I love books so much that I got a degree in library sciences to prove it! From fanfic to manuscripts, I've always been the go-to editor in my friend group, identifying everything from plot holes and clunky writing to reshaping character arcs. My eagle-eyed attention to detail, combined with my know-how of reader trends, has helped authors refine their manuscripts to their fullest potential. If you're looking for an editor or beta reader who knows how to work with authors and the people who read their books, I'm your gal!

I’m a freelance writer and editor with a B.S. in Psychology, specializing in blog content, creative writing, and polished, reader-friendly editing and reports. Whether you need engaging articles, compelling storytelling, or clean and professional proofreading, I can help. ~ Blog + article writing (SEO-friendly if needed) ~ Creative writing + character/worldbuilding support ~ Ghostwriting in your voice or brand tone ~ Proofreading + line editing for clarity and flow ~ Trauma-informed, emotionally resonant content ~ Reliable communication + on-time delivery I write in areas like mental health, parenting, autism advocacy, relationships, women’s empowerment, and fantasy fiction—but I’m adaptable to most topics and tones. Clear expectations, fast response time, and professional quality matter to me. So let’s work together to make your project stand out!

I write well-researched articles across a wide range of topics and help authors prepare their work for readers or publication. I work across a variety of topics, taking the time to research, organize information, and present it clearly and effectively. My goal is to deliver work that is clear, engaging, and ready for readers or publication. My experience includes blog articles, informational content, product-related writing, and academic-style work, and I am comfortable using APA, MLA, and CMOS citation styles when needed. In addition to writing, I work with authors by providing early-stage (alpha) and beta reading feedback. I focus on clarity, pacing, and overall reader experience—highlighting what is working well and where readers may become confused or lose interest. My goal is to provide useful, honest insight without rewriting or editing your work. I format manuscripts into clean, simple ePub files, ensuring consistent structure, navigation, and readability across devices so your book is ready for upload. I focus on clarity, organization, and preparing content so it is ready for its next step—whether that is publication, posting, or revision. Best fit: clients who need well-researched articles, or authors preparing their work for publication. Note: I do not offer full editing or ghostwriting services. I specialize in article writing, research, reader feedback, and ePub formatting. I also do not accept paid review requests, but I’m happy to provide beta reading and reader-focused feedback.

I am an author/ghostwriter, screenwriter, editor, beta reader, book formatter, transcriptionist, researcher, and virtual assistant with 21 years' experience. I offer all my own work, I never use AI, but I also specialize in "humanizing" AI-written stories. I have ghostwritten various novels, biographies, and screenplays. My fiction specialties include science fiction, fantasy and thrillers. I have been script editor for the award-winning Jonas McCord (Malice, The Body) most recently on the anticipated film Into Thin Air. I've also worked with screenwriter Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp, The Hurricane) and producer and screenwriter Joseph Mallozzi (Stargate, Dark Matter). Additionally, I've worked on various theological and academic projects. Whatever you need, I will provide it!

For the past 8 years, I have built my career around one purpose—helping authors tell their stories with clarity, intention, and impact. From untangling plot structures that aren't quite working to line editing prose until every sentence earns its place, I bring the same level of craft and dedication to every manuscript that crosses my desk. I am an editorial specialist and published fiction author with extensive experience across dark romance, paranormal, contemporary romance, fantasy, and horror. I have worked on manuscripts ranging from short fiction to novels exceeding 100,000 words, delivering developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, proofreading, beta reading, and romance ghostwriting services to indie authors, first-time writers, and established authors alike. My background as both an editor and a working author gives me a perspective that goes beyond the technical. I understand what it takes to bring a story from concept to publication-ready manuscript. Whether you are publishing your first novel, building a Kindle Unlimited catalog, or simply need a trusted editorial partner to help elevate your work, I am here to provide professional, thoughtful, and author-centered support at every stage of the process. I believe great editorial work is a collaboration. My role is not to rewrite your story; it is to help you see it more clearly so you can make it everything you intended it to be. Let's work together.

Still waters. Strong voice. And stories that actually sound human. Hi, I’m Shanti — a narrative writer, meticulous proofreader, and beta reader with 15+ years in communication, training, and gently guiding brands (and people) toward words that feel like them. For years, I’ve worked behind the scenes — building tone of voice, content, and connection wherever it was needed… sometimes even before anyone asked. Now, I bring that same clarity and care to writers and creators looking to refine their stories before they go out into the world. I’m here for the good stuff: Founder bios that feel lived-in, not copy-pasted Brand stories with warmth, wit, and structure Training scripts that teach without putting people to sleep Internal comms that get to the point (without needing three follow-ups and a “let’s circle back”) Beta reading for fiction and creative non-fiction — honest, detailed feedback on flow, tone, pacing, and emotional impact Proofreading and line editing that polish your content for clarity, rhythm, and professionalism I write and edit with calm, clarity, and that quiet persistence that gets the job done. New to Upwork, but not new to refining words — or turning vague one-liners like “clean but edgy, professional but not boring” into content that actually works. If that sounds like what you need — let’s talk.

My name is Jennifer, and I have been a ghostwriter here for ten years, but I have been writing for years. I am a self-published author of a novel and a few novellas and started writing on fanfiction sites and other similar spots online and loved interacting with my readers. What will you get working with me? I have been top-rated for the better part of my time here, and you can see all my feedback here. I love to communicate with clients, and a long-term business relationship is ideal for me. You will get a clean document that I send through ProWritingAid, and reading through it myself, though I would always advise you to have an editor or an extra pair of eyes just to catch everything. I keep my deadlines in mind, but I have no issues communicating about something that comes up as life happens with myself and you, the client. I like to keep that open always. Besides this, I have a bachelor's degree in English and Creative Writing after many years of not pursuing college, and love it. I already had my AA degree. Go me!!
