted, and the line between good and evil is murky to non-existent. In other words, upmarket thrillers combine the best of both worlds. They use commercial tropes as the digestible framework with which to explore complex metaphysical themes. Simply put, whether a novel or screenplay, they are enigmatic stories well-told. Dark and exciting narratives that leave the audience with thought-provoking questions long after the final pages have been turned. And whether one of the many sub-genres—crime, action, legal, historical, spy, political—they are perhaps the most cinematic of all stories. No Country for Old Men, The Maltese Falcon, Gone Girl, The Silence of the Lambs, Casino Royale, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, A Clockwork Orange, The Talented Mr. Ripley—all are upmarket thrillers. Shows like True Detective, Breaking Bad, and Peaky Blinders would fit into the category as well. You can see now why I’ve made them my speciality. In terms of services, I offer the full gamut here on Upwork, from narrative consulting and editing existing works to creating whole stories from scratch. So whether you've a rough draft finished or merely a vague concept in your head, I’ll take your existing material and draft it into a compelling and professional narrative. Upmarket thriller or not. So are you ready to make your dream novel or screenplay a reality? Then reach out and let’s get started. I can’t wait to hear your story—and can’t wait for you to see it on the page! All the best, Charles

This is your one stop profile for everything writing! Whether you’re a business owner, blogger, or simply anyone who needs anything written, I can provide you with quality material under a short timeframe. In today’s world where there is immense competition for people’s attention, you need a strong material that is catchy to grab attention, and quality enough to hold your audience for the duration of the piece. I am a generalist writer- yes, I just used one of the most scorned words out there, ‘Generalist’, but really, what this means is that I have had the opportunity of writing across various niches and this experience has taught me how to undertake any writing project and successfully deliver. Because today’s information race is also a game of algorithms, I have undertaken training (that has proven worthwhile in my career, I should add) under Search Engine Optimization so that I know the best practices to give you an edge over your competitors or simply, get your work to more eyes as the case maybe. I am open to work and if you need me, I believe there an option somewhere in this page to help you contact me. As always, I'm at your service.

I am a game writer and developer and a traditionally-published author, here to help bring your project to life. I've been writing full-time for well over a decade, and have authored hundreds of satirical and informative articles, several 60,000 word (or longer) game scripts with branching narrative and multiple endings, a RPG game book and three full-length novels. My debut novel was a finalist for two Arthur Ellis awards and a Bony Blithe. Beyond my work as a writer, I am also an experienced game developer and project manager. While working as the Narrative Manager for Psychose Interactive, I handled many aspects of narrative direction and implemention from producing game design documents and detailed synopses to providing direction on voice acting and motion capture. I pride myself on my ability to work seamlessly with diverse, multi-disciplinary teams while exceeding client expectations. For those who prefer fixed rates, I am also open to discussing pricing at around 15 to 25 cents per word, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Two rounds of minor revisions are included in that price.

If you have the urge to create a compelling story and just don't have the time, I got your back. I am a full-time writer that has experience in writing novels, screenplays, video game and board game narratives, as well as some experience in manga writing as well. I am a published author and my first book is set to release in 2024. I will work with you to create a glorious work of art that you will love and cherish for years to come. My preferred genres are fantasy fiction and science fiction writing but I have the capability of doing any writing that is needed of me. My prices vary from project to project, so if you have an offer for me, don't hesitate. My regular rate is 0.25c per word. From Fantasy and Science Fiction to vast open worlds and breathtaking expanses. I follow one simple rule, remarkability. If I can't see the glorious world I create in my head, it's not good enough yet. If you need a short story about a research team stuck on a planet alone with limited oxygen, I can make it into something as breathtaking as their limited O2. If you need a unique world with creatures you've never seen before thriving in their own ecosystem, I have their entire species mapped out, including who and what they eat.

I am a scientist by training. I studied Zoology at Imperial College, London, UK. I have an MSc and a PhD in Neurophysiology from the University of Edinburgh, UK. During my research years, I published papers in scientific journals. After finishing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada, I started to gravitate towards the arts. I enrolled in a Film Studies program at Ryerson University, Toronto. Since then, I have written scripts for documentary films, a children's TV series, short films, and a play. One of the highlights of my career as a writer was the position of head writer for the children's television show, Sesame Street, Palestine. My focus in the last couple of years has been the field of education, specifically science education.

I was called down to Paramount off my very first spec script. At the time, Star Trek allowed 50 people a year to come to the William S. Hart building and pitch ideas. To earn that pitch, I beat thousands of other writers with my spec submission. I've been writing ever since. I give seminars at Universities and in Los Angeles for organizations like Colab. I've won pitching contests and excel at synopsis and loglines. I've also produced films for Netflix, Eone, Lionsgate, and MGM. I'm a writer at heart, though. Experienced writers know that writing is not a science, it's an art. You can't rely on structure. Structure is a guide. Structure will not elicit emotion from the audience. Your story needs to. In the few words above, you have everything you need to know about my experience level. Showrunners and Directors believe they can be writers because they've studied how to follow some "structure recipe". Structure is a science. Story is an art. Know the difference.

I like to think of things in terms of purpose. I believe my purpose is to make meaningful connections with others. I have experience in copy and content writing, screenwriting, writing music, and playing in a band. In each of those, the goal is the same. I want people to say to themselves, "this is someone who is communicating something they believe in and genuinely trying to make a real connection."

I've been working with words since I learned what words are. I love the way they let me deliver an urgent message, a funny anecdote, or essential information to the people who will want to know. As an editor, I help writers put what they want to say into clear and actionable English. I have been associate editor of a publishing house, editor of two newspapers, and dramaturg for a collective of playwrights. I am currently the editor of a small publishing house in Nova Scotia, and the editor for the Apache Royale project of the Apache Software Foundation. As a content provider I have written web content, marketing collateral, advertising (print, radio, and web), brochures, speeches, books, screenplays and incidental materials. In the software world I have been a part of, and have occasionally managed, technical documentation teams for several companies large and small. I have produced help documentation, knowledge-base articles, tutorials, and many kinds of internal documents. Your message is important to you. Therefore how you say it is very important to me.
