I’m a detail-oriented content writer with over six years of experience on Upwork. Fluent in English grammar, spelling, and composition, I’ve written, rewritten, edited, and proofread hundreds of blog articles across a wide range of topics, including beauty, food, DIY, construction, and home improvement. I’m also a strong researcher who can quickly get up to speed on new topics. I take the time to understand the subject, organize information clearly, and present it in a way that’s easy to read and engaging. I also have experience in creative writing. I’ve helped edit and proofread short and long-form fiction for various clients, offering feedback for improvement. For personal projects, I’ve written multi-chapter stories, short fiction, character backstories, and prose. This experience helps me bring a more natural and story-driven approach to blog writing when needed. Communication is important to me. I’m always happy to ask questions and clarify instructions to ensure I deliver exactly what’s needed. Outside of Upwork, I’ve also helped students polish academic papers and college theses. On the creative side, I’m also a digital artist. I use Procreate to illustrate character art in a style that blends anime and Western influences. I’ve taken paid commissions for original character art and have designed concert and fan event freebies like stickers, pins, and prints.

Way before High School, bolstered by my love of reading books from the old Archie comics to mainstream media novelties such as Twilight, Harry Potter and such, I worked on writing as a hobby--started writing on my old iPhone 3G, wherein I still fondly remember writing around 39 chapters of a story I practically derived after playing Harvest Moon, towards today where I build up scenarios and worldbuilding for my friends for RP sessions. I also helped on writing up essays since High School, preferably English writing to Historical topics, but those are mainly schoolwork and not the kind of Chicago-styled, or the other professional type of essay writing. However, I'm not averse to such styles, and have even tried picking up on Chicago-style writing myself. Today, I work mainly on a side job my friend took me into, a small fictional novel of his standards that I get paid by. I wanted a side job in order to not burn myself out on writing a single type of a topic/genre, which is why I joined this website.

To say that I love romance would be an understatement. I have been reading since I was in fourth grade and started writing romantic scenes in a spare notebook to share with my friends. I grew up to be a lover of love, and it made writing romance easy for me. Not only that, but with my journalism degree, it makes writing so much easier because I edit my work as I go. I have a keen eye for errors and in our line of work, we are taught to make writeups 110% percent before publishing. I am also a starting author with a few published books on self-publishing websites. I can write and edit novels, fiction, flash fiction, short stories, and even poetry. I can write articles like feature, news, editorial, opinion, and maybe sports, too. I do magazine and newspaper layouts as well. Editing and copyreading come with the course as well so I can do that as well. I am also an essayist, have written several essays, and won several competitions for them. There is a fine line between technical writing and creative writing, yes. I just happened to know both.

Your search for a writer ends here. Actually, let me rephrase that: your search for a reliable and experienced writer-slash-all-arounder whom you can message at almost any time of the day ends here. Since 2016, I've done many jobs from being a teacher to an administrative assistant. Realizing that a monotonous regular 9-5 job isn't for me, I turned to freelancing and haven't looked back ever since. While I dabble in graphics, music, website development, coding, and shop management, my primary skill and cup of tea has always been writing. Writing, and writing, all sorts of things. Areas of Expertise: - Articles - Blog posts - Product descriptions - Web content - E-book - Game content - Guidebooks - Instruction materials - Novels - Short stories - Comic strips Genres I prefer: - Fantasy - Romance (Werewolf, Shifter, Historical, Paranormal, Fantasy) - Horror - Thriller - Humor - YA - Children's books (Middle grade and up) Niches I excel at: - Personal Finance - Mindset - Metaphysical topics - History - Conspiracy/Esoteric - Apps - Websites/IoT - Gaming - Productivity Well, I've done all that. And I'm planning to do more. I know a bit about WordPress, Amazon, and Etsy. Also, I've done some social media management. If you need someone to upkeep your website's content and write it at the same time, I can do that as well. When it comes to graphics, I work on Photoshop and Canva. I'm also well-versed in both GDocs and Microsoft, even when it comes to designing and formatting. If you want me to use another software that I'm not an expert at, I'd happily learn it. I love learning new things, so, having to use new software is just part of the fun. Feel free to check out my portfolio and hit the message button anytime. Or, you can always go look at my projects to see if there's any fit for your needs. Ciao!

I'm a writer whose experience mainly stems from scriptwriting scenes for steamy, paranormal, romance, and action mobile games. Give me a trope, or an outline, and I'll pull a killer scene out of it! Along with that, my degree in language teaching provides more versatility than just writing, so proofreading, translation, and even teaching a concept or two are all on the table!
