I am a full-time writer who currently calls London, Ontario, Canada home. I am passionate about film and literature, and graduated with distinction from the University of Western Ontario with a B.A. in English and Film Studies. As literature was the primary focus of my English degree, I have a firm grasp on story structure, plotting, and character arcs, and have read widely in many genres and styles. I also have a deep love of mythology, which I have studied extensively. Together these interests give me a keen eye for great storytelling, as well as the effective use of archetypes. I excel at film analysis and criticism as I have extensive knowledge of film techniques such as cinematography, editing, and structure. I also have a solid understanding of film industry history as well as the origins and development of the major genres and European film movements. From 2011 through 2014 when it went offline, I wrote a column for the film critique website Picture Show Pundits. My articles for PSP were very in-depth and can be found in my portfolio. I also currently maintain my own website which explores film, mythology, and literature, also available in my portfolio. Finding a unique, thought provoking perspective is extremely important to me and I take the extra time, care, and effort to do so. Likewise, I do not shy away from dealing with difficult or controversial material if needed. I have great research skills and research extensively. In addition to having a lot of great reference material in my personal library, I have access to my university's libraries and databases if required. In my writing I strive for clear, expressive language. I am fluent with Microsoft Office products, and have good Photoshop skills. I approach every project with the highest regard for quality and care deeply about delivering the best work possible. I am always open to communication and respond in a timely manner. I hope to work with you soon.

Hi! I'm Temilola I'm an enthusiastic writer with FIVE YEARS WORTH OF EXPERIENCE IN BOTH FICTION AND ARTICLE WRITING JOBS. I have completed my jobs successfully and have never left a client high and dry. My writing philosophy is to PLEASE MY CLIENTS, BRING TO LIVE THEIR THOUGHTS WITH MY IMAGINATION AND SKILLS, KEEP THE READERS ENGAGED and TO PASS A CLEAR MESSAGE. Without those, I see no reason else to write either fiction or article writing jobs as they both depend on these qualities. I read a lot and in turn have developed a knack for imitation as well as originality. Thus, my writing skills are flexible and can be of any tone that you require. I write over a number of fiction genres; romance, crime, paranormal and sci-fi quite well. On a good day, I can produce a 20k manuscript in 2 DAYS. With articles, I have written quite a number of articles, blogs and website contents on topics such as lifestyle, sports and finance. I graduated in the department of mechanical engineering with adequate knowledge on engineering software such as the 3D DRAWING AND SIMULATIONS. My Goal is Customer Satisfaction.
