⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Rebecca is very pleasant to work with! The most skilled and talented children’s book writer I've hired on Upwork. Her experience as a children’s book writer and editor is outstanding. I’ll hire her again and again.” Every child longs to go on an adventure, and taking children to a world full of adventure on the wings of creatively written words is the best feeling ever. I have always been fascinated with words and seeing children’s faces come alive when I tell them my stories pushed and encouraged me to put them down on paper. I have written children's fiction and non-fiction books. I write children's stories, inspirational stories about sport and science heroes, dinosaur books, stories about helicopters, crazy facts for kids, poems, songs, fairy tales, pirate stories, and grammar books. My love for children led me to take up a teaching job where I love making young ones smile and laugh joyfully at my stories. After listening to awesome stories, their happiness has been my major drive because children are the leaders of tomorrow. I have worked with numerous organizations and schools that want to impact awesome adventure experiences in children by helping them craft a masterpiece. Below are the services I have to offer; ✔️ Writing children stories, fiction and non-fiction (sport heroes, facts books for children etc) ✔️ Writing and editing stories for children for all age groups. ✔️ Writing STEM books for children ✔️ Writing English grammar books ✔️ Professional editing of stories, comic and cartoon texts Aside from making children's faces light up with my awesome writeups, I also find pleasure in delivering a high-end masterpiece to my clients with 100% satisfaction. If you work with me, you’re guaranteed to get; ✅ Regular communications ✅ Timely deliveries ✅ Children's friendly words ✅ Creative ideas and flair As a children's story writer and editor, I have read books from great authors to learn new words and better understand children's habits in reading and learning. Below are some of my favorite authors; ✔️ C.S Lewis ✔️ Roald Dahl ✔️ J.K Rowling ✔️ Chris Colfer ✔️ Jen Calonita Here is another review from one of my happy and satisfied clients; ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is the second or third time that we hired Rebecca. She is an excellent writer with high quality and punctual work. We’ll hire her again if we have similar projects in the future. Thank you, Rebecca." I know you also want to be as happy and satisfied as my clients 😀😀😀. I am available to work with you to deliver a masterpiece. If you love to see some of my writeups, you can inbox me, and we’ll take it up from there. I’ll be looking forward to your invite or chat.

Hello, and thanks for reviewing my profile. I look forward to hearing about your project! As a career freelance writer, creating fabulous content and well-crafted books is my passion. The written word has always been something especially beautiful to me, from the many intricate fonts to the individuality of each written piece. This love of writing led me to pursue a Journalism and Communications degree program right from high school, and I have been writing ever since. Between writing projects, I have worked as a sailor, commercial diver, and foreman in a Rigging Shop. This career diversity allows me to draw on a wide range of experience for any project. Whether you are seeking long-term assistance or you just require a polish to work already started, your project will be delivered on time and completed to your specific instructions. My home base is Kelowna, B.C., Canada, although I am currently travelling and writing part of the year in Mexico. When not writing, I can be found cycling and exploring. Travels have taken us (so far) to India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, the South Pacific and throughout Central America. We have lived in Canada, Grand Cayman, Australia, and now in Mexico.

I am a full time professional writer who always meets deadlines and communicates well. I have been on Upwork for 15 years, and I have enjoyed the variety of work. I have written articles, sales funnels, VSL, landing pages, sales letters, emails, newsletters and much more. I have also worked on the creative side, writing novels, feature scripts and short films. I’m very focused and always produce work before the proposed deadline. I have script doctored and script edited before as well, and can provide some samples of those. I believe my work as an actor helps write great hooks, relatable dialogue and strong and engaging copy. I have fast turn around times and am always happy to take a meeting in order to fully understand your needs.

Hello! I'm an adept and reliable editor/writer with several years' worth of experience in creative writing, SEO and content writing, copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and proofreading. My goal is to eventually end up as the freelance editing/writing equivalent of Kobe Bryant. In other words, someone who is highly efficient, clutch, extremely attentive to detail, and the hardest working! I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's (formerly Ryerson) journalism program with a minor in English. I've written extensively for the National Post, Bloomberg, The Ryersonian, Yonge Magazine, The EyeOpener, Huffington Post, and several other publications. I also served as head Deputy Editor/Head Copyeditor at The Ryersonian, and for two years I operated as Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Yonge Magazine, a successful online multimedia platform. My short fiction can be found online at STORGY Magazine, in Sixfold's Summer 2023 Issue, and in the Muskeg Press collection of short stories entitled, "Influenced: Stories From the Lockdown." My skills include editing anything and everything (from textbooks to short stories, SEO content to graduate theses), copyediting, copywriting, proofreading, line editing, general/substantive editing, unique fiction writing, ghostwriting, writing editorial content on a variety of topics (film, television, music, sports, food, travel, health, SEO content, etc.), and researching and fact-checking. My main goal on Upwork is to help you create the most polished and creative product imaginable. So, if you're a fiction writer looking to take your manuscript to the next level, a content creator in need of some final last-minute touches on a blog post, or someone who needs an inspired and highly imaginative writer to deliver on some professional editorial/fiction pieces, then I'm the man for the job!
