I am a senior Grant and RFP Writer with a proven record of winning county, state, federal, corporate, and foundation funding for organizations operating in highly competitive environments. Over the course of my career, I have helped clients secure more than $8 million in awarded funding, with a sustained win rate of approximately 63% across grants, RFPs, RFQs, and competitive procurement opportunities—consistently outperforming industry benchmarks.
My work centers on transforming organizational capacity into evaluator-ready, compliance-driven, and strategically positioned submissions. I do not approach funding as a writing task alone; I approach it as a scoring, risk-reduction, and decision-making process. Every proposal I lead is intentionally structured to meet technical requirements, anticipate reviewer questions, and clearly demonstrate why my client represents the strongest and lowest-risk investment.
I have led successful submissions for federal agencies including DOE, HUD, USDA, HHS, NIH, SAMHSA, SBA, DOT, and EDA, as well as state and county governments, corporate funders, and private foundations. These awards have supported clean energy initiatives, affordable and workforce housing, healthcare and public health programs, rural development, education access, workforce training, public safety initiatives, and social services delivery.
On the RFP and government contracting side, I manage the full proposal lifecycle for opportunities ranging from $25,000 to over $3 million, including multi-year contracts exceeding $1 million in facility management, professional services, transportation, IT, and consulting. My experience includes SAM.gov registration and compliance, opportunity analysis, requirement mapping, development of technical and management volumes, pricing narratives, compliance matrices, and final submission coordination.
What distinguishes my work is a deep working knowledge of public-sector compliance frameworks, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), OMB Uniform Guidance, and agency-specific evaluation criteria. This allows me to build proposals that are not only persuasive, but technically sound—meeting the standards that separate funded and awarded projects from those that are rejected or deemed non-responsive.
Beyond individual submissions, I support organizations with grant research and funding pipeline development, strategic positioning, post-award support, and 501(c)(3) formation, including bylaws, IRS filings, and state registrations. Many clients engage me after missed opportunities or under tight deadlines; they continue working with me because the process becomes structured, transparent, and far more effective.
I am known for my ability to operate under tight timelines without compromising quality. When deadlines are aggressive or opportunities arise unexpectedly, I move quickly to assess feasibility, establish a clear execution plan, and deliver with discipline. For non-federal opportunities, I routinely complete high-quality applications within 7–10 business days when appropriate, while also managing complex, multi-volume federal submissions with longer timelines.
To ensure alignment from the outset, I offer a free initial consultation. This is a working session—not a sales call—where I provide candid guidance on eligibility, competitiveness, timeline risk, and strategic fit. Clients leave with clarity on next steps, whether or not we proceed together.
My clients include nonprofits, startups, SMEs, corporations, and public-private partnerships across healthcare, education, energy, housing, technology, construction, transportation, and social impact sectors. Whether supporting a first-time applicant or an experienced organization pursuing highly competitive funding, my role is to reduce risk, sharpen positioning, and deliver submissions that evaluators can confidently recommend for award.
I don’t make unrealistic promises. I provide clear strategy, disciplined execution, and measurable outcomes. Behind every proposal is an organization working to grow responsibly or create meaningful change—and I take that responsibility seriously.
If you are seeking a grant and RFP professional who understands how funding decisions are actually made, who can perform under pressure, and who consistently delivers competitive, compliant submissions, I would welcome the opportunity to support your next funding effort.

I'm Hailey, a ghostwriter, editor, and copywriter. I wear all the hats, and I wear them well!
With over 1 million words of ghostwriting experience and multiple successful editing & copywriting jobs, my previous and current clients have cited me as:
✍️ Tenaciously detailed,
🪴 1000% authentic,
💬 Highly responsive, and
🩵 Extremely compassionate.
And I don't use a word of AI in my writing & editing! All my work is my own.
👻 GHOSTWRITING
As a ghostwriter, I've written over 40 books! I write at a speed of 2,000-3,000 words per hour with a 98% accuracy rate—NO AI. My manuscripts are top-tier in quality and require minimal editing. I can make them as tropey as you want without sacrificing unique characterization & style that stands out against the rest of the genre!
My outlines are extremely detailed, and I am flexible in adjusting to your individual publishing standards. We're always going to iron out the details ahead of time!
AI DISCLAIMER: I do not use AI, nor do I plagiarize, EVER. All my ideas are entirely my own and not inspired from another source. I have the ability to take tropes and make unique content within the topes that is unlike any other material within the genre.
📚DEVELOPMENTAL, LINE, AND COPY EDITING
As an editor, I have a special talent of voice matching. Whenever I edit a manuscript, I am capable of maintaining the author's unique voice throughout the manuscript while keeping their original ideas intact.
I have an eye for detail that allows me to make small adjustments with big impacts. As your developmental editor, I'll be able to make precise adjustments to create a story with the elements of high-quality storytelling that's uniquely yours. Even the roughest of manuscripts can be transformed into diamonds with my help and expertise.
As a line & copy editor, I don't let a single mistake slip past my notice. I'm rather tenaciously detail-oriented, so when I'm editing, nothing gets past me!
🧑💻CREATIVE COPYWRITING & STRATEGY
As a copywriter & strategist, I bring kaleidoscopic industry experience, a depth of knowledge in buyer psychology, and infinite creativity to the table. I work with:
— Landing pages
— Website copy
— Email marketing
— Social media copy
— SEO blog content
— Personal branding
— Guides & brochures
Contact me for a free sample to see how we'll work together to increase your sales!
💰RATES
My rate is $55/hour or $300 per 10k words ($0.03/word). Please only invite me to projects that have these budgets as a minimum. My rate is a reflection of my expertise, experience, and project quality. I also charge for edits beyond one round of simple edits on my work in order to properly compensate my time spent creating an extra high-quality manuscript.
I have no preference for long- or short-term work. You may contact me for as many projects as you'd like. No matter how crazy or complicated your project may seem, I would love to take it on! I am extremely patient and flexible with client needs.
I offer a consultation for $15/30 minutes or $30/60 minutes if you'd like to discuss a specific project. Otherwise, message me or invite me to your projects, and I'll take a close look at the work offered.
Check out my project catalog for a list of common projects that I complete with consistent expertise!

If you have a story to tell, I want to help you tell it and make sure the world actually stops to read it.
Most people who come to me are sitting on something real. An idea they cannot shake. A story they have been meaning to write for years. A message they know the world needs to hear. But between the blank page and a finished book, everything gets complicated. The writing stalls. The editing feels endless. The cover never looks quite right. And slowly, a dream that felt so close starts slipping away.
That is the moment they find me.
I am 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, and for the past several years I have worked with authors, entrepreneurs, coaches, and creators to do one thing: take a book from raw idea to polished, publish-ready reality. Over 𝟮𝟱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘀 across fiction and non-fiction. First-time authors who finally finished. Entrepreneurs who turned their expertise into a book they are proud to put their name on. Clients who came to me overwhelmed and left with something real in their hands.
What keeps them coming back is simple. They never have to go anywhere else.
✍️ 𝗜 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗜 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘁. 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿. 𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵.
When I ghostwrite for you, I do not just fill pages with words. I sit with your ideas, I learn how you think, and I write in a voice that sounds like the best and most articulate version of you. Your name goes on the cover. Your story gets told. Readers will never know someone else wrote it. That is exactly how it should be.
When I edit your manuscript, I go beyond grammar and punctuation. I look at structure, pacing, character development, argument flow, and clarity of message. What comes back to you is tighter, sharper, and more powerful than what you sent.
When I design your cover 🎨, I use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Canva to create something that does not just look professional but actually makes readers stop scrolling. A cover is a silent salesperson. I make sure yours does its job.
When I format your book for print or digital, I use InDesign, Microsoft Word, and Kindle Create so that every page looks exactly the way a published book should. Clean, professional, and ready for Amazon KDP or any platform you are publishing on.
I am certified in professional ghostwriting, manuscript editing, Amazon KDP publishing, and grammar and punctuation. But what matters more than any certificate is this: I treat every project like my name is on the cover too. 📈
✨ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 your fiction novel, memoir, or non-fiction book from scratch
𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 a manuscript you have already started
𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 a book cover that commands attention 🎨

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 your full book package for Amazon KDP self-publishing

Every project gets my full attention. Deadlines are not suggestions. Confidentiality is not optional. And work that does not meet the standard I hold myself to simply does not leave my desk.

With over 15 years of experience in the publishing industry and being a USA TODAY bestselling author, I have a comprehensive background in both traditional and self-publishing within the fiction genre. Having edited for Amazon bestselling authors and more, I'm eager to use that experience to enhance and elevate your writing.
Genres I specialize in include Romance, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Christian, Mystery, Suspense, YA, Memoirs and more. With my experience as a technical writer, I welcome all nonfiction projects as well.
Expect professional copy, line, and developmental editing with meticulous attention to detail from me. And rest assured, though I'm a stickler for perfection, my main goal is to support and encourage you every step of the way.
Are you using AI in your writing? It's not something to be ashamed of. AI-generated text is becoming part of the modern writing process. The key is to make it sound human. That's where I come in! I'll help smooth out those robotic and repetitive phrases.
I am the founder of WordTinkerer LLC, and as such, I'm committed to staying up-to-date with the latest in editing education, such as Ethics, Grammar, AI Content Writing, ChatGPT, Working with Writers, and more.
My pricing is generally by word count, not hourly, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with questions.
