I have been a professional financial industry, insurance, and real estate, fintech, medtech and healthcare industry journalist and marketing writer since 2000. I cut my teeth as a staff reporter for Mutual Funds Magazine, then one of the FORTUNE Group titles at Time, Inc., I also have MARCOM agency experience as a creative and as a director of business development. My strengths are in investing, insurance, HR, employee benefits, personal finance, and healthcare related content. Where possible, I leverage AI technology to help keep client costs down. I'm well ahead of most writers in this regard, who haven't caught up with best practices in using ChatGPT, Claude, and related technologies. I've been published by Time, Inc., the Journal of Financial Planning, as well as outlets like NerdWallet, SeekingAlpha.com, Bankrate, WealthManagement.com, Healthcare Business Review, CIO.com, ValuePenguin.com, Nasdaq.com, Life & Health Pro, ThinkAdvisor, and many others. I've ghostwritten multiple books on personal finance, estate planning, real estate, insurance/risk management, and HR topics. Additionally, I've written or ghostwritten countless white papers, newsletter articles, blog posts, custom publishing projects and e-books. I'm also a 23-year Army veteran with a combat deployment and multiple company command tours. Thank you for your time and attention, and I look forward to working with you! Jason Kailua, Hawaii

Aloha, I'm Nathan Donahoe, a Native English speaker and real human being who doesn't just copy and paste your questions into ChatGPT to give you the answers you want to hear! In 2025 I've helped my clients submit more than $1.6 million in grants with work spanning affordable housing, vocational training, animal welfare, faith based organizations, business certification, and international fundraising strategy. I love helping nonprofits I believe in get funding! I have over 20 years of experience in marketing, storytelling, and business development, including studying Critical Studies of Film and Television at USC, which shapes how I build donor-focused narratives that stand out from generic applications. A Legal Secretary certificate sharpens my eye for compliance language in every proposal and report. I now help mission-driven nonprofits across the US and internationally secure funding and successfully implement their projects. I specialize in: -Identifying the right grant opportunities -Crafting compelling, authentic proposals and LOIs -Building strong budgets and support documentation -Post-award reporting and compliance support Services Offered: -Grant Research, Writing & Full Proposal Development -Grant Acquisition Packages (flat fee + optional success bonus) -Post-Award Reporting & Implementation Support Based in Hawaii, working with nonprofits nationwide and abroad. Message me your funding need and I'll tell you within a day whether it's a fit and roughly what it'll take.

I have 17+ years of experience in writing and editing on mostly medical topics, but I can write on just about anything. I have written thousands of articles, blogs, eBooks, courses, and full-length books in my career as a writer. As a physician, I specialize in medical, health, and wellness articles, and e-books, and have written full-length books on dermatology, pregnancy, nursing, and medical assisting. I have researched and written dozens of audio courses for healthcare professionals. I also specialize in editing manuscripts and articles. I have a keen eye for mistakes in spelling and grammar. I have a medical doctorate degree and a BS in biochemistry so I can work on scientific projects as well.

Well-seasoned writer and curriculum specialist working on my PhD in Humanistic Psychology with a specialization in Creativity, Innovation, and Leadership. My preference is working in collaborative environments filled with people striving to make themselves and the world a better place. I love storytelling in all its forms. It's human nature to connect through stories. That's why I like to form relationships with my clients. I want to know what story you want to tell. I want to know what journey you want your audience or your students to take. I have over two decades of experience in developmental editing, educational media, narrative fiction and non-fiction, and content for children. As a developmental/story editor, I've worked with authors, screenwriters, directors, publishers, and producers. If you need creative content, I've written for print, film, TV, stage, and web. I also have an extensive background in teaching writing and developing curriculum. I believe effective curriculum reveals ideas like a story. If you are not sure whether you need a story editor, developmental editor, or writing coach, I am happy to provide a needs assessment for your project to see if it’s something I can help you with. I can cater my writing services to whatever stage your project is in. I want to help your idea find its best voice. My interests are as diverse as my experience. I never know what I’m going to fall in love with. I am a literary mutt, a geek for clever wordplay, a devourer of memoirs, and a sucker for a well-placed semi-colon or rhyming couplet. I am drawn toward the quirky, innovative, whimsical, and fantastic.
