My passion and expertise is helping you turn rough drafts into polished prose! Did you write it down but it doesn't look right? Maybe you just need that second pair of eyes to check for those tiny details that might be missed. Ideas how to elevate your writing with just a few, near effortless, changes? Let's work together to get your story out to your audience, where it belongs! I am an experienced editor, proofreader, ghostwriter, and writer in fiction and non-fiction with one goal in mind—helping you reach your publishing goal! What kind of an editor or ghostwriter am I? I’m empathetic. Meaning, I understand the experience of bringing your ideas to life. It can be kind of scary. There’s that worry of turning over an idea to write about or an edit that needs to be done. What’s going to happen? Will you like it? That’s why I take the time to explain what I do, and why. My first experience of having a manuscript edited was horrifying. It was enough to make a person swear off writing forever. I won't do that to you! I want you to experience the absolute joy in holding a copy of your book with your name on it. I love to work with clients to make sure what they see in their mind is what happens on paper. Everything I do? It has one purpose. To enhance your story and help you be the best.

Telling a story is a skill I discovered and then fell in love with. Over the course of my advertising tenure and of my bachelor's degree, I realised that words have the power to stir - and that's what I specialise in doing.

I've been writing regularly since my first newspaper job in college in 1986, and I've been editing others' writing off-and-on since 1989 -- at my first newspaper job out of college. I've written one unpublished novel and three published books of nonfiction -- two on the rights of children in society, and a brand-new U.S. Constitution. I've written dozens of professional essays for online magazines, including The Savvy Street. I taught writing briefly at the university level (1995) and conducted dozens of private classes at home on "organized thinking" to freelancers from 1993 to 2006. I have a high level of motivation on projects, enjoying the challenges of such undertakings, as well as working with others, when the opportunity arises. I love the writing and editing process immensely.

I'm a data analyst, adjunct professor, and professional writer. Yes, I wear a lot of hats, but I also have a lot of experience in each of these fields. I work full-time at a software development company using SQL and python daily, creating reports that healthcare clients can use to add value to their company. However, on the weekends I teach PSY101 at my local state college. I teach a 2.5-hour lecture weekly, grade exams, create assignments and exams, and engage with students. When I'm not working on those projects, I'm writing. I have one self-published novel out on amazon (Professional Student). It made it to the top 100 free ebooks in the women sleuths category when it first came out and I'm currently working on a YA fantasy novel that I'll be querying to agents this year. I like to work with numbers and data, but I can't resist the freedom I get by writing. I publish on Medium for my personal pieces, but I can't say that I stick to one niche. So, whether it's data, technical writing, or creative writing - trust me with your next project and I won't let you down.

I've been a published author for decades, with novels, short stories, and reviews to my credit. I am also a developmental editor and ghostwriter with excellent references from my many satisfied clients. The video to the left is a book trailer I created in PowerPoint for JERSEY GHOULS (2018). My first book was, oddly enough, a children’s book, DINOSAUR DRESS UP, published by Tambourine Press (a division of William Morrow) in 1992. Since then, I’ve published many other books, mostly science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I’ve also ghostwritten more than a dozen works of science fiction, fantasy, memoirs, and cozy mysteries. My short story "In the Conservatory" was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Beginning in 2024, Regal House will publish my trilogy of Middle Grade books set in ancient Egypt. The first book is titled MURDER IN MENNEFER. I’m a trained artist, and have had hundreds of drawings, paintings, and illustrations to my credit, over a freelance career spanning 50 years. I’ve designed everything from Christmas cards to tattoos. I'm an enthusiastic collaborator, and take pride in delivering projects on or ahead of deadline. I live in Rockingham County, North Carolina with my wife and occasional collaborator, novelist Grace Marcus. I also play a mean kit of drums and performed in bands for over five decades. My pledge to clients: I will never use ChatGPT in any aspect of my work for you. What you will get is 100% Al Sirois. My most recent references: Thank you for your creativity and professionalism. A M-K Allen S is a very creative writer. His storylines are interesting and intriguing. He meets all deadlines, communicates well, collaborates in a collegial way, and produces an entertaining story. I highly recommend Allen and would be happy to hire him again. J W A big thank-you to Allen for a job well done in editing my story and adding some much needed depth to some of its characters. Allen kept me informed, offered suggestions to help bring the story to life, and put in regular hours. Thanks, Al. D G

I have been writing, acting and performing comedy for over 25 years. For the past 13 years, I've been a stay-at-home dad, which has given me books and books of comedic material. I find myself with lots of time in between school pick-ups and kid sporting events, so I thought, why not utilize said time by doing some brain work for other people?! I enjoy sitting up at night, typing, and quietly laughing at my own jokes, but I'm also good at breaking stories, suggesting new plotlines, and championing your project. I co-wrote and co-created a web series for Atomic Wedgie (a subsidiary of Freemantle). I've written 3 screenplays (comedy and horror) and 3 pilot scripts, 2 of which have been in consideration by executives at CBS, FX, and JAX Media. I've also written for National Lampoon, TROOP! and The Riot Act and cultivated a career as a Voice Over artist and just to round it all out, I recently started Podcasting, although I'm still trying to figure out what that means. I have a BFA from Emerson College, and I do enjoy long walks on the beach but only on short beaches. Oh, and I'm a Libra. Which apparently means something. Let me help you!

The TLDR: If Joan Rivers and Don Draper had a wordsmithing girl boss half-fictional nepo baby. Hi, I'm Jamie. I've invested my career in crafting eye-catching copy and creative marketing materials for early-stage startups and ghostwriting thought leadership for tech execs. From fitness to finance and construction to cannabis, there's nothing that gets my ink flowing like bringing brand voices to life. You could say I'm like the Dr. Frankenstein of creative writing. My extensive tech marketing background and signature wit have enabled me to create creative brand assets, including websites, blog posts, billboards, product descriptions, scripts, emails, and pretty much anything else you can put words on, no matter the message or medium. As a ghostwriter, I've been published on Tech Crunch, Substack, and Medium, and have written for senior tech leaders at Amazon, Meta, AfterPay, Netflix, and more. But enough about my brand, let's talk wordy about yours. Samples include: ★ advertising campaigns ★ website copy ★ landing pages ★ email copy ★ blog posts ★ thought leadership ★ sales scripts ★ social media copy ★ white papers/case studies ★ product descriptions ★ resumes/cover letters ★ standup comedy/skits

My name is Brian Hawkins. I am a former English teacher and presently, a tech/proposal writer, a comic book creator/writer, and a professional freelance writer. I understand the importance of the written expression when it comes to conveying ideas, thoughts, and feelings effectively. Communication is about informing and persuading, tapping into the human condition and what makes individuals alike as well as differ. Poignant writing connects ideas and people and moves people into action. I have had the fortunate career of attempting to mold minds in education for seventeen years, helping enlighten and teach a life skill (how to write) that the next generation can carry with them to better equip them in the ever changing world. I believe that my career as an educator was intimately synced to my career as a writer. As I have evolved as a person, I also in my career, leaving the field of education to be a writer full-time. In addition to writing professionally for a business, I am an editor for Mad Cave Studios, a freelance writer for BlackBox Comics and Zenescope Entertainment, and the author of two children chapter books for North Star Editions Publishing/Jolly Fish Press. I also have a creator owned comic book series, BLACK COTTON, with Scout Comics and a self-published horror comic book series titled, THE LUNATIC, THE LOVER, & THE POET.

In a nutshell: I'm an adventurous introvert. I have a great love for the outdoors and the written word - these two things make up the core of who I am. In my free time, I can be found backpacking, camping, exploring new locations & cultures, rock climbing, exploring with my dog, pouring over my field guides to identify new-to-me plant, insect, and animal species, reading in my hammock with some wine, writing for clients or creatively for myself, or, most recently, ice climbing. I push myself physically to literally climb mountains, and mentally to be the best field ecologist and writer that I can be. I am always seeking to learn and grow. I've been working on Upwork for the past 5 years. My experience includes writing original content (can be SEO), researching peer-reviewed sources, editing content for accuracy, syntax, grammar, and readability, formatting articles (including image enhancement & alteration), alt-tagging for SEO, creation of app content, creating social media content to attract more readers, corresponding with/answering questions from readers, and I'm able to work well alone or as part of a team. I'm incredibly adaptable and a quick learner, so even if I don't have a tremendous amount of experience in a particular area, chances are I can pick it up and get the work done both efficiently and accurately. I've written articles on topics ranging from architecture to water quality to personal challenge and growth to native/invasive plant and animal species worldwide. Easygoing, yet ambitiously passionate about conservation, eco-sustainability, writing, and having new experiences and adventures. Very self-motivated and eager to learn. Enthusiastic, patient, steadfast, and hardworking environmental professional with experience collecting and analyzing data in the field, proper identification of native and invasive flora and fauna, habitat assessment/restoration of a variety of ecosystem types (oak-pine barrens, Midwestern savanna, transitional South African bush savanna, wetlands, upland forest, and riparian ecosystems). Skilled at habitat assessment surveys, invasive plant control, wildlife population surveys, quadrat-level botanical sampling, use of dichotomous keys, and diseased wildlife sampling. Very much a silver-linings kind of person, able to work long hours in strenuous field conditions (or behind a laptop!) while maintaining a positive attitude whether working alone or in a team. Goal-oriented, able to see how small-picture projects work into the bigger picture. Proficient at both scientific writing and creative writing, as well as formatting and editing. Lover of travel, new places, and new cultures. I greatly enjoy and have a knack for writing, proofreading, editing, and providing constructive critique. I've been writing for as long as I actually *could* write, and in eighth grade I won second place out of hundreds of entries for my fictional short story in a statewide writing competition called The Detroit Free Press Writing Competition (I'm from Michigan). In that moment, my lively imagination and passion for writing truly began to take root and flourish. As a recent college graduate, I am accustomed to composing several papers per week, typically ranging from 3-20 pages in length. During my first couple of years of college, I majored in English with an emphasis on creative writing. However, while I greatly enjoy reading and writing, a profound love and respect for nature has always been intricately woven into my very being. As such, I changed my major to Natural Resources Management with an emphasis on Wildlife Ecology, with a minor in biology and geographic information systems (GIS). Consequently, my writing interests and skills have broadened, and I've become quite adept at both conducting peer-reviewed research as well as composing lab reports, research papers, and presentations. In addition, I often proofread, edit, and critique papers encompassing a plethora of topics for friends and colleagues. In my free time, I write short stories, primarily science fiction and fantasy spliced with realistic fiction, and dabble in poetry. A few years ago, I studied abroad in South Africa and Swaziland. The focus was on international field biology and ecotourism sustainability, but the experiences encompassed so much more than that - the people, the incredible cultures, the politics and history, the stunning wildlife and ecology. I've found that I greatly enjoy writing about these various adventures and bringing them to life again on paper, and as I continue to travel and experience more of the world and myself I will continue to write about not only the experiences themselves but to also incorporate them in unique ways into my short stories and poetry. One of my greatest goals in life is to someday write a book. In the meantime, I hope to pave a sustainable living for myself via doing one of the things that I love most - writing.
