Joanna W.
Romance Ghostwriter, Beta Reader, and Editor
Whether you have a story idea that needs fleshing out into a completed novel, a finished manuscript that needs polishing before publishing, or you're sat somewhere in between - I'm here to help! I am a passionate writer and avid reader across many genres of fiction including, but not limited to, Dark Romance, Contemporary Romance, LGBTQ+ Romance, Romantasy, and High Fantasy. I have been writing creatively since I was a teenager and am now channeling this talent into a career in ghostwriting and editing. I have extensive experience writing both clean and steamy romances of varying intensities. I am very familiar with multiple plotting methods including Romancing the Beat, The Hero's Journey, The 3 Act Structure, and Save the Cat. This knowledge of fundamental story beats greatly helps me both in my own writing and when assessing other author's works because I know how to keep readers hooked on a story page after page. Both my experience in ghostwriting and beta reading have provided me with an expansive skillset when it comes to crafting captivating novels with addictive plotlines, compelling and relatable characters, and zero room for loose ends! I would love to take on projects across a wide variety of genres and formats! Please find my previous Upwork projects listed in my profile along with a few samples of my work. Feel free to ask if you require samples of a specific genre or would like to propose a trial task for your project!
