Many authors struggle with the monumental task of completing their novel. As an Amazon #1 Best Selling Author and Ghostwriter of 50+ books, I’ll outline, write and edit your manuscript so you can finally get your book published.
💥Get your story told! 💥Have a book to be proud of!
I take my clients through a step by step process:
1. We brainstorm and outline the book.
2. You will receive a completed manuscript.
3. I edit the book and you receive a final draft by the agreed upon deadline.
You end with a manuscript that is ready to self-publish or submit to traditional publication.
As a writer of over 3 million words of and multiple published books, I can coach you through the writing process or I can write the book for you. Either way it's your story.
My focus includes:
📌 Guidance to get your ideas from your head to the page
📌 Interviews and help through my 6-step process
📌 Developing the outline with the IMPACT Method
📌 The Three Types of Non-Fiction Books (and which is best for you)
📌 Finished Manuscript
📌 Editing and Revising
Highlights:
- Amazon #1 Best Selling Author
- Amazon #1 New Release Author
- Traditional and self-published.
- Ghostwriter for 52 books and 3 novellas.
- Memoirs, biographies, how-to and self-help.
- Ongoing contract with one Amazon Best-Selling Author.
- Creator of the Leadership Authoring Program
Next step is to schedule a 20 minute Interview Call with me so I can get a more specific scope of work. I will then follow up with a customized proposal with timelines and project costs.
All projects have a $500 minimum.
To ensure you receive my full attention, I only work with one client at a time. However, you can get started right away by securing your project in the next slot I have open.

I specialise in long-form nonfiction writing, with over 12 years’ experience producing full-length ebooks and educational content
For over a decade, I worked with a US-based ebook publishing company, writing full-length nonfiction ebooks across a range of topics. This means I’m comfortable handling research, structure, tone, and deadlines on substantial projects — not just short blog posts.
I also have hands-on experience with publishing workflows in WordPress, including uploading and formatting, inserting images, adding links, and preparing for scheduling or publication. I’m comfortable writing from scratch or working with pre-formatted content and following structured instructions accurately.
Alongside writing, I also work with Readers’ Favorite as a book reviewer, which has sharpened my editorial eye and my understanding of what makes nonfiction readable, credible, and well-structured.
What I can help you with:
Nonfiction ebooks (20k–100,000k+ words)
Long-form guides
Ghostwritten educational or authority content
Proofreading & light editing for clarity and flow
Uploading and publishing content via WordPress
I’m reliable, deadline-driven, and easy to work with. If you need a writer who can manage long projects calmly and deliver polished nonfiction content without hand-holding and without using AI unless expressly required, I’d be happy to discuss your project.

Your story needs tension, voice, chemistry, structure, and the kind of emotional pull that keeps readers turning pages.
I write dark, immersive fiction in the genres driving indie publishing right now: reverse harem / why-choose romance, dark romance, mafia and anti-hero romance, paranormal romance, fantasy romance, romantic suspense, psychological thrillers, and high-heat romance. I know the tropes, I know the pacing, and I know what makes a reader blow past their bedtime and one-click the next book.
I'm also a Top Rated Plus Line, Copy, and Developmental Editor here on Upwork, so you get both sides of the work in one writer — the imagination to build the story and the discipline to keep it clean. In practice that means my first drafts arrive cleaner than most writers' final ones: tighter prose, stronger structure, better continuity, and fewer revision rounds before your manuscript is ready to publish.
✅ GENRES I SPECIALIZE IN:
• Reverse Harem / Why-Choose Romance: Multi-POV pacing, ensemble chemistry, slow-burn tension, and love interests who actually feel like different people.
• Dark Romance & Mafia: Possessive anti-heroes, morally grey love interests, obsession, danger, and emotional stakes handled with control instead of shock value.
• Fantasy & Paranormal Romance: Shifters, fae, vampires, witches, urban and high fantasy, and world-building that holds together.
• Thrillers & Romantic Suspense: Tight plotting, earned twists, and no sagging middle.
• High-Heat Romance: Sensual, intense, emotionally charged romance written with discretion and respect for your brand.
✅ WHAT YOU GET:
• Market-aware fiction for KDP, Kindle Unlimited, serial apps, and indie publishing.
• Strong hooks and chapter endings that pull readers forward.
• Characters readers will obsess over, root for, or love to hate.
• Consistent voices across a multi-POV cast.
• Clean, editor-level drafts that cut down your revision rounds.
• Outlines, beat sheets, rewrites, developmental edits, or full ghostwritten manuscripts.
• True ghostwriting: you own all rights, and I never disclose my involvement.
Whether you have a detailed outline, a rough plot, a trope list, or just a vibe and a couple of character names, I can take it from there. I will help shape the concept, structure the plot, build the emotional arc, and turn the idea into something readers want to finish.
My writing is character-driven, atmospheric, and commercially aware. I write stories that feel alive on the page.
I am comfortable with long-form series, rapid-release timelines, and deadline-driven work.
Tell me what you are building, and let’s talk.
