⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''I made the mistake of hiring another writer first, paid good money for what turned out to be beautifully written nonsense. It looked nice on the surface but had zero soul, zero strategy. I was gutted. That sinking feeling of knowing you've wasted time, money, and momentum? I felt that hard. Then I found her. A total saviour. I felt seen. She didn't just write the book, she channeled my vision and made it better than I ever imagined. It hits harder, connects deeper, and actually converts. Now we're on our 3rd book together!'' — 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐀., 𝟑𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 ❌ Clients don't hire me just because I'm a 𝐓𝐎𝐏-𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫. ✅ They hire me because they've seen what the wrong writer costs. Not just money. Momentum. Months. The version of the book that lived in their head before someone flattened it into something forgettable.

Most clients can't tell the difference until the manuscript lands in their inbox and something feels off. The voice is close but not quite right. The chapters are clean but somehow lifeless. The deadline was met but the vision wasn't. And somewhere underneath that disappointment lives a fear most clients never say out loud: that maybe the idea itself was the problem. That maybe their vision wasn't as strong as they thought. That the book failing was on them. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬. You're not a writer. You were never supposed to know how to spot the difference between someone who can string sentences together and someone who can carry a vision from the first page to the last without dropping it. You trusted the process. The process let you down. That's on the industry. Not on you. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰.

She had the framework, the credibility, the audience. What she didn't have was a book that made readers feel something before they'd finished chapter two. We rebuilt the narrative from the inside out. Six weeks after relaunch: 4.9 stars, 190+ reviews, and a reader who forwarded it to her entire company leadership team. She came back for book two before book one had been live a month. A romance author came to me after her series lost momentum between books — readers loved book one but dropped off before book two launched. The problem wasn't the story. It was pacing, tension, and a second-act that stopped pulling. We fixed the arc, tightened the heat, and sharpened the cliffhanger. Book two outsold book one in its first three weeks. She hasn't worked with another writer since. That's not coincidence. That's what happens when strategy and soul are in the same manuscript. 🧨 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐈 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 👉 Business books that made CEOs weep with joy 👉 Self-help guides that went viral on Amazon 👉 Steamy romances that exploded Kindle charts 👉 Cookbooks shared more than family recipes 🍲❤️ Over 7 years.

I've been at this writing game for a long, long time--over 40 years, to be exact. I've won national writing contests, published books with small presses, been the "go-to" editor for fast-turnaround "quick books" at a major publisher, and, of course, helped dozens of individual writers to become better authors. I'm the pickiest of the picky, a crackerjack speller, and The Grammarian About Whom Your Mother Warned You. I also wear a second hat: I've been a performing musician for most of my life--singing, primarily. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, have played the piano since I was 8, and am still involved in musicmaking today. My major was theory, but my first love Is voice, and I am continually fascinated by music history. What a combo, huh? 😁 So...if you want the best TLC your book can get--especially if music is also a part of your life as well--you truly can't do any better. The (Singing) Book Magician is here!

There is no vision so vast, intimate, or out there that it cannot be communicated perfectly with the right words. I write for corporations that want their kids to like them and independent creators who want their parents to respect them. With an artistic background, an eye for structure, and a compulsion for wit and lyricism, I've tended to succeed where corporate meets consumer and where independents strive for high levels of creativity and professionalism. I employ color, elegance, intelligence, humor, wordplay, a few winks, and much hard work to ensure my clients are happy. My unique angle stems from my dual areas of expertise: on the one hand, I am a well-disciplined agency writer, comfortable delivering complex work on time and within budget; on the other, I am a musician, freelancer, and contrarian who can transition seamlessly into poetry, wit, irreverence, and pithy commentary. Clients most often bring me in to: —Ghostwrite memoirs and personal transformation stories that feel rich, human, and voice-driven (including for Olympic athletes, founders, and creatives). —Write brand scripts, keynote speeches, and web copy that blend sharp messaging with emotional punch. —Craft children’s books—sometimes rhyming, often offbeat, always memorable—with emotional clarity and playfulness. Every project is different—but if the story matters, I’m in. Upwork clients have said of their experience working with me (taken from my testimonials) … —“I must say, he is nothing short of remarkable. Steve is not only incredibly talented but also an amazing human being.” —“I have yet to ask him for help on a project that he hasn’t vastly improved the idea. He is a testament to the writing profession.” —“Steve is a gift of a human. I'm glad to have met and worked with him. He truly has exceptional talent.” —“Steve did a fantastic job on a challenging assignment.” —“Usually, when I work with freelancers, the work takes weeks to months. He had it done in days and turnover in less than 24 hours. Possibly one of the best freelancers I've worked with.” —“Steve knocked our project out of the ballpark!” —“Steve is a brilliant, creative writer with a totally professional attitude. Working with him was sheer joy.” And it would be my job to ensure you are equally happy. Contacting me won’t cost you a thing. I would love to hear from you.

Hey, I’m Nisa, an award-winning creative writer, copywriter, ghost writer, screenwriter, YouTube scriptwriter, content writer, and children’s book writer. Fiction writing: Certified in fiction writing from Oxford University, I produce content focused on compelling plot and layered character development across niches such as mystery, romance, thriller, drama, and horror. Children's Literature: I position myself as a children’s book and picture book writer, specialising in creating content that not only entertains but also educates. These include moral stories for children and imaginative storytelling to balance both spectrums. Personally, this is my favourite niche as a writer because of how much you can experiment when writing for children by creating imaginative worlds. Screenwriting: As a screenwriter, I specialise in Final Draft, providing a production-ready experience. I excel in storyboarding and script editing, along with strong writing, which helps me create short films and TV scripts through a cinematic approach. However, the tone is adapted according to the requirements of the production. YouTube Scriptwriting: I am also a YouTube scriptwriter who excels at viral scripts, YouTube automation scripts, documentary scripts, and explainer scripts. I ensure I prioritise hook writing to grab the audience's attention within the first 10 seconds. Moreover, I focus on retention-based pacing by establishing a deep connection with the audience to maximise watch time, engagement, and channel growth. Content Optimization: With my vast experience in fiction creative writing, children’s books, screenwriting, ghostwriting, and scriptwriting, I can pick up weaknesses in your existing content and optimize it for better reach, engagement, and overall results. Are you ready to transform your goals into a reality? Then let’s collaborate on your next fiction project, children’s book, short film script, YouTube video script, memoir, or creative writing project.

More than a decade of experience editing, writing, and managing diverse projects including: - Non-fiction books - Fiction manuscripts - Spiritual writing - Editing content and managing writers - Creating programs and courses - Transcribing audio stories and teachings - Religious texts and Bible references - Research reports - Ghostwriting - Articles - Poetry I can adapt to the vision and style of the project, write specifically to your audience, and ensure there are no errors in syntax or semantics in any written project. In 2004, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts, honors in English. Afterward, I worked for a literary publisher, editing manuscripts and creating and editing promotional and informational material. Since then, I have worked as a freelance consultant for businesses, individuals, and organizations to help manage projects and share their messages.
