I finish projects, I meet deadlines, and I have no ego about being told what to do. If you need someone who shows up, does the work, and makes your vision a priority over their own, that's me. I am an enthusiastic, eclectic reader. I will read anything. I bring that energy to every beta read, developmental edit, copy edit, and line edit I take on. I read fast, I respond quickly, and my feedback is detailed, careful, and kind. I grasp story arcs instinctively and I am particularly sensitive to character development, pacing, emotional beats, and emotional arcs. For nonfiction, I assess logic, rigor, and readability: whether the argument holds, whether the ideas flow, and whether readers can actually follow and absorb the content. Because I edit as I go, fixing grammar and smoothing prose in real time, my reads are thorough without being slow. Every beta read includes inline comments addressing prose, pacing, and grammar alongside a separate structured report covering my overall reaction, arc and character progression at different stages of the manuscript, and specific recommendations for revision. You will come away knowing exactly what landed and exactly what needs work. I am also a published author and ghostwriter specializing in psychology, relationships, sexuality, parenting, and education. I write and love romance fiction: the slow burn, the banter, the tension that keeps readers turning pages. I am eager to bring that enthusiasm and experience to collaborative romance and fiction projects. I am currently completing my third nonfiction book, Prayer in the Bible: A Study of the Non-Supernatural Effects of Prayer, so you can be confident you are working with a writer who is actively in the craft.

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 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

**Interested in part-time, remote evening, or per project (especially in the beta-reading/proofreading/Bookkeeping catch-up areas). I am employed 9-5 EST but would love an opportunity to work on projects in the evenings and during lunch/weekends. I am NOT looking for full-time as I love my job. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business and Marketing. My Associates was in Accounting. I have been in Accounting for over 35 years. In those years I have also edited many articles/white pages for my organization, and published multiple newsletters (with graphics). I do have samples of the newsletters should you need them. I will take small projects to build my rep and feedback on Upwork. As a staff accountant at American Heritage Insurance Group/The Insurance Connection, I apply my accounting and marketing skills to support the financial operations and growth of the company. I have over 35 years of experience in accounting, having worked as a Senior Accounting Manager at Beiser Trucking and an Accounting Administrator at The Phoenix Group Holding Company. My core competencies include managing accounts payable and receivable, preparing financial statements and reports, reconciling bank accounts, and overseeing payroll and taxes. I also have strong, proven expertise in QuickBooks (online and desktop), Sage 50 Premium, and Microsoft Outlook. This knowledge helps me streamline and automate accounting processes and workflows. Additionally, I have a passion for organizing and hosting events, such as fundraisers, seminars, and conferences, to promote the company's brand and services. I have been the go-to for all things grammar/editing for business and personal. I am an avid reader, book reviewer, writer, and I enjoy the editing and review processes.

I'm an aspiring voice actor and singer with a natural talent for character voices, sound effects, and expressive narration. While I don’t have formal studio experience yet, voice work has been a creative passion for years. My vocal range covers everything from the bright tone of a young child to the confident voice of an adult woman, to the playful rasp of a grandpa. I also mimic animal and character sounds, including Blue from Blue’s Clues, various dog barks, and a fussy cat meow. In addition to voice acting, I sing and enjoy bringing songs to life with emotion and character—especially in kids’ content, animation, and musical storytelling. I love memorizing and dubbing scenes from my favorite shows and movies (after just a few watches!), and I bring that same enthusiasm and detail into every project. I'm especially interested in voice work for animation, audiobooks, kids' content, documentaries, film, social media, education, business, narration, and commercials. Whether you're looking for a lively character voice, a clear and warm narrator, unique sound effects, or vocals that enhance your story, I’d love to collaborate and help bring your vision to life. My availability is from 10PM - 12AM CST, 7 days a week.

Hello! I’m an early-rising, coffee-drinking, book-loving freelance editor who is passionate about children’s literature and picture books. I aim to encourage, inspire, and lend a helping hand along your journey as an author. Many editors focus on grammar alone. I focus on how your story feels to a child—and how it connects with who it’s meant to reach. I specialize in read-aloud flow, ensuring your story sounds natural, engaging, and enjoyable in any setting. I also bring a strong awareness of audience and market positioning, helping your book meet the expectations of its target readers. I work with picture books, early readers, and middle grade manuscripts, supporting authors at every stage—from big-picture structure and pacing to final polish. My Experience... With over a decade of editing experience, I use my bachelor's in education and editing training from the University of Michigan to focus specifically on children’s and picture book manuscripts. Over the past several years, I've worked with many wonderful authors—from debut authors to best-selling. Often, authors I’ve worked with include me in the acknowledgements of their published books. Beyond my experience and training, I truly know kids’ books. So well, in fact, I have quite a few favs I can read to my little guys without looking at the words (but don’t tell them). I’m well acquainted with classic authors like Bill Peet, Lois Lensky, and Maurice Sendak. I know authors who have been around for a while, like Laura Numeroff, Stan and Jan Berenstain, and Patricia Polacco. And I keep up with newer authors like Jez Alborough, James Dean, and Karma Wilson. I even have a vintage children’s book collection (something my husband fails to fully appreciate, lol). Let’s Work Together... I know what makes a good book, and, more importantly, I know how to make one just a little better. I can help you add that unique flair, catch that wee little thing kids won’t like or may stumble on, or shine up a line that will bring an extra-big laugh. All you need to know about me before we work together is that I’m a Christian, and I try to ensure the projects I take on reflect my beliefs. I’m flexible, easy to work with, and honest. Never a need to be nervous or fearful about handing over your manuscript. I’d like us to be a team and make your book the best it can be. My goal is to be helpful by finding mistakes, offering suggestions, and providing constructive, encouraging feedback.

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.
