Top Rated | Ghostwriter | Book Editor | Developmental Editor | Copy Editor | Proofreader | Beta Reader | Audiobook Narrator | Book Cover Design | Book Design | Book Formatting | KDP | Amazon Ads | Book Marketing Need a ghostwriter, editor, book designer, narrator or marketer to help bring your book to life? Ghostwritten eight New York Times bestsellers and edited numerous bestselling books in romance, mystery, adventure, memoir, thriller, self-help and narrative nonfiction. On Upwork, I'm a Top Rated ghostwriter, developmental editor, line editor, copy editor, proofreader, beta reader, book designer, audiobook narrator, audio editor and book marketer. Whether your book is still an idea or nearly ready to launch, I handle every stage: writing, editing, interior design, audiobook production, publishing, and the marketing that gets it read. Every word I write or narrate is 100% human and passes AI verification, guaranteed. GHOSTWRITING You bring the idea, the notes, the voice memos, the half-finished draft. I build the structure and write the book in your voice. Memoir, business, self-help, narrative nonfiction, thriller, mystery, cozy mystery and romance. Every word is written by a person, and the manuscript passes AI detection because nothing in it was generated. DEVELOPMENTAL AND LINE EDITING At Macmillan I read for what an acquiring editor reads for: whether the opening earns the second chapter, whether the middle sags, whether the ending pays off what the first fifty pages promised. You get an editorial letter covering structure, pacing, character and argument, then line edits in Track Changes on your own file. COPY EDITING AND PROOFREADING Grammar, consistency, Chicago style, and the small continuity errors readers catch in reviews. A character's eye color changes in chapter nine. A date doesn't add up. Proofreading is the final pass before KDP, IngramSpark or a print run. REWRITING AI DRAFTS If you drafted with AI and it reads flat, I rewrite it line by line until it sounds like a person wrote it. Light paraphrasing fools neither detectors nor readers, so I don't offer it. BETA READING A cold read from someone who knows what your genre's readers expect. I tell you where I lost interest and where I'd have put the book down. AUDIOBOOK NARRATION AND PRODUCTION 900+ titles narrated, with character work and accents where the book calls for them. Finished files are mastered for ACX, INaudio and Author's Republic. I also clean up and master narration someone else recorded. BOOK INTERIOR DESIGN, FORMATTING, COVERS AND PUBLISHING Print and ebook interiors, covers built to genre conventions, and distribution across Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and libraries through OverDrive and Hoopla. If you're querying agents instead, I write the query letter, synopsis and proposal. BOOK PROMOTION AND AMAZON ADS FOR KDP I help authors and publishers get their books in front of more readers, and make sure the page those readers land on does the selling. Before you spend anything on ads, I rewrite your description, choose your categories, research your seven backend keywords and design your A+ Content. You get it all as a ready-to-paste pack and apply it in KDP yourself, so your password never leaves your hands. Once the page is live, I run your Amazon Ads through access you control. Every week I adjust bids and targets, and money that isn't selling books gets moved to what is. When you run a sale, I book the newsletters your genre's readers already open. If you want BookBub too, I'll walk you through setting up your own BookBub account, then build and manage the campaigns from there. I'm certified in Amazon Sponsored Ads (Advanced), Google Ads and Google Analytics, and I work inside Amazon's rules. I don't buy, swap or arrange reviews. Your KDP account is worth more than a few extra stars. I keep my client list small. Send me your word count, genre and where the book stands, and I'll tell you what it needs.
