Would your clinic, health platform, or writing project benefit from a medically trained professional who blends clinical precision with empathetic communication, calm support, and editorial finesse? With 20+ years of experience as a surgical and clinic nurse at Kaiser Permanente, my insight earned from thousands of real-life patient interactions will support your projects. From procedure rooms to post-op care, your content, admin systems, or written work will be grounded in both medical accuracy and clarity — no need to explain the difference between an IV and an EKG or how to talk to a patient who’s scared. Your projects may also benefit from my broader passions: solo travel across Europe, the study of French and other languages, a lifelong love of reading and storytelling, a sharp eye for tone and detail, plus a music degree in the string bass. That background helps me communicate in a way that’s both technically sound and deeply human — supporting professionals, patients, and writers alike. Continue reading for specific ways I can help your work thrive and your message land with clarity and care. ~Medical Writing & Patient Education~ Healthcare communication demands more than textbook knowledge — it requires compassion, discernment and the ability to meet readers where they are. By helping patients navigate surgery, recovery, and outpatient care for decades, your educational materials will reflect the real needs and real questions people face when dealing with procedures, diagnoses, or important wellness decisions. Whether it’s a one-sheet for clinic patients or long-form health content for a broader audience, your readers receive calm, easy-to-understand information that empowers rather than overwhelms. Combining my nursing background with strong skills in health copywriting and patient education means you’ll get content that serves both your audience and your team. Having guided thousands of patients through pre-op jitters and post-op instructions, your projects will benefit from medical writing that turns fear into understanding — and instructions into action. Let’s work together to create patient-facing content that supports understanding, confidence, and better outcomes. Please see my portfolio for more examples of my work. ~Medical Virtual Assistant & Healthcare Admin Support~ Behind every great provider, wellness program, or telehealth platform is someone who keeps the details on track and the tone aligned. Navigating 20+ years in my career managing clinical workflows, reviewing medical transcription, and supporting patients in high-pressure settings, your practice will benefit from a medical virtual assistant who already understands the pace and privacy needs of care delivery. From refining clinical document review materials to transforming post-visit notes into checklists or plain-language summaries, you can count on my initiative and adaptability to your tasks. With firsthand knowledge of HIPAA compliance and administrative processes, expect projects with less overwhelm for you and your clients alike. Day in-day out through decades in clinical environments, your administrative workflows will gain a trusted assistant with real-world judgment, calm communication, and deep familiarity with healthcare admin support systems. If your project needs a VA who is detail-oriented, kind under pressure, and fluent in health operations, let’s talk. ~Beta Reading & Proofreading for Impact~ As a lifelong book lover, narrative listener, and self-proclaimed grammar sleuth, you’ll receive feedback that’s precise, encouraging, and deeply attuned to voice and rhythm. Bringing a lifetime of editing instructions, summaries, and patient guidance, your writing will benefit from line editing and content editing that balances clarity with compassion — whether you’re working on a novel, a blog, or a coaching program. If you’re looking for someone to review your writing with both care and candor, I offer beta reading and grammar editing that supports your story, in your voice, while catching what others miss. Let’s take your work from draft to polished — with thoughtful critique, technical clean-up, and a focus on flow. If you’re ready for feedback that’s kind, honest, and sharp as a scalpel, I’m here to help bring your project to life. For a freelance partner who brings medical integrity, editorial precision, and a deeply human touch to everything from clinic materials to creative manuscripts, click “Hire” to get started.

Education in information technology. Experience in writing and editing. Completed many writing projects on a variety of topics.

You did not spend months writing a book to have it dismissed because of a comma. You wrote it to be read, to be felt, and to be remembered. I am a book editor and proofreader who takes that seriously. My role is to stand between your manuscript and your readers as a final line of defence, catching every error, tightening every sentence, and making sure the only thing standing out in your book is your writing. Whether you are preparing for self-publication on Amazon KDP or submitting to a traditional publisher, I bring the technical precision and creative insight your work deserves without ever touching your voice. Developmental editing This is where we look at the full architecture of your manuscript. I assess plot structure, character consistency, pacing, point of view, and narrative logic. If your story has holes, contradictions, or chapters that slow the reader down, I will identify them and give you a clear, actionable roadmap for revision. This service is ideal for authors who have finished a first draft and need honest, high-level feedback before going any further. Line editing Line editing works at the sentence and paragraph level. I refine the rhythm of your prose, eliminate weak phrasing, tighten overwritten passages, and sharpen the emotional impact of every scene. Your voice stays intact throughout. The goal is not to rewrite your book but to make it sound like the best version of you. Copy editing Copy editing is the technical backbone of a polished manuscript. I correct grammar, punctuation, syntax, and spelling to a professional standard, following the Chicago Manual of Style. I also flag inconsistencies in character names, timelines, and terminology to ensure your manuscript is coherent and internally consistent from the first page to the last. Proofreading Proofreading is the final gatekeeper before your work reaches readers. After all other editing is complete, I perform a meticulous read specifically for lingering typos, formatting errors, incorrect punctuation, and the small but jarring mistakes that survive every earlier pass. Strong error detection at this stage is what separates a professional publication from an amateur one. AI content editing If you have used AI tools to assist with your draft, I will edit and refine the output so it reads as fully human, natural, and consistent in voice. A thorough editorial pass is now an essential step for anyone working with AI-assisted writing, and I ensure the final manuscript reflects your ideas the way only a human editor can. Not every author arrives with a finished draft. Some have the ideas, the expertise, or the story, but need someone to translate them into polished, publishable prose. That is the other half of what I do. Alongside my editorial work, I am an experienced ghostwriter who can take your vision from concept to completed manuscript, writing entirely in your voice so that the words on the page sound like you at your very best. Fiction ghostwriting I write across romance, literary fiction, mystery, thriller, and contemporary drama. Whether you need a complete novel, a series outline brought to life, or specific chapters written to fill gaps in your manuscript, I bring the same narrative precision to your fiction that I bring to my editorial work. Non-fiction ghostwriting I work across a wide range of non-fiction niches, including personal development and self-help, business and entrepreneurship, health and wellness, memoir and biography, faith and spirituality, parenting and family, and finance and investing. If you have the knowledge and the audience but need someone to organise your ideas into a book that actually gets read, I can build that manuscript for you from the ground up. How I work All edits are delivered inside Microsoft Word Track Changes, giving you full visibility and complete control over every change. You decide what stays and what goes. I follow the Chicago Manual of Style as my technical standard, work to clear timelines, and provide consistent communication from the moment we start until the final file is in your hands. You did not come this far with your manuscript to publish something less than your best. Send me a message, and I will provide a complimentary 1,000-word sample edit or a ghostwriting sample so you can see the quality for yourself before you commit to anything.

I'm a versatile writer with expertise across technical documentation, content creation, and editorial services, helping businesses communicate clearly through well-crafted written content. My experience spans technical writing including standard operating procedures and maintenance manuals, business content like articles and social media posts, creative writing including fiction stories, and comprehensive editorial services from proofreading to content optimization. Whether working independently or collaborating with AI tools, I adapt my writing style to match your brand voice and audience needs, delivering clear, engaging content that balances technical accuracy with reader comprehension. I'm available for both short-term projects and ongoing partnerships, and I'm committed to helping you communicate your message effectively while meeting deadlines and exceeding expectations.

I am a veteran wordsmith. Having ghostwritten books for other people and published my own, I know how to get a project across the finish line. If you need developmental editing, line editing, or general feedback on your manuscript, I can help you fine-tune your work. I am a motivated, former journalist, who gets the job done. You can bank on it.

Your book deserves an editor who cares about it as much as you do. I'm a Top Rated book editor specializing in romance and commercial fiction, and I help authors take a manuscript from rough draft all the way to a polished, publication-ready book. Whether you need big-picture developmental feedback, careful line editing, a continuity review, a beta read, or final ebook and print formatting for Amazon KDP, I can meet your book wherever it is and carry it to the finish line. Romance is my home genre. From clean and sweet to high-heat mafia, billionaire, and enemies-to-lovers stories, I know what your readers came for. If your dual POV needs balancing, your emotional pacing needs tightening, or your heat level needs dialing to your audience's expectations, I'll get it there without ever flattening your voice. And if you're deep into a series and worried that book seven contradicts something from book two, that is exactly the kind of problem I love solving. I also work with memoir and nonfiction authors who need help shaping real stories with clarity, structure, and emotional impact. Your story stays yours. My job is to make it clearer, stronger, and more compelling for the reader. Behind every project is nearly a decade of publishing house experience across the full editorial process, and I bring that same standard to your book: honest feedback when the draft needs structure, careful line work when the pages need polish, and clean, print-ready files in Vellum or Atticus when you're ready to publish. Many of my authors stay with me from first read to final files. A recent client said it best: "Rebecca took my rough manuscript and polished it into a novel I'm truly proud to share with the world." If you want an editor who will protect your voice, tell you the truth about what your book needs, and care about getting it right, send me a message. I'd love to hear about your project.

Hi there! I'm Kendall, and I am an editor, reader, and fellow writer passionate about helping others bring their stories to life—especially in the romance, fantasy, and YA spaces. I'm new to the UpWork platform but not new to the work! I have a B.S. in Journalism and am in the final semester of my Masters in Creative Writing program. I bring both technical expertise and a love for storytelling to every project. I’ve edited and workshopped 100+ pieces across genres, and my hands-on experience spans the entire process, from developmental edits and alpha/beta reading to final proofreading and ARC reviews. As an avid reader, who is active in the Bookstagram and BookTok communities, I have a deep and current understanding of genre conventions and reader expectations. I have a special interest in romance and fantasy spaces, as well as those focusing on platonic and familial love, and I love stories with chemistry, depth, and smart banter. I can help you shape a story readers won’t want to put down, and I can deliver a fast turnaround and collaborative feedback. My editing style is honest, constructive, and always in service of your vision. I provide both in-line commentary (via Track Changes or Google Docs) and summary notes to highlight what’s working and what can be strengthened. As a writer myself, I know how personal this process is, and I’ll treat your manuscript with the care and respect it deserves. Whether you're polishing a first draft or finalizing for publication, I’d love to be your partner in the process, and I can't wait to work with you!

Most authors who come to me have been circling their real argument for years. They know something is there. They can't quite name it yet. I find it. Then I show them exactly how to build around it. My name is Whitney Noziska and I'm the founder of a Narrative Consultancy in Los Angeles. Authors trust me with the messy version of their thinking, and I take that seriously. Cultivating that trust is the part of this work I love most. Berrett-Koehler Publishers keeps me on their roster for special projects that need a keener eye. Professional ghostwriters consult me and I'm frequently hired by authors after other developmental editors have already worked on their manuscripts. Authors I've worked with have been distributed by Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Wiley. I primarily work with subject matter experts: scientists, professionals, academics, and thinkers who have something genuinely new to say. I read a manuscript asking three questions: what is this author really trying to say, why should anyone care, and is the argument being made effectively. Then I give clear, actionable recommendations with explanations, so the author understands their own work better coming out than going in. I'm equipped with an MBA and think like an acquisition editor. I know what gets picked up and why. When I recognize talent, I root for it, and when I see a resonant idea, I build toward it. Authors who work with me tend to stay in touch. If you have real thinking and need someone to help you see it clearly, send me a message. SERVICES 🌉 Concept Structure Testing 📜Full Developmental Edits CLIENT PROFILE I work best with authors who have something genuinely original to say and know it, but can't yet see their own argument or narrative clearly enough to make it land. Subject matter experts. But also fantastic fiction writers, screenwriters and documentarians. Writers serious about contribution. I invest my time in projects and authors I like. If you're looking for line edits, grammar polish, or a fast turnaround on a cleanup job, I'm not the right fit. NOTE I don't offer ghostwriting services. I can work with your ghostwriter on concept and structure, but I am not a ghostwriter.
