    I have significant writing, research, and consulting skills and experience. During my 34 years as an attorney, writing legal documents was an essential part of my law practice. I regularly drafted a variety of legal documents, including without limitation, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, entity formation documents, operating agreements, securities offering documents, immigration petitions, and many other different types of contracts and agreements. It was critical that I drafted these documents in a manner consistent with my clients’ intentions. As a result, these documents had to be drafted precisely and clearly. Besides legal documents, as an attorney, I also regularly wrote letters to my clients and letters to opposing counsel or government officials, such as opinion letters on legal issues, and sales letters and proposal letters concerning possible work. In writing these letters, I had to be both informative and persuasive. My clients would commonly request my help in writing certain of their business documents, and I would “ghostwrite” for them such documents as business plans, loan applications, and solicitations to investors. From time to time, I would review the work of other attorneys and thereby developed experience in proofreading and editing (where necessary) their writings. I also wrote speeches, seminar materials, and numerous articles on various legal and business topics for a variety of audiences, including without limitation, sponsored by American Bar Association, Chicago Bar Association, Northwestern Mutual, Merrill Lynch, American Airlines, and Association of Legal Administrators. I also had extensive experience in researching both legal issues and other issues related to legal matters as an attorney. I am very qualified in the use of Lexis and Westlaw to research issues. Currently working as a consultant, I assist clients with writing and research projects, including without limitation, that I wrote blogs and researched and analyzed immigration issues for a company that helps people obtain visas and residence permits and citizenships in the United States and other countries around the world. My writing and research skills are very helpful to my clients as I provide business and wealth planning and other advice concerning the subjects of estate planning, asset protection planning, tax planning, series limited liability companies, corporations, and other business entities, securities, real estate, intellectual property, probate, immigration, business transactions, international business, and contracts. In connection with this work, I write a monthly newsletter. Apart from my work experience, I also have recent writing experience in helping my children with their high school essays, college application essays, and scholarship applications, and writing an obituary for a family member. I have always loved to write and truly get satisfaction from a well-crafted, coherent composition. I believe that written communication involves more than coding and emojis. I look forward to the opportunity to help others with their writing, research, and consulting needs.

    Searching for an author for your next bestseller? Search no more! I'm a bestselling author looking to help folks like you bring their vision to life. I especially love working on memoirs and autobiographies. If you want your life story told, I have several packages to help write, publish, and promote your book. If your stories will change other people's lives for the better, let's talk! My genres of most experience are: self-help, business, Christian living (any chance I get to write about my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is always a pleasure), memoir, and comedy. I'm a great ghostwriter, but because I've published my own books, I also offer format editing, marketing, and publication services. Here are some reasons that I'm the perfect hire for your next Creative Nonfiction project. ➡️ Every client who has bought a publication package from me has become a bestselling author on Amazon. ➡️ My debut memoir, Turtle Soup Is Enough, was ranked a #1 New Release and a #1 Bestseller on Amazon in three different categories. ➡️ I received a 4.0 when I graduated with my Master of Arts in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Denver. ➡️ I have published articles in both academic and literary journals and was a finalist for the Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction with the Bellingham Review. ➡️ I have written twelve 20,000-30,000 word projects as a ghostwriter for various clients. Every client who has purchased a publication package from me has become an Amazon bestselling author. I have found that I am a highly competitive candidate on this platform and only take on projects that I feel I can accomplish with absolute excellence. If you're wondering if you're at the right profile, here are some guidelines to help you know whether or not we'd be a good fit. I DO NOT edit or rewrite AI written manuscripts. I'm all for my innovative clients. I'm all about leveraging technology to make our lives easier. But listen. Approaching me with an AI written manuscript is like approaching me with a slab of tofu and asking me to make steak. Sure, I can toss some A1 on that sucker. I can even add steak seasoning and fire it up on the grill for you. But, unless I toss out the tofu and start from scratch with a piece of the real stuff, it won't taste like steak. This is not a moral position I'm taking. If you approach me with an AI generated manuscript, you won't save time. You won't save money. Either I'll rewrite the manuscript from scratch or you'll end up with a low-quality book. And I'm just not in the business of producing low-quality books. Give it ten years, and if AI has caught up to the standards I hold for the manuscripts I produce, then I'll think about it. Until then, please feel free to move on from my profile. In the same vein, I WILL NOT work for you at a lower rate so I can leverage AI while working on your manuscript. I do not use AI to write my books, or anything else for that matter. I don't know if you've noticed from my extensive list of publications, degrees, and projects I've taken on in this space, but I AM A WRITER. I love writing. I have invested a lot of my time and money into my skillsets as an author. I don't want to sit and chat with a chat bot for you to try and get it to produce a great paragraph. I write faster and at a higher-quality when I just write the darned paragraph myself. If you're looking to save a buck by allowing your ghostwriters to leverage AI, please feel free to move on from my profile. I DO NOT take on projects about manifestation, crystals, or any other Wiccan content. I get several of these requests a month. If you're writing a Wicca related book, please move on from my profile. PLEASE NOTE: that I do not work with clients who are manipulative or exploitive in any way. The reason my Job Success Score is currently at 94% instead of 100% is because I had to walk away from a client who continued to change the scope of the project without changing his budget for the tasks I was completing for him. If you're looking to exploit a freelancer to accomplish tasks outside of the agreed upon contract, please move on from my profile. I DO take on projects for clients who are looking to create a high-quality, market-competitive manuscript. If you're looking to write something great, you're at the right profile. Thanks for reading. Cheers, Margaret

    30 million TED and TEDx views. 60% selected as TEDx "Editor's Picks." Keynotes for events and conferences across industries. Delivered on 5 continents. Speeches I've coached and/or written are all of the above. Do you want to give a great speech or presentation? Do you feel overwhelmed because you have so much to say but don't know how to shape your talk? Let me help! I've been helping speakers for a few decades as a coach and speech writer/speechwriter. Do you want to become a better communicator but don't know how? Let's work together. I've taught public speaking and speechwriting to thousands of college students (for over 20 years) and have written keynotes for countless others, including CEOs of large companies. I served as a TEDx curator and speaker coach/writer for 10 years. I've worked with over 150 TEDx speakers as their coach or writer. 60% of my TEDx speakers have been selected as "Editor's Picks," only about 200 TEDx talks get this designation each year. A coach is a teacher who knows how to pull the best out of you. I've worked professionally as a speechwriter before getting my PhD in Rhetoric. I've studied the greatest communicators and I've learned how to pull the best out of people of all abilities and experience levels. When you put these three things together (speechwriter, coach, and academic study), I am a bit of a unicorn because I know what to do, why you need to do it, and how to make it happen. These are some ways I can help: -Speech writer (speechwriting): I've written keynotes for high performing individuals in the mental health, medical, startup, technology, sport, and finance spaces. In 2023 alone, I've written keynotes and TEDx Talks that have been delivered on five continents. Did you know that the best speechwriters know that there are many genres, just like in literature and movies? I write across all genres, including the genre of TED Talks. Speechwriting is a craft. It's never about me but helping you shape your talk with your passion, your expertise, and your stories. -Finding your voice: your voice is your superpower. Most of the time we don't recognize this because we are too focused on what we are saying and other people are thinking. I will help you identify your superpower and help you learn how to speak to your strengths. Some people have a voice that makes me curious, while others are contemplative, authoritative, or calming. We will work to find your speaking and leadership voices. -General presentation skills: how to structure your presentation for any situation and formats ranging from online to auditoriums. -Individual and small group communication: how to be a better listener and conversationalist in one-on-one and small group settings. We focus on active listening, types of questions, and impromptu speaking techniques. -Public speaking coach: I work with a wide variety of speakers across industries. From keynotes to company retreats, I will help you create meaningful and motivating talks. It has taken me over a decade to develop a speaker process that will take you step-by-step from idea formation to the stage. -Strategies for overcoming performance anxiety and stress. I've been lucky to have incredible clients who just want to be better communicators. And, yes, talks I've coached have over 25 million TEDx and TED views. I help people of all skill levels become exceptional communicators. For more reviews, check out my LinkedIn and LinkedIn Services pages. Below is one of the reviews you can find on LinkedIn. Brian Requarth (Entrepreneur & Shark on Shark Tank Mexico): I had a few important speaking engagements last year and I came across Jeff online. I reached out and had a few great exchanges. We worked together on a TED style talk and he was super professional. I was so impressed in his ability to explain the process, write in my voice, think and communicate with such clarity. Aside from all of that he was just super easy to work with and I felt like he really cared about my success and dedicated the time to make me feel prepared in the process. I would recommend him without hesitation.

    I am a creative person with a wide range of technical skills. I specialize in content for websites, but I also write sales letters, copy for brochures, white papers, articles, blog posts, and any other writing that needs a unique, professional voice. Please note that while it may look like I have a high number of jobs in progress, these are merely open contracts with satisfied clients. I have written articles for websites such as IndieWire, Highya, BrightReviews, and InfoSec Institute, to name just a few. I also specialize working with other clients developing their marketing materials, including landing pages, sales letters, email drip campaigns, and more. You can see my copywriter website at moremarkable-website-content-writing.com I'm a UCLA graduate in Theater, Film, and Television as well as a songwriter and poet, so I can draw from a lot of creativity for my work. I also have a background in journalism and am the author of two books, so I have excellent investigative skills and an authoritative voice. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss your needs in depth.

    Hello. Over the past year, I've been teaching an AI bot how to write. It learns quickly but cannot do what I do. And that includes jumping jacks. Hello, new client. I bring you over 35 years of professional work, from writing 300 explainer videos to writing TV commercials for Disney; from TedTalks to selling TV series (scripted and reality), and even a full-length musical. There's virtually nothing I haven't written. I have also worked with a bunch of famous people but I won't bore you with the details. But please ask. My clients always come first, no matter the project. I value your feedback and I will bend over backwards, like Simone Biles, to get it right. I look forward to working with you. Phil

    “If you need some serious work done and need it to be well done, in fact very well done - Francis is the right person! Amazing work as usual. His ability to take complex requests and simplify them and deliver high quality work is rare! ” — nanduawatramani, NARA Hello..I will write articles, blogs, whitepapers, case studies, speeches, business plans, and video scripts, punch up copy, create original copy, rewrite first drafts, and ghost-write bios. I can produce work quickly, will always meet your deadlines, and prefer to work for my clients for a long time. Every word I write is designed to captivate readers in a story about your product or service that entertains and motivates them to take action.

Hire me to create copy that “SELLS while it ENTERTAINS” and watch the selling power of your advertising skyrocket.

    I deliver high-quality content. My work is done efficiently and effectively, and I meet clients' needs. I have been freelance writing for years, and I have decided to begin using Upwork to manage my working relationships. I am by far the hardest person I know to work for, sometimes so much that I hate being my own boss and having to answer to myself. I take accountability to the next level. If you are looking for someone intrinsically motivated to succeed, self-disciplined, and hard-working, look no further. I am that red-penned, English teacher we all dreaded writing for in school. I write well, know education, and am extremely passionate about doing things right. I think the most productive working relationships are those with clear expectations. By taking the time to get to know what the client wants and expects, productivity becomes efficient and effective. I work hard at achieving this when I am chosen to do any job.
