I am a published writer of short-form horror and supernatural fiction. I self-published my debut novel in October 2025 to positive reviews and sales.
I have a keen ear and eye for dialogue, tone, storytelling and stylistic touches.
My background in education (both UK secondary and university) has given me deep experience of providing constructive and careful feedback. I will typically provide written feedback as in-text comments with accompanying summaries, if necessary. I have a very adaptable style which allows me to view each project as its own distinct entity and means I won't apply my own style to your work -- rather I will enhance your voice as an author.
I can also provide work to support with evaluating and strengthening AI chatbot models as well as support with writing CVs, cover letters and preparing for job interviews.

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.

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.

I’m a writer who turns ideas into confidence – and no, I’m not a vampire, even though I’m Romanian with Transylvanian blood and often awake at night giving life to words.
I'm not a magician either, but I know how to transform a blank sheet of paper into a captivating story, a text that sells, and to make the ideas meaningful to people. Maybe that's why some people say I drink ink instead of water.
For more than 15 years, I have worked in sales and marketing for companies across Romania. Before that, I worked as a proofreader for Romanian translations and as a journalist, including in radio and television. In every project I take on, I combine vivid words with strategic thinking.
Here's what you'll get if we work together:
• Copy that sells – persuasive, customer-focused writing
• Attractive and exciting content – blogs and articles that people actually read
• Captivating stories – creative writing that connects with readers
• Scripts that hold attention – engaging narratives for video or audio
• Dependability – I'd rather turn down a project than deliver an average result
I'm not here to just throw words on paper; I'm here to connect you with your audience, grow your business, and get your message into people's hearts.
If you're looking for a writer who has strategic thinking and offers outside-the-box solutions, let's talk. That person might be me.
