I help creators and coaches turn ideas into clear, grounded content — and support the publishing side so it actually goes out consistently.
Most of the people I work with know what they want to say, but writing, editing, and publishing end up fragmented or mentally draining. I step in to handle the thinking, structure, and basic production so they can stay focused on their work.
I’ve been writing professionally for over six years, primarily in reflective, insight-driven spaces such as personal growth, education, and long-form thought pieces.
What I Can Help With
Writing & Ghostwriting
• Blog posts and articles (1,200–1,500 words)
• Ghostwriting
• Ebook outlining and drafting
YouTube & Content Support (Simple, Clean, Consistent)
• Clean, readable YouTube thumbnails
• Basic video editing
• Shorts / Reels repurposing
I focus on clarity and consistency rather than heavy production or flashy effects.
How I Work
I keep things simple and predictable.
• Clear scope
• Light revisions included
• Calm communication
• Reliable delivery
If consistency or mental bandwidth is the bottleneck, I’m usually a good fit.

Content crafted to convince.
Your tech product or service may have the potential to be revolutionary, disruptive, or game-changing. But if your target audience doesn't know about it, what it does, how they can benefit from it, why they need it now, and how they can make the most out of it, your website visitors won't be converted to leads, leads won't be converted to customers, and customers won't be converted to loyal fans. That's why you need me on your team.
Since 2008, I have written thousands of marketing collateral and strategic reputation instruments, including blog posts, white papers, thought leadership articles, web sales pages, landing pages, case studies, ebooks, brochures, data sheets, product sheets, product presentation decks, PowerPoint presentations, award submissions, articles, and sales letters with the purpose of engaging readers and guiding them deeper into my clients' sales funnels or advancing them through formal evaluation and selection processes.
I specialize in Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, and Virtualization, but can handle any writing project related to IT.
Some of the topics I'm familiar with include: zero trust, encryption, compliance, data privacy, data protection, threat prevention, penetration testing, threat intelligence, threat hunting, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, malware protection, ransomware, LOTL, botnet, keylogger, rootkit, VPN, SIEM, SOAR, CWPP, CSPM, SBOM scanning, PTaaS, EDR, ITDR, Consent Management Platform (CMP), MFT Server, managed file transfer, reverse proxy, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, cloud security, cloud cost optimization, IaaS, SaaS, DaaS, AWS EC2, AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud, VDI, virtual desktops, hyperconverged infrastructure, MSP, ITAD, B2B SaaS, network security, AI security, AI-powered security, etc.

Every unwritten book is a story the world never gets to read, a lesson never learned and a transformation that never happens.
Maybe that book is yours, the idea you keep thinking about but haven’t been able to finish alone. I am Makanjuola Pelumi, professional ghostwriter, and my entire job is to take the book that is stuck inside your head and get it onto the page in your voice, your style, and your words.
Maybe you've started three times and abandoned it.
Maybe you're too busy running your business to write a 50,000-word manuscript.
Maybe you know what you want to say but have no idea how to say it in a way that grips readers and keeps them turning pages.
Maybe you've hired a writer before and got back something that sounded nothing like you.
That's exactly where I come in.
𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜 𝗔𝗠
I'm a professional Ghostwriter with completed projects spanning fiction novels, romance, thrillers, cozy mysteries, paranormal stories, nonfiction books, memoirs, children's books, ebooks, and short stories. I write in your voice, from your vision, and for your audience.

Most people who come to me have one of three problems:
1. The blank page problem: They have a brilliant idea but freeze the moment they open a document. Writing a full book feels overwhelming, and every attempt goes nowhere.
2. The voice problem: They've tried other writers and got back something that felt robotic, generic, or completely unlike them. Their readers would never believe they wrote it.
3. The time problem: They're coaches, entrepreneurs, CEOs, or busy creatives who simply don't have 6–12 months to dedicate to writing a full manuscript while running their life and business.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥
I solve all three problems through a process built on deep collaboration, psychology-driven storytelling, and relentless attention to your voice.
Every project starts with a thorough client interview, I ask the questions that unlock your story, your tone, your personality, and your goals. From there I build a structured outline, develop your characters or chapters, and write content that sounds authentically like you, only sharper, more compelling, and more powerful than you imagined.

Whether I am ghostwriting a book on consciousness, developing educational content for a coach, creating persuasive marketing copy, or managing ad campaigns that help musicians reach new listeners on Spotify, my goal remains the same: to communicate meaningful ideas in ways that inspire, uplift and serve the highest interest of humankind.
I am adept at translating complex concepts into clear, relatable, and compelling language. My writing is polished, engaging, and deeply researched, while my marketing work is guided by data, psychology, and an understanding of what motivates human behavior.
When you hire me, you gain access not only to a skilled writer but also to a multidisciplinary knowledge base cultivated through decades of study, teaching, creative work, and audience development.

I have been telling stories consistently since I was performing puppet shows in the living room as a kid. While my puppet friends and I have parted ways, I still cannot stop myself from seeking out stories and comedy - whether that's in everyday conversations or in my writing. In 2012 I began working on my own personal humor blog satirizing culture, politics, and myself. Working with kids from 2016 to 2019 also gave me an insight into young minds, helping me develop my own sense of creativity and imagination.
While studying to get my degree in Writing from Eastern University, I discovered my passion for collaboration as editor-in-chief of Inklings, the college literary magazine. I also had the opportunity to write several short plays alongside the actors that would be performing in them, which was a valuable lesson in learning how to write for and with other people. I am constantly using this skill as a freelancer, balancing my own creative voice with the needs of my clients.
My favorite projects have been the children's books, middle grade books, and young adult novels that I have ghostwritten. However, I can write for any age, and have written many genres, from humor, to science fiction, to fantasy, and thriller. For me, the most rewarding aspect of writing is helping others find their voices through believable characters and intriguing plots. This is not the only way to tell a story, though, as I have also helped create various funny scripts for YouTube, the stage, and other types of media. Is your story already written, you just need someone else to take a look and suggest improvements? I can edit it as well, telling you the hard truths while sticking to your vision. If you have a story you'd like to tell, feel free to reach out and I'd love to discuss how I can help.
As an editor, I've worked with authors from all over the world, and am currently a freelance editor with Indigo River Publishing based in Pensacola, Florida. With Indigo River, I work as an editor and as an author coach, communicating with writers to help make sure their books are as perfect as they can be - all while sticking with their original visions.
I can write at a fixed rate of $0.19 per word (for books of 10,000+ words) or $0.21 per word (for books below 10,000 words). My editing rate is around $0.11 per word, depending on how extensive the edits need to be. I can work on hourly projects too, and I estimate being able to write between 400-800 words per hour and edit between 800-1,600 words per hour.
