I am a UK-based author, editor and proofreader with experience in editing, proofreading, researching and sensitivity reading. My debut book, When We Ruled, was published in 2025 and was selected by BBC History Magazine and History Today as a Book of the Year. I have worked on Sunday Times bestselling books (more on that in my portfolio!) and work on a freelance basis with UK publishing houses like Bloomsbury and Macmillan. I'm a published historian who works across different mediums, from books and articles to podcasts and scripts. Research, writing, and proofreading are my bread and butter! So, if you're trying to polish off that manuscript or article, but need guidance? Have a large writing project that needs expert eyes? After a researcher or scriptwriter? I can help! - offers detailed notes, line edits and clear feedback - works with a collaborative approach: I want to help make your work as accessible, streamlined and grabbing as possible, in line with your vision

I work with language in different ways, but everything I do revolves around making texts clear, natural, and effective. As an English–Spanish translator and editor with a background in linguistics and literature, I’ve worked across a wide range of content — from technical documentation and educational materials to web content, audiovisual translation, and literary texts, including non-fiction and fiction. Some projects require precision and structure. Others need tone, rhythm, and sensitivity. I enjoy moving between both — refining, adjusting, and shaping texts so they actually work for the reader. Whether I’m translating, editing, or improving existing content, my focus is always the same: clarity, coherence, and a strong sense of style.

There are several services I provide with my diverse academic and professional background. I am a disability support contractor, freelance writer, and a certified English teacher to foreign language speakers. Disability Support Contracting - I hold a Master's of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and over four years of direct and indirect disability support experience. As a helping professional, I am dedicated to creating inclusive and accessible environments for people with disabilities and their families. Let's connect and work together to create a more accessible future! Freelance Writing - I have writing experience in several areas (academic, policy, content creation, and more) and I have one minor publication with the desire to publish more work. The best place to familiarize yourself with my writing is on Medium.com. My handle is @cdanielfoster. English Teaching - I have been TEFL certified and have experience teaching English to individuals and groups in virtual settings. I have constructed my own lesson plans and I have taught from pre-made lessons. I also have experience teaching college-level courses and providing one-on-one academic support.

Book Editor & Ghostwriter | Developmental | Line | Copy | Christian Fiction | Nonfiction Most manuscripts don't fail because of weak writing. They fail because the structure underneath the writing was never built to hold a reader's attention. I'm Samuel, a developmental editor and ghostwriter with a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated status on Upwork. I work primarily with nonfiction authors and Christian writers, though I've edited and ghostwritten across fiction, memoir, self-help, business, and romance. The through line in every project is the same: your ideas deserve an execution that matches them. My background in law sharpened something most editors don't carry into manuscript work: the habit of reading for argument, not just prose. I notice that when a chapter promises something, it doesn't deliver. I catch the moment a reader's attention would drift before they do. That's not something line editing fixes after the fact. It's structural, and it has to be addressed first. What I do: Ghostwriting I work with authors, thought leaders, and subject matter experts who have the material and need someone to build the manuscript. I write in your voice, from interviews, outlines, or existing drafts. Christian nonfiction, memoir, self-help, business, and fiction across genres. Developmental Editing The big-picture pass: structure, argument flow, chapter sequencing, pacing, reader engagement, and whether your book delivers on what it promises. Every developmental edit includes a full editorial letter (5 to 10 pages) addressing what's working, what isn't, and how to fix it. Line Editing Sentence and paragraph-level refinement. Clarity, rhythm, transitions, voice consistency. Your voice stays. The friction doesn't. Copy Editing Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style guide compliance. I maintain a custom style sheet for every project covering terminology, formatting preferences, and consistency guidelines. Chicago Manual of Style standard. Proofreading The final pass before your manuscript goes to a publisher, agent, or self-publishing platform. Beta Reading I read as your target audience would: chapter by chapter, tracking engagement, pacing, confusion points, and marketability. You'll know exactly what lands and what needs work before investing in full editing. KDP & Formatting (add-on) I format for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark, and other self-publishing platforms, print-ready and ebook. Available as a standalone or bundled with editing. Genres I work in: Christian and inspirational fiction and nonfiction. Memoir and personal narrative. Business and entrepreneurship. Self-help and personal development. Health and wellness. Romance. Children's literature. Faith-based manuscripts are a particular strength. Theological accuracy matters in Christian publishing, and I edit with that in mind alongside narrative craft. What every project includes: Track Changes with margin comments explaining the reasoning behind every suggestion. A custom style sheet built for your manuscript. A full editorial letter for developmental and line editing projects. Follow-up availability as you work through revisions. Sample edit on your first 1,000 to 1,500 words before you commit to anything. Send me a message with your word count, where you are in the process, and your biggest challenge with the manuscript. I'll reply within 24 hours.

I finish projects, I meet deadlines, and I have no ego about being told what to do. If you need someone who shows up, does the work, and makes your vision a priority over their own, that's me. I am an enthusiastic, eclectic reader. I will read anything. I bring that energy to every beta read, developmental edit, copy edit, and line edit I take on. I read fast, I respond quickly, and my feedback is detailed, careful, and kind. I grasp story arcs instinctively and I am particularly sensitive to character development, pacing, emotional beats, and emotional arcs. For nonfiction, I assess logic, rigor, and readability: whether the argument holds, whether the ideas flow, and whether readers can actually follow and absorb the content. Because I edit as I go, fixing grammar and smoothing prose in real time, my reads are thorough without being slow. Every beta read includes inline comments addressing prose, pacing, and grammar alongside a separate structured report covering my overall reaction, arc and character progression at different stages of the manuscript, and specific recommendations for revision. You will come away knowing exactly what landed and exactly what needs work. I am also a published author and ghostwriter specializing in psychology, relationships, sexuality, parenting, and education. I write and love romance fiction: the slow burn, the banter, the tension that keeps readers turning pages. I am eager to bring that enthusiasm and experience to collaborative romance and fiction projects. I am currently completing my third nonfiction book, Prayer in the Bible: A Study of the Non-Supernatural Effects of Prayer, so you can be confident you are working with a writer who is actively in the craft.

Most websites don’t have a traffic problem, they have a content and structure problem. I'm Sonja, working in content and SEO with 10+ years of experience, helping websites grow through copywriting, on- and off-page SEO, and technical fixes. Work is based on your current state, goals, and budget, so we decide what to focus on first and adjust as results come in. If you like this approach, check my results, how I work, what comes with me, including premium tools (−$500+/month saved), plus my experience and how else I can help! How I've helped websites grow ⭐ 20–80% organic traffic growth, including ~10–25% increase to service pages (internal linking) and ~20–60% blog growth (content clusters) ⭐ 30–150+ keywords ranked through topical authority, including #1–#5 positions, with average rankings improving from ~30–40 to 12–20 and CTR from ~1% to 1.8–2.5% ⭐ 10–30% of total traffic from organic, including ~2–8% from AI search sources ⭐ Work done on DR 0 domains without backlinks, with DR improving to ~10–20 through citations and backlinks ⭐ ~20–40% faster load times on key pages after technical fixes ⭐ 5–20+ monthly calls generated via Google Business Profile and review campaigns How I work I don't approach SEO as separate tasks, but as connected areas. Work is prioritised based on the current state, goals, and budget. ✅ SEO Copywriting: Landing pages, service pages, blog content aligned with search intent ✅ On-page & Content SEO: Keyword research, clustering, content updates, internal linking, metadata ✅ Technical SEO: Site structure, crawlability, indexing, page speed, resolving technical limitations ✅ Off-page & Local SEO: Authority direction, Google Business Profile optimisation, NAP consistency, review strategy, GBP posts How I set priorities Not everything is done at once. Priorities are based on the website's current state, goals, and available budget. Depending on that, the focus is usually on: * fixing technical issues that limit visibility * improving existing content before creating new pages * building new pages around keyword clusters * increasing local visibility where faster results are possible … but everything is planned monthly and adjusted based on your feedback. Tools I'm already subscribed to (no additional cost on your side) You don't need to invest in SEO tools or set up anything because everything is already in place. * Ahrefs (−$449/month) * Screaming Frog (−$279/year) * Grammarly (−$144/year) * AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — used for research and structuring) This allows for: * faster execution * no setup delays * no additional tool costs Also experienced with: ✅ Google Search Console (performance tracking, indexing, query analysis) ✅ Google Analytics (traffic analysis, user behaviour, conversions) ✅ Google Tag Manager (tracking setup and adjustments) ✅ PageSpeed Insights / Core Web Vitals tools (performance analysis) ✅ CMS platforms (WordPress, Webflow — publishing and updates) ✅ BrightLocal (Local SEO, rankings, and Google Business Profile tracking) ✅ Mailchimp (Email marketing, campaign setup) ✅ Draftaliser (AI document drafting tool) Experience ⭐ 200+ businesses and agency partners ⭐ 15+ industries (SaaS, eCommerce, marketing, and others) ⭐ Work with startups, agencies, and larger companies, across both one-time and ongoing projects **Due to the current workload, ONE-OFF BLOGS are usually taken only as part of a broader scope or as a test. Other things I help with: ✅ Editing & proofreading (BA in English Literature) ✅ Formatting & layout ✅ Uploading & publishing (WordPress, Webflow, CMS platforms) ✅ Social Media management If you want to see what is actually holding your site back, send me your URL, and I’ll point out 2–3 quick wins.

I have been working as a translator for various companies for 15 years, supported by a Japanese proofreader who is a 70‑year‑old retired Japanese businessman. Together, we provide high‑quality, accuracy‑focused translations between English and Japanese. Rather than offering literal, word‑for‑word translations, we deliver natural, beautifully written texts tailored to the needs of the reader. My experience spans brochures, packaging, websites, games, apps, video scripts, books, articles, lyrics, presentation slides, and more. We also specialize in official legal document translations—including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other documents required for passport applications, PR applications, visas, and similar purposes. Each translation includes a certificate of translation accuracy and an official company seal, all at a very reasonable rate. In addition to translation, I am a creative writer with several books published on Amazon. I have extensive experience in SEO writing, with particular strengths in creativity and copywriting. I have also performed voiceovers in both Japanese and English (with a Japanese accent) for commercials, voicemail messages, corporate videos, games, animations, and more. Furthermore, I have been teaching Japanese to learners of all ages at private language schools for 15 years across several countries.

I’m a ghostwriter and manuscript editor with over five years of experience helping authors write and publish books that read with natural, confident English. Whether you’re working in your second language, building from scattered notes and voice recordings, or editing a translated draft that isn’t quite flowing the way you want, I can help you take it to publication-ready. My core services are ghostwriting, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. I work across memoir, Christian nonfiction, business, self-help, fantasy, romance, science fiction, and thrillers, and I deliver every manuscript to Amazon KDP standards so your book is ready to publish the moment we’re done.

What I offer: Ghostwriting and Creative Rewriting— Share your ideas, lived experiences, voice notes, or rough chapters in whatever format you’re comfortable with. I’ll shape them into a structured, compelling manuscript with strong narrative flow and natural English that still sounds completely like you. Full confidentiality is guaranteed on every project and NDAs are always welcome. Developmental Editing— If your manuscript feels stuck, scattered, or incomplete, this is where we start. I identify structural gaps, pacing problems, unclear themes, and weak transitions, then deliver a chapter-by-chapter action plan with a detailed editorial letter and inline comments so you can revise with confidence. Line Editing and Copyediting— Sentence-by-sentence editing for clarity, grammar, and natural English flow. Your writing becomes polished and professional without losing your voice or message. Delivered with Track Changes in Word plus a clean final version. Ideal for post-translation editing and bilingual manuscript polishing. Proofreading— A thorough final review before publication. I catch every remaining grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting issue so your manuscript is completely clean before it goes live. Human eyes only, no AI. Beta Reading and Honest Feedback— Reader-focused insights before you invest in full editing. Clear, supportive feedback on flow, voice, structure, and engagement, delivered in plain English and with genuine cross-cultural sensitivity. Medical and Technical Editing— For healthcare, pharmaceutical, or scientific manuscripts, I ensure your content is accurate, clearly written, and accessible to general readers, backed by my training and licensure as a Pharmacist.
