Carly V.

I offer both writing and illustration services. Creative-writing Service ~ I specialize in fantasy/fiction, children's stories (especially rhyme), romance, spirituality and self-help. I ghostwrite stories from scratch, help with plot and character creation and development, and edit existing drafts so they're ready for publishing. I have also written content for works focused on positive thinking, self-help, relationships, spirituality, sex, narcissism, recipes, stress management, time management, goal setting and bathroom remodeling, as well as content for websites focusing on 'how to' topics, model trains, bathroom decorating, travel, single parenting and more. Aside from the book industry, I have also written RPG games from scratch, including mechanics, and I've created a number of plots and outlines for film. In the field of non-fiction, I enjoy working with the 'unexplained', often combining physics, science, folklore, the paranormal, extra-terrestrial, astronomy and mysticism. I enjoy projects that challenge the norm. I am a dedicated writer and thorough in the field of research (when required). My writing style is neither formal nor too casual - it could be considered conversational. However, I can adjust according to the purpose of the written content. The service I offer ranges from simple story writing to full project management. Illustration Service ~ I create drawings with pen on paper. I then colorize with paints, pencils or gaphics software. All completed images are then placed through AI to be neatened. My illustrations are therefore hand drawn and original, but AI assisted for the final polished product.
