    A long time ago and in a land far away (just kidding...only one of these is true), I entered college like many people do: directionless and looking for the next party. It was a rough start to my academic career. A few months later, "Introduction to Creative Writing" was the only class I was passing. Admittedly, it was also the only class I was attending, but even after I adjusted my terrible habits and decided to show up for the other courses in which I'd enrolled, there was a reason I never skipped English. Whether with artistic flair or through concise, organized prose, I knew that I wanted to craft a career out of reading and writing. So, that's what I did. I acknowledge literacy is a foundational element of education and that, practically speaking, most people possess these skills. However, the amount of time I spend performing these activities for my clients (as well as practicing them in my leisure time) affords me a unique position in the copywriting marketplace. The fact of the matter is--this is all that I do. I read, and I write. Over the past 20 years, I've composed everything from love poems to landing pages for others, and I've relished every moment of the process. If you'd like more details about the type(s) of writing I provide for clients: I convince admissions committees to accept people into their university. I compose personal bios that build confidence in potential clients. I describe services or products that elicit intererst in prospective buyers. I generate creative ideas for people whose muse has disappeared. If you need help getting unstuck on a writing assignment, if you don't have the margin in your life to produce a writing task, or if you don't have the requisite skills for a specific writing project, I want to help. To me, there's no greater satisfaction than writing a story, an article, or even an email for someone who lacks the time or confidence to compose it on their own. I hope you will consider me for any writing or editing projects that require a dedicated and talented professional. Joe

    If you are curious about my work, look for me on Amazon, I also publish a bi-weekly article for El Nativo de Tejupilco, a local newspaper in Tejupilco, Mexico. I am comfortable writing either in English or Spanish, and my pleasure in life is to tell stories, profound, silly, scary or just plain crazy stories. For many years, I worked as a ghostwriter for screenplays in Hollywood. The whole system broke me down, as it does all others who venture to Tinseltown with their dreams on their sleeve. But I survived Hollywood, and I decided to keep writing stories, and if you are patient, you might find one or two to your liking on my amazon writer's profile.

    For the better part of the last eight years I've been interested in writing, editing, and reviewing - mostly in the field of comic books and popular culture. My academic background as a Master of Arts in English language and literature provides me with both skills and resources required to be a professional writer and an editor, with a critical eye for creative works of fiction and non-fiction alike. Writing-wise, I've been published in numerous publications, both in print and online, since 2009 in both my native Serbia and abroad. I've also been a proofreader in several monographs and am an assistant editor in an annual publication, as well as a regular columnist on two online and one printed publication, all of these related largely to comic books. I've won two awards in the field of comic book theory, one being the memorial plaque for best young comic book theoretician in the Balkan region at the 17th Balkans Festival of Young Comics Creators in Leskovac, Serbia in 2015. Aside from native Serbian, I am also fluent in English, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin, with passing knowledge of Macedonian and beginner level knowledge of French and German. I've previously successfully translated rudimentary texts from French to Serbian, but have significant experience in translating from English to Serbian and vice versa - the topics ranged from cover letters and CVs, comic book scripts, reviews, theoretical texts, manuals, texts regarding economy and banking, as well as prose and poetry. I am flexible in terms of working hours and I will keep in touch with my client until the project is done properly. I have a decent amount of connections when it comes to researching more creative topics of writing, and I also have access to literature regarding editing. Proofreading and error evasion is something I take seriously, and will work hard to provide my client with an end-product we could both be proud of. I can work under pressure, but still prefer to be given a deadline, as that can help me organize my other numerous non-professional obligations. Finally, I am a communicative, open-minded and cooperative individual willing to take suggestions and learn from his past experiences and past endeavors. I will try to make any professional venture seem as natural and relaxed as possible, not too much to lose sight of the job, but enough to make it not feel stiff and rigid, providing a productive, fluid working environment for both the client and myself.

This means your projects will be well-planned and executed on time within the agreed scope and budget. Your content will be provided to you in the format of your choice.

    I write, edit, and teach AI to do the same. I have a degree in literature and a decade of experience in creative (ghost)writing, SEO content creation, editing, proofreading, transcription, and various language-related projects, including linguistic AI training. I'm here to help you with - Creating authoritative content - Writing expert book reviews, critical analyses, summaries, and blurbs - Editing, proofreading, and humanizing generative AI outputs - Training AI to write better I am a philologist with a general literature and literary theory degree. My literary expertise allows me to write about books in many ways and forms, from classic literature and poetry analyses and book study guides to comprehensive summaries or catchy descriptions of contemporary fiction and nonfiction books. I also know SEO. As an SEO Content Writer, I write well-researched articles, blog posts, and e-books that follow SEO best practices. My content is easy to read, provides real value, and helps businesses get noticed by search engines. I am a nonfiction ghostwriter. I research extensively, gathering information from books and credible sources. I then write clear, well-crafted prose, turning research into structured, engaging content. I have a strong track record in book blurb copywriting. A book blurb is a sales copy, not a summary. I won't retell your story. Instead, I'll help you sell it by writing a unique, engaging, and cliché-free description. I'm also a data linguist. For three years, starting two years before ChatGPT existed, I was part of an incredible team of machine learning engineers, data scientists, linguists, writers, and editors who built an AI algorithm capable of generating SEO content that outperformed the average human writer on the global market. My role involved writing example paragraphs based on specific keywords, paraphrasing text, proofreading, composing outlines, and more. Beyond that, I’ve done similar work at three major AI companies, where I performed RLHF annotation, rated and corrected AI-generated content, and contributed to refining model outputs for better accuracy, coherence, and engagement. Need an editor, proofreader, or AI output humanizer? I have years of experience refining AI-generated content, instantly recognizing machine-written text by its patterns, awkward phrasing, and subtle inconsistencies. I can help you with proofreading, editing, and restructuring AI output to improve clarity, flow, and readability. I correct errors, adjust tone, and ensure the writing feels natural and engaging. When it comes to my Upwork experience, the projects I’ve worked on include: - Book summaries and analyses - History articles and language-learning blogs - Literature and poetry study guides - Self-development workbooks based on well-known non-fiction - SEO articles, tutorials, listicles, and more What about AI? I don’t use AI to write. I train it. While some writers see AI as a threat or a shortcut, I’ve found it to be an exciting way to use my skills in a new way. For the past two years, I’ve worked on major generative AI projects as a data linguist, annotator, and chatbot trainer. I understand what AI can and can’t do and use that knowledge to deliver thoughtful, human-centered content. Here’s what I bring to the table: - A strong educational background and interests ranging from history and theology to technology and AI - Solid research and analytical skills that make complex topics clear and engaging - The ability to write in a variety of styles, from casual blog posts to in-depth analyses and everything in between - Experience with projects of all sizes, from short blurbs to full-length books - A practical approach that balances SEO strategy with content that connects with readers A couple of things to keep in mind: - I’m selective about the topics I take on. If I’ve applied for your job, it means I’m genuinely interested. - I don’t share ghostwritten work out of respect for my clients’ privacy. That said, you can check out some of my bylined articles on the LiveXP blog, The Collector, my Medium publication "Booksist," or my WordPress blog Christian Write-Ups. If you’d like to know more or think we’d be a good fit, click “Invite to Job” and let me know what you have in mind. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

    I combine an extensive psychology, neuroscience and therapy background with creative flair and publishing and marketing nous. I am fundamentally a story-teller with what has been described as an "easy-to-read style." My writing is technically sound and creatively ambitious. I'm not just a writer, editor and a researcher. When you hire me you are getting years of expertise and experience in psychology that will help inform your work. My psychology knowledge is critical in content creation whether that is specifically writing about health, wellness, neuroscience and general self-help material or crafting the critical experiences in a memoir. It also is very relevant in plot development and character definition in fiction and in screenplays. I also have excellent analytic, editing and research skills and have been an editor of a scientific journal as well as a reviewer for other journals and professional periodicals. In addition, I have a team of affiliates that include a top notch New York literary agent, one of the best book marketing companies in the U.S. (publishers use them), a former NY Times editor, graphic designers and production experts. I enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences and then articulating them in an engaging and meaningful way. I understand another person's voice and can write to that style. I also understand marketing, PR and the changing face of publishing including the use of social media. I have my own small publishing company that produces mostly medical, health and lifestyle related material. I have been very successful in the past in promoting my own books, getting myself on CNN, and all the major networks as well as 'The View' and ABC"s '20/20.' Born, raised and educated in the U.K. but having lived in the US for the past 28 years I understand both cultures, the similarities but also the subtle differences I am a great blend of academic thinker and creative writer. As a PhD in psychology, neuroscience expert, therapist, editor and researcher, I know about communication, influence and how to transform even the most complex ideas into engaging content that appeals to a variety of audiences. I am a story-teller having written 10 books, 3 videos, 35 academic papers, 2 workbooks and numerous other material in my own name as well ghostwriting many other books. I am a bestselling author and award-nominated author and a documentary health movie I worked on did win a 'medical Oscar.' In the last two years I have co- or ghostwritten 4 coaching and self-help books, 4 neuroscience books on dementia, cognitive function and performance, 5 business books on topics from time management to leadership and 5 inspirational memoirs from people around the world. I know how to craft a winning proposal. I also know the crucial importance of understanding the purpose of your book and your audience, as well as your marketing campaign, before you write. In addition, I help my clients plan to leverage their books by developing platforms that supplement their material and allow continued engagement with their followers. 'Howard did a fantastic job taking my story an guiding me as to how my book should be structured and marketed. He also did an amazing job in capturing my voice and producing a book that I'm very proud of, " Todd Patkin, co-author of Finding Happiness, a finalist in the prestigious Indie book awards in the self-help category in 2012. "The leading lifestyle change expert." --Dr. Ahmed Kissebah “Howard is an outstanding professional. His expertise, committment, delivery quality, and his personal qualities make him truly exceptional. I would not have been able to complete my project without him as a driving force, and at times also as a mentor. I strongly hope to work with him again on future projects, and warmly recommend him.” — Marc Kilian "A brilliant mind with an equally kind heart--a model of the new intellectual presence in the world." -- Dr. Laurie Mastrogianis "Dr Howard Ranin, thank you, thank you, thank you! You not only made writing this book possible (I never could have done it alone) but you also helped make the process sensible to me." -- Todd Patkin "Great writer, quality. Very high quality." -- Martin Wilson "We went through a lot of writers to find someone as good as this. Not only is his writing creative, funny and insightful, but his communication throughout the job and willingness to take feedback is topnotch. Fantastic guy to work with." -- Roger Elliott. "Great job! I wouldn't have been able to complete this without your guidance." -- Marcel Daane. "Great job!" -- Barrett Murphy. "Howard has been very insightful and helpful in his approach. I appreciated his flexibility and adherence to scheduling and direction changes." - Rick Bevard. "Delivered exactly on the terms that were agreed upon. It was a pleasure and total ease.”— Parham Consulting.

How to Hire Top Speech Writers

How to hire speechwriters

Got a major speaking event around the corner and need to deliver a professional public address? A speechwriter can help.

So how do you hire speechwriters? What follows are some tips for finding top speechwriters on Upwork.

How to shortlist speechwriting professionals

As you’re browsing available speechwriting consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a speechwriter who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target audience.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing speeches for political campaigns).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular speechwriter.

How to write an effective speechwriting job post

With a clear picture of your ideal speechwriter in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective speechwriting job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From ghostwriting speeches to editing your own work, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or types of speeches, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Speechwriters FAQs

What is speechwriting?

Speechwriting is the art of taking a speaker’s thoughts and ideas and transforming them into an official address.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in speechwriting consultants:

  • Speechwriting
  • Ghostwriting
  • Public relations
  • Proofreading and editing

Why hire speechwriters?

The trick to finding top speechwriters is to identify your needs. Is your goal to encourage donations at a charity dinner, inspire students at a graduation, or express your gratitude when accepting an award? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a speechwriter?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced speechwriter may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their speechwriting more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
