Timo H.

My name is Timo Holmquist. I am an avid reader, writer, and outdoor explorer. I have submitted pieces of writing to online publications at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. I'm querying two fiction books and have extensive experience in beta reading, line editing, and developmental editing. I do not work with AI for storytelling projects. My main writing topics include outdoor disciplines (hiking, skiing/backcountry skiing, backpacking, and mountaineering), product reviews, and producing brand descriptions for vendors and merchants. I rely on an extensive vocabulary, SEO knowledge, and engaging narratives to drive home understanding. On the beta reading and editing side, I've completed several projects on Upwork that address readability issues, overuse of certain words, verb/tense agreement, character development, grammar issues, and general narrative flow. I also have the patience and detail-oriented mindset needed to comb through 100,000-word manuscripts and leave useful feedback through track changes features on both MS Word and Google Docs. I love doing this. I've worked with several publications in the outdoor product space, like Altitude Sports (an outdoor online marketplace based in Montreal, Canada), SkyBlueOverland (a hiking and exploration-oriented website), and AlpInsider (a mountaineering and associated product website). Whether you need storytelling help, a best-of list, or a brand showcase, I can deliver engaging work that produces results.
