    Hi there! I am a professional writer with years of impeccable experience. I have written countless essays, articles, short stories, eBooks as well as novels, many of which have been published. I have previously offered my services on various platforms but this is the first time that I'm trying Upwork. I have a degree of Masters in English Literature. The sub-genres of fiction that I'm interested in are (but not limit to), horror, romance, science fiction, fantasy, thriller as well as mystery. I perfectly know how to mold my words such that my readers can not help but go on reading.

    Hello, I’m Kizzie, a creative writing graduate from Plymouth. I’m an extremely ambitious 23-year-old who has a bachelor's degree in English and creative writing, an extended diploma in art and design and I have independently studied business since secondary school. I recently took an Ignite business program at Plymouth Art University to expand my business knowledge even more. I studied English and Creative Writing for three years.

I’ve done some volunteer work, which I did to get better at working with people and gaining more experience in different work-style environments; I volunteered for an architecture project for Fingle Woods, where I worked with other courses, I trained to be a tutor for vulnerable students and volunteered as a judge for a writing competition for secondary school and college students. I was also a part of the creative writing society and meditation society at university.

    There is no story that is not worth telling. There are, however, bad ways to tell that story. This is where I come in. Crafting stories requires more than just passion, but that's a good place to start. Whether it's a student struggling to produce their podcast, or a client needing to make their work shine, I match passion with passion and then raise the bets with skill, experience, and research. My goal is to shine each project until it is professional and captivating. My experience both in Higher Ed and freelancing has taught me that each story, whether it's a fictional drama or a to-the-point press release, requires care, attention, and sincerity. This is why my students thrive and clients come back to me time and time again- I do more than facilitate a story, I believe in it. You've got a story to produce- I'm here to help.

    Hi everyone! I am a romance ghostwriter who has been writing for five years, but only a few of those are on Upwork! I have written 100+ novels. Many have made the top 100, top 50, and top 20 on Amazon. My favorite romances to write are dark, edgy, forbidden, a bit twisted, with a good anti-hero. I am highly experienced in every subgenre of romance, but I do not write regency/historical. Invitations regarding Regency and Historical will be declined. Something fun about me, other than typical work, is that I love crowd surfing. I'm a risk-taker! -Romance Author -International Best Selling Ghostwriter -Published Poet -Novels -Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Thanks for checking me out! Amanda 🖤

    Successful writing is about matching great style with top content. As an experienced freelance writer specialising in article writing and ghostwriting, I can provide you with that perfect combination, adapted to suit your needs. I have written books and articles on subjects including history, management, and finance. Much of my work is ghost-writing, so I am used to adapting to someone else's preferred style and tone. I have post-graduate qualifications in history, teaching, and social science, as well as a management diploma, and so am well equipped to research and write in these areas. As a fiction writer, I specialise in fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction. I have ghost-written novels in these genres, receiving average ratings above four stars on Amazon. I have also written westerns, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, and some romance. Creative writing is one of my passions, and this is reflected in the creative style I bring to all my writing. I have written web content for a range of companies from industrial tooling manufacturers to specialist web services. I can adapt my writing to suit your audience and subject matter. With over a decade of experience writing within a company and then as a freelancer, I am used to writing for a wide range of audiences and maintaining a style that will fit your brand.

    Hi, I'm Aishat! I have been involved in creative writing for a few years now, enough to have reached a level of mastery in CRAFTING GOOD CHARACTERS that leap out the page naturally, as well as devising UNIQUE RIVETING PLOTS that keep the readers yearning for more. My skills are not limited to a single genre---I will write that thriller you always wanted to work on but never had the time to address, that romance novel about destined lovers who refuse to succumb to the whims of fate or a horror novel featuring two best friends who become trapped in their own minds, devouring everything in their path. The client takes precedence in novel creation, which means that your feedback and critique will be positively received. Choose-your-own-adventure games are my personal favourite. I will write game scripts with flexible structures depending on the type of game. Role-playing video games like The Walking Dead/The Last of Us-type scripts or interactive story games which require the reader to pick a choice for a corresponding result. Whether you need help fleshing out the characters or have a vague concept yet to be developed into a full story, you are guaranteed dedicated service. I look forward to working with you on your project.

    Apart from having a Master's Degree in English Literature, being bilingual (English and Serbian as native languages), and speaking additional three languages fluently (Spanish, Hungarian and Bulgarian) I write short stories and children's poetry that have been published in numerous online and print publications. In the meantime, I have some experience translating, mostly to and from English. Also, I have been a freelance writer for the past 9 years, writing articles in my field of expertise as well as some less related fields, such as sociology, philosophy, music, art, etc. Basically, I like to think I can write on anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're looking for a quirky writer who'll knock your socks off with a story, look no further :)

After teaching high school English for 21 years, and college GED & creative writing for 2 years I suffered a spinal cord injury and can no longer teach in a classroom. But my passion for writing and teaching remains the same, and I now work as a private tutor and virtual learning tutor from home. I have also taught several online courses in creative writing, and I freelance as a writer, and proofreader/editor. I enjoy all aspects of the arts, from theatre to concerts, and enjoy photography, traveling, swimming, and cooking, among many other things. I am outgoing, patient, compassionate, detail-oriented, timely, and dependable. I enjoy helping others, and look forward to helping you!

    I am a published writer in the genres of horror, young adult fiction and fantasy. I have sold over seven thousand copies of my last book, and have been contracted to write several short story series. Recently, I have been hired to ghostwrite many short stories in various genres of fiction, including romance, horror, sci-fi and more. I have also worked on several film scripts. When I'm not writing (which is rare), I teach middle and high school English Literature, as well as drama and film. I have a successful creative writing course in Cairo, and have helped several writers find their niches and develop their work. Furthermore, I have over seven years of experience as a journalist and editor, my articles appearing in several local publications. Despite the constant work flow, I always feel the need to keep writing and reading, and that's where ghostwriting comes in! Allow me to work on your project and provide you with more than just a story!

What is a short story?

A short story is a type of prose that is generally intended to be read in one sitting. This brevity generally means a short story, even when part of an anthology or series, can be enjoyed as a self-contained complete narrative.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in short story writing professionals:

  • Short story writing
  • Creative writing
  • Ghostwriting
  • Proofreading and editing

Why hire a short story writer?

The trick to finding top short story writers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find a published author to regularly contribute content to your romance themed blog? Or are you looking for a ghostwriter to bring your pulp fiction short to life? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a short story writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced short story writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their short story writing more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
