🏆 Top Rated Ghostwriter | Developmental Editor | Copy Editor | Proofreader | Audiobook Narrator | NYT Bestselling Experience | Book Publishing Professional Ghostwritten eight New York Times bestsellers and edited numerous bestselling titles across memoir, thriller, self-help, and narrative nonfiction. I'm a Top Rated ghostwriter, developmental editor, copy editor, line editor, proofreader, beta reader, and audiobook narrator on Upwork. Whether your book is still an idea or nearly ready to launch, I handle every stage, from writing and editing to publishing and distribution. Every word I write or narrate is 100% human and passes AI verification, guaranteed. GHOSTWRITING You bring the concept. I bring the structure, voice, pacing, and execution, across mystery, thriller, cozy mystery, romance, memoir, narrative nonfiction, business, self-help, and personal development. The result reads like a professional wrote it, because one did. DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING AND LINE EDITING I assess the full reading experience, including pacing, structure, character depth, emotional arc, and clarity, then work through the prose at the sentence level. You get the big picture and the fine details in one pass. COPY EDITING I work through your manuscript line by line for grammar, syntax, consistency, and word choice, tightening sentences and catching errors before the prose moves to final polish. This is craft-level editing, not just error correction. EDITING AND AI HUMANIZATION AI-generated drafts share a recognizable pattern: smooth sentences, flat emotion, hollow confidence. I rebuild the voice from the inside out until the prose reads as genuinely human-written. The finished manuscript passes AI detection cleanly because it was rewritten, not lightly paraphrased. PROOFREADING Final-stage proofreading before print or upload. I catch spelling, punctuation, formatting, and repetition issues that slip through earlier edits, delivering clean copy that meets publisher and platform standards. BETA READING AND ALPHA READING I read the way your actual audience will read: cold and honest, covering pacing, voice consistency, emotional payoff, and anything that pulled me out of the story. This is not a rewrite or cheerleading, but sharp, reader-focused insight from someone who understands craft and genre expectations. AUDIOBOOK NARRATION AND AUDIO PRODUCTION 900+ titles narrated. I deliver clean, emotionally present, character-aware performance ready for ACX, INaudio, and Author's Republic, plus full audio engineering: noise removal, artifact cleanup, ACX mastering, and optional ambient enhancement. Already have narration that needs post-production? I handle that too. BOOK FORMATTING AND COVER DESIGN Interior formatting and cover design that meets genre standards and platform specifications. TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING AND SELF-PUBLISHING DISTRIBUTION Pursuing an agent? I write and submit query letters, proposals, and synopses on your behalf, not just draft them. Going indie? I set up and manage distribution so your book sells on Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo, and reaches libraries through OverDrive and Hoopla, via aggregators like IngramSpark and Draft2Digital. GENRES Mystery, Thriller, Cozy Mystery, Romance, Literary Fiction, Memoir, Narrative Nonfiction, Business and Entrepreneurial Nonfiction, Self-Help, Personal Development, and General Nonfiction. WHY AUTHORS CHOOSE ME Most clients want one experienced partner instead of juggling several freelancers. I keep my client list small so every project, from first draft to audiobook distribution, gets genuine attention. Send me a message and let's discuss your project.

"The narration is top notch. This is the first time I've ever heard Tom Askin as a narrator and he does excellent job. He hits all the right notes and gets you really emotionally invested in the story and the characters. He gets you to really feel for these characters, especially the weight in the gravitas of everything this doctor feels and goes through to save people during these events." "Tom Askin is absolutely the perfect narrator for this story. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing Dr. Ethan King." "Choosing Tom Askin for the narrator of this book was brilliant. His voice (which voice can be make or break it for me when it comes to audiobooks) is perfect and exactly how I would imagine Dr. King's voice to sound. " "The narrator did a fantastic job bringing life to the characters and making them 3 dimensional. You could feel the pain and horror the characters were experiencing." "The narrator truly does an excellent job of drawing you into the story, making you care about the characters and actually feel the powerful emotions." "The narrator does a fantastic job of emitting the thoughts, emotions and his characters are real enough to be believed." With 25 years in the audio field, I am the Chief Engineer at PonderRosa Studios, a retreat recording studio 50 miles west of NYC.

Hi all, I have Narrated, edited, mastered and produced literally hundreds of audio books for Audible/ACX...Additionally, I've also done audio work for many projects, including other (Non-Audible Related) audiobooks, lots of podcast editing, intros, outro's / corporate and commercial media audio .... so, yes I have experience doing this stuff! The $50.. per hour price is 50 PFH (per finished hour for narration) typically only relates to Audio-Books, in other words, if your audiobook is three hours (about 30,000 words) then it would cost a total of $150 for the project (if I narrate), even though it takes longer than that to record edit and master the project. The bottom line, is that when it comes to audio book work that I have recorded, you usually know exactly how much it will cost in advance......If you have recorded the Audio-book yourself, the price can vary widely depending on the recorded quality and what must be done to bring it into conformity... If you simply need your self recorded book to be brought into ACX requirements and uploaded then the price for that is typically quite reasonable. PLEASE NOTE: Any hourly work that runs over 20 hours automatically gets its hourly rate reduced by 20%. Prices for SHORT-FORM narration vary by project due to the many variables, music track... noise, editing issues etc... Just contact me so we can discuss exact pricing... it will be reasonable! In other words "EVERYTHING is NEGOTIABLE!" All audio is recorded edited and mastered by me, using my studio which utilizes professional-grade gear. Thanks, Mike
