    **Available for new projects** I am a fictional Ghost Writer and specialize in adult and YA horror/thriller/mystery/fantasy as well contemporary romance novels. I believe it is important to form a connection with clients to achieve the best possible result and thus communication is so important. All my stories are written from scratch with unique plots and characters and I am also able to assist with plot creation and character building. I also have experience in Beta Reading and understand the importance of such a task before an author dives into the world of querying. I provide detailed reports upon completion of the book and whatever feedback the author requires.

    To my potential employer, I achieved distinctions in my final year of my Bachelor's Degree in English and Literature and Creative Writing, which I believe endows me with the unique capacity for both academic credibility and creativity. I have experience in content writing in fields as diverse as dating to financial advice. I work well to deadline and I am a committed member of any team that I may join. Rather than then bore you with my trite self praises, please find attached an example of both my academic and creative writing. Thanking you for your time, Janine Milne

    “I would highly recommend Jason for any sales and marketing work needed. He has taken my business ahead leaps and bounds since joining my team and taking over my marketing. He raised the conversion rate, managed my email list and helped with marketing strategies that were highly effective. Jason has always gone above and beyond with anything I’ve ever asked of him and exceeded my expectations. To me what is invaluable is his skills and attitude and is always a pleasure to work with.” - Rose Molteno Hi, Jason here. I’m a direct response email copywriter living in sunny Cape Town, South Africa. When you work with me, we both have the same goal: Maximizing your ROI. I specialize in writing engaging direct response emails that bring the "human element" to your marketing. Designed to get you the highest open rates, drive the right clicks and convert more of your email list into BUYERS. Who I’ve studied: Stefan Georgi, Russel Brunson, Sam Ovens, Ryan Deiss, David Ogilvy, Eugene Swartz and many more. My process is simple: I take everything I’ve learned, plus deep research into your business, your market, your competitors and your customers, and combine it to create highly profitable emails that can drive traffic to your offers and bring in consistent revenue. ***One warning*** If you’re looking for cheap or average work… I can’t help you. I work with the type of business owner who cares about quality, because you know you’re getting A+ work that will put money in YOUR pocket. If that sounds like you and you want to KNOW you’re squeezing every dollar out of the effort you’ve put into your business, I’m the right guy to help. Here’s what to do next: Send me a note with a bit about your company, your track record and your project. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll schedule a call to talk.

    My first qualification was as a chef, what can I say- working in someone else's restaurant wasn't quite for me, it lacked the creativity I so craved and so "The food alchemist" was born. I tailor make recipe books and teach clients how to cook and some trade secrets and skills, whether it be just a healthy eating plan, low carb or vegetarian. Coupled with this I teach Pilates and other forms of personal training and my programmes are design specific according to clients' needs and goal orientation. I work for a franchise teaching kids yoga and design all my own lesson plans which are age specific and fun for example under the sea, kung fu panda, the jungle book, the magic faraway tree and more. I have published a book on yoga for kids, the theme based upon the importance of recycling and looking after the earth as well as your well being. I did all my own illustrations and the book- The dangle wangle bird- can be found on Amazon. I have done a recipe and pilates blog on facebook and a restaurant review blog on wordpress. I have also written academic articles for a news company aimed at being published in children's encyclopedias. I regularly enter poetry competitions and have been published in three anthologies. I'm also currently working on a book- it's an autobiography for now but my view on it changes frequently as the story evolves so I guess it will be a surprise how it turns out... My interests are obviously writing, teaching, art and cooking, I'm reliable and good at time management and following instruction, a bit of a perfectionist and really enthusiastic about creativity!

    Hi. I'm Malikah. Presently, I am a Private English Tutor studying towards a TEFL level 5 certificate, as I love teaching English. However, my true passion lies in writing and editing. I have academic NQF level 8 writing experience and research skills. I am creative at heart and this reflects in all the work I do. I'm friendly and outgoing, so do not have trouble communicating well with others and an active listener. I love analysing writing and this also makes me a critical thinker. I am computer literate, proficient in all Microsoft 365 applications and navagating online sites and portals, sourcing journals and articles, and compiling information. I am lacking in professional work experience, so would love to be given the opportunity to start my journey into the professional writing world. I am eager and enthusiastic to start working!

    What I Do Best: * Writing children's fiction * Crafting cross-genre short stories and novels * Novel plotting and structure * Dreaming in ink When I'm not tapping away behind my laptop, you can either find me on stage doing stand-up comedy or singing karaoke. ---More About me--- I grew up in a small town near the Southern most tip of Africa, but once I finished high school I moved to Cape Town to study Information Technology at the Cape Technicon. Since then I have explored careers in many sectors including retail management, sales, mobile application development and teaching, but writing has always remained my greatest passion. All the different avenues I pursued in the past have molded me into the masterful Jack of all trades and versatile writer I am today.

    I'm a Jill of most trades. That being said I have tried a few things over the years as one can never have to much knowledge about an exact career field. I like learning new things. I have more than 10 years of administrative experience. I started my journey as a receptionist, being the face of the company and first point of contact. This role made me more confident and made me realize that I can do anything i set my mind to. I learned to build relationships with clients and colleagues and my people skills improved to where I can say that it is one of my strengths now. I later decided to give my creative side a go and starting writing poems. I then went over to writing a short unpublished novel. This made me want to do graphic design and that's when my career started in graphics where I also created my own book covers. I am a self motivated and dedicated individual. I only deliver work to the best of my ability. My motto is always " I am in it to win it".
