Once your writing is out of your hands, it speaks for you. My ghostwriting, copy editing, and proofreading will help you make the best first impression on your readers.
As an editor and published author with decades of experience, I can take your project in whatever shape it’s in and make it ready for your agent, publisher, or academic committee.
Why hire me and not a competitor? Because whatever “space” you’re in—business, the arts, teaching, the humanities, the sciences (natural and social)—I’ve probably had a client or two in it. I’ll quickly “get” what your writing needs. Confirm my grasp of your problem, and I’ll get to work solving it, interacting with you along the way as much or as little as you see fit. And as my clients will attest, I’m very easy to get along with!
Here's what you can expect:
"Anthony was a great find for this project. He completed the job successfully, exactly as I was looking for. What a relief that I found this gem of a writer. I'm very pleased with the results. Anthony masterfully created an intriguing read from my initial gibberish! Although I've read at least several thousand books, when I tried to write this, I just couldn't make it work to my satisfaction. . . . I would highly recommend Anthony, and I hope he isn't too busy for my next project after the rest of you find him."
"The job description called for copy editing and proofreading my manuscript’s first 20,000 words, but my initial cooperation with Tony justified giving him all 91,000 words to edit for content. He did that superbly, humbly, and quickly, giving my manuscript the criticism that it needed. His marginal comments are as clear as they are wise. His response time was excellent. I can recommend Tony without reservation and would gladly work with him again."
Is your English non-native? Don’t worry: let an empathetic editor remove tell-tale signs.
Shoot me a query; you have nothing to lose. I’ll get back to you right away, usually within hours. We can then, if you'd like, set up a time to chat about your project.
Let's find out what I can do for your writing!

I owe my language skills to a lifetime of obsessive reading. I love words and understand how the right one can make all the difference; I admire sentences that are elegant and convey just what is needed; I respect prose that complies perfectly with grammar rules. If these are the things you wish for your article/story/novel to have, I can help you achieve that.
I've been a professional editor now for four years, and a freelancer on Upwork for two. In this short span of time, I have worked on a diverse range of projects with many wonderful people across the globe, delivering quality work and cent percent client satisfaction every time.

Passionate perfectionist and yarnspinner.
Whether it's an academic paper on the love lives of toads, a collection of non-linear short stories, a blog about cheeses, or the next great American novel, I can offer a swift, expert copyedit. But my specialty is in analysis and developmental editing: I see the things in your work that are often too easy to miss, whether it's strengthening a delightful element you'd overlooked, or catching a misplaced character arc before it makes it out the door.
I'm also triple major in French, English Literature, and Historical Research, so you know I'm an overachiever willing to go to any lengths if it involves the written word. For years, I've helped authors reach new heights in their writing, overcome writing struggles and fears, and go on to be published, confident, and proud.
As a trained historian and English fanatic, not only can I help you get your work publisher ready, but I can help you with the research side of writing, crafting detailed worlds and consistent character arcs while giving you the skills to build your stories piece by piece.
Let's connect and chat about how we can work together!
