    Every artist’s journey, like every story, has an origin. There is a beginning, middle, and end. Though the conclusion of my journey has not been decided, I can fill you in on the origins. Hopefully, that will give you an insight into me as a creator. The first book I ever read was Stephen King’s “It.” For years, I’d see its spine, sitting among my father’s library, sharing me with the seemingly innocent lone red balloon below chilling typography. When I finally got the nerve to pluck it out and start reading, the story contained within sparked something in me. That ignited my love for writing. For me, writing started with simple little stories featuring my friends, meant to make them laugh. That evolved into longer tales, with make-believe characters embroiled in fantastical tales of fantasy, horror, love, and even the mundane banality of everyday life. A love for film bled into each sentence, each paragraph creating the building blocks of a wholly unique style that prioritized pacing and excitement over showing off an expansive vocabulary. When I was fifteen, everything in my life came to a screeching halt. I was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness that stole not only a decade and a half of however long I will end up having on this Earth but also stole my love for storytelling. Those long years of frequent hospital visits and isolation created a unique perspective on life which came into play once my health issues were finally resolved. Once my health improved, I found myself behind all my peers, hamstrung when the race of life began. I rediscovered a love for writing. It didn’t only include storytelling. I became a freelance ghostwriter. I work fast without sacrificing creativity or quality. My writing style is wholly unique as I’ve taken great lengths to find and stick with my voice instead of copying or being inspired by others. And I have versatility and an ability to learn new styles that make me invaluable in any potential client’s project. I sincerely hope I will get the opportunity to prove this to you. Thank you for your time and interest.

    I am an experienced ghostwriter passionate about bringing stories to life and ensuring they resonate with the reader or listener. I have worked on various projects throughout my career, including fiction and non-fiction pieces, podcast episodes, social media content, news articles, and blog posts. Additionally, I have seven years of experience in marketing, including brand positioning, consumer insights, and developing high-performing marketing strategies. When I'm not writing, I am working on my true crime podcast, where I dive into unsolved cases from a historical and sociological perspective. My priority is delivering high-quality work that meets my client's needs and ensuring I maintain strong communication throughout the process.

    Hello! I'm Tyler! I am very fond of words. They're funny things. They can be dull if they aren't handled properly, even capricious. They can twist away from your intentions like a willful child. It's a great joy to see the living potential of someone else's ideas and wrangle all of those words into a vessel for their passion. I can only hope you'll allow me the happy opportunity to uncover all of the life inside your work. My previous experience ranges from print journalism, to indie comics, to freelance RPG writing in the OSR style. My personal tastes tend towards the uncanny, the bizarre, and the grim; but I thrive on variety and I love a challenge. I've worked on comedy sketches, artist reviews, and fan-fiction as needed, so I can fill any niche that you need.

    I've been studying creative writing for five years. It has been my passion since I was a child and now I am hoping to make a career of it! I've participated in numerous workshops and classes to analyze and critique work, so I am very open to new ideas and suggestions. I have extensively studied screenwriting and short fiction writing. I am also working on my fantasy novel! Aside from writing, I am looking for alpha and beta reading opportunities! I am an avid reader and I've enjoyed all of the beta reading projects I have worked on. I'm currently enrolled in courses to become a professional developmental editor which would allow me to read manuscripts and give valuable feedback to improve the quality of the stories. I'm always available to chat so please reach out if you are interested in working with me!
