I'm a published author myself, which means I understand both sides of the page the emotional vulnerability of trusting someone else with your story, and the craft precision it takes to honor that trust on the page. I write in your voice, not mine. My process begins with deep listening interviews, conversations, and close reading of your existing writing so the final manuscript sounds like the best, most articulate version of you.
I'm multilingual, with English and additional language fluency, which makes me especially equipped for clients whose stories cross cultural contexts or whose natural voice blends multiple influences.

Writing a book is a journey, and sometimes you need help taking the first step. Don’t freak out, I’m here to help because that is my job.
I know that writing a book comes with different feelings, especially if you have an idea burning inside you, but don’t know how to compose your thoughts into a coherent piece of writing. It’s like a singing bird trapped in a cage, looking for ways to escape confinement and be free.
You have taken a huge step by coming to this platform seeking help from professionals, but that’s just the start.
Hi, I'm Temitope, and I know exactly what you want, which I'll explain in a bit. But first, let me tell you what I can do. And I am sure, by the end of this, you’d be interested in going through the journey of releasing that singing bird with me.
I excel at discovering an author’s true voice. Now I hope you understand the significance of this because it’s everything. It’s like being in a crowd where everyone is talking in a different pitch and volume, but there is a set of people looking for you, and the only way to get to you is by recognizing “YOUR VOICE” amidst thousands of others. That’s what readers want! A voice they can identify and relate with among others saying relatively the same thing.
Before I can capture your voice in writing, I have to be willing to listen and metamorphose myself into your point of view. I discovered it's mostly difficult for writers to listen, that’s why you’d see some clients complaining about a finished project, saying things like “THIS DOESN’T SOUND LIKE ME.”
My eight years of commitment as a full-time ghostwriter, focusing on helping my clients become successful authors, make me an ideal go-to writer with a listening ear.
I have ghostwritten over 100 novels in the last eight years. Many of those have gone straight to publication. I have had several clients who worked with me for over 11 months, as I am primarily interested in longer works and book series.
These are my areas of expertise.
1) CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE NOVEL. One indisputable formula for a successful romance Author is creating a medium for readers to escape reality. Readers are not interested in difficult love situations without HEAs. The truth is, everyone has experienced their share of love. Be it bitter or sweet—that’s their reality! But romance novels are a means for readers to escape reality for a few hours not trapped in one.
So, if you are an author who want to create interesting fantasy romance with HEAs where readers can lose themselves for a few hours countless times a day regardless of the steamy level be it EROTIC (for those looking to go over the edge,) HOT STEAMY level for moderate sexual scenes or SWEET & AWESOME for conservatives, I’m here for you. And if you are from the FPA, I know exactly what you want as I’m familiar with your writing instruction and guidelines.
2) Non-fiction Books. As a resourceful writer with a keen eye for research,I excel at developing self-help books tailored for a unique target audience. The popular misconception about self-help books is that they represent readers' expectations with fact-based content that can help them become better than they were before reading the book. Because personally, I can’t imagine reading a book that leaves me with more questions than answers. That’s where most writers go south, creating more questions instead of providing an answer to why the readers picked the book in the first place.
3) Cozy mystery is another forte of expertise I excel in, which employs a crime-solving amateur sleuth with humor and a close-knit community or small town where sex and violence occur off stage. This project requires a great wit and a creative mind to fully represent the readers' expectations.
WHAT YOU WANT IS A GHOSTWRITING PARTNER INSTEAD OF RELYING ON PAYING 20$/MONTH FOR AI SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Saying I don’t know about AI means I live under a rock or I’m from the medieval age, not after big tech companies have spent billions of dollars, using LLMs and code to generate data-driven results, but that’s all there is. Data! NO feelings or heart.
And I know that’s why you're here, instead of paying $20/month for AI subscriptions. You want someone with feelings and a heart you can talk to, reason with, and who is just as good as some set of programs generating superficial results in seconds.
SEND ME A DIRECT MESSAGE OR SEND ME AN INVITE TO YOUR JOB LISTING, AND THAT CAN BE THE BEGINNING OF A SUCCESS STORY.
Regards
Temitope.

I am a skilled and dedicated writer offering high quality marketing content to businesses, founders, and entrepreneurs.
If you're in need of persuasive sales copy or educational content that positions you and your brand as an authority, I'm your guy.
My services include Web Copy, Blogs, Emails, Social Media Posts, Slide Decks, Case Studies, Courses, Speeches, Presentations, Books, Proofreading, Editing, and more.
Having grown up as a bit of a geek in the 90s, when computers were just becoming mainstream, I have an affinity for technical topics, though I'm also very people orientated and hold a degree in Psychology. That's why my specialisms cover a broad base, including: SaaS, Tech, Cybersecurity, IT, AI Innovation, Finance, Real Estate, Wellness, Mental Health, and Self-improvement.
When you work with me, you can expect content that converts, clear and swift communications, fast turnarounds, and laser focus. Most importantly, you can expect 100% diligence and effort every time, and for work to be delivered with expertise, professionalism, and a friendly, jovial nature.
Timezone: I am based in the UK but I work to US time zones as most of my clients are based there. I usually respond within an hour or less (when I'm awake).
Background:
As well as having earned over $100k on Upwork with an average 5* rating for delivering high impact written content, I also live and breathe writing in my personal life. I have an academic background in English, and I've always enjoyed reading books, poetry, blogs, and all manner of online content. I love big ideas and innovations that have the potential to make the world a better place. Beyond writing, I am a multi-instrument musician, a PC gamer, and an avid foodie!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit about my process:
I believe great writing isn't just about choosing the right words. It's about seeing the world through your reader's eyes, and putting them at the center of the narrative. This is the case whether you're trying to sell products and services, build a brand, or just tell a great story.
Of course, you know your vision and ideal customer better than anyone. But if you don't have the time or energy to write valuable, strategic content yourself, then you need to entrust it to someone. Specifically, someone who will work diligently to develop a deep understanding of your product, mission, services, and story, so that they can do it justice (while you do more important stuff!).
That's where I come in.
Before I write a word, I work to truly understand your brand, your voice, and - most importantly - your intended audience: what they think, feel, want, and need. Then, I create content that speaks directly to their inner worlds.
For businesses, this results in:
- More conversions and leads
- Lasting authority in their space
- Increased engagement
So why should you work with me? Well, beyond having an approach to writing and marketing that actually works in 2026, I've got a solid track record. I've produced marketing content for industry leading brands such as Wise, eTip, and Landlord Studio, and in the process, I've maintained a 5* rating, having worked with over 80 clients. I'm dedicated, highly communicative, and reliable. And most of all, I have a real desire to deliver results for the people I work with. I'm genuinely passionate about innovation, and I enjoy amplifying great ideas and initiatives.
If you're serious about growing your reach and connecting with your audience on a deeper level, let's talk.
Looking forward to working together,
Jack

Book Editor & Ghostwriter | Developmental | Line | Copy | KDP Formatting
Most authors come to me after realizing the same thing: a talented writer and a publication-ready manuscript are not the same thing.
I've worked with 25+ authors across fiction and nonfiction. The gap between the two is almost never about talent. It's structure. Voice. Consistency. The things a good editor catches before a publisher or reader does.
My background is a little unusual. Before books, I was a field journalist and correspondent, an information assurance manager at Leidos, and an analyst with the FBI. That history shows up in how I read. I notice what's missing from a narrative. I flag accuracy and consistency problems that slip past readers who aren't trained to look. I think at the structural level, whether that's plot or argument, because that's how I was trained to work with documents. A Christian fiction novel gets the same attention I once gave federal-level work.
What I do:
Ghostwriting
For authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who have the ideas and need someone to build the manuscript. I work from conversations, emails, or outlines and write in your voice. Fiction and nonfiction: novels, business books, memoirs, self-help, personal development.
Developmental Editing
Plot structure, character arcs, pacing, point of view, narrative logic, audience alignment. The big-picture pass everything else depends on.
Line Editing
Sentence and paragraph-level work. Your voice stays intact. The weak spots get fixed.
Copy Editing
Grammar, punctuation, timeline consistency, style guide adherence. Chicago Manual of Style, APA, MLA, or your publisher's house style.
Proofreading
The final pass before your manuscript goes to an agent, publisher, or self-publishing platform.
KDP & Kindle Formatting
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing formatting for self-publishing authors, ebook and print-ready.
Beta Reading & Manuscript Critique
Detailed reader feedback with marketability evaluation. Full editorial letters for authors still working through early revision.
Genres I work in:
Christian and inspirational fiction. Romance (contemporary, historical, paranormal). Memoir and personal narrative. Business, self-help, and personal development. Health, wellness, and lifestyle. Literary and women's fiction. Creative nonfiction.
Faith-based manuscripts are a particular strength. I understand both the spiritual content and the publishing landscape for Christian literature, and those aren't the same thing.
What every project includes:
Track Changes and detailed margin comments throughout. A custom style sheet built for your book: character names, preferred spellings, stylistic choices, timeline notes. Developmental and line edits include a full editorial letter. I'm available for follow-up questions once you're working through revisions.
Before we start:
I offer a sample edit on your first 1,000 to 1,500 words at no charge. You'll see how I work before committing to anything.
Google Docs or Microsoft Word with Track Changes. Complete confidentiality. Delivery on the agreed timeline.
Send me a message with your genre, word count, and timeline.
