Sara D.

Versatile Fiction Writer with an MA in English Literature

I am an author, ghostwriter & editor of sci-fi, action/adventure, post-apocalyptic & romance fiction. I have an undergrad English degree and an MA in Anglophone Literature. I've ghostwritten over 25 novels over the past five years, across 4 action-packed series and multiple romance standalones. I have developed, edited and proofread several published fiction novels of other writers. I also develop and write video game storylines and dialogue, specializing in RPGs. I can write in 1st & 3rd person POV, create my own outlines and fleshed-out plots, or help you empower yours by following your chosen tropes and implementing your character ideas, bringing the book you envisioned to life. During creation and worldbuilding, I employ psychology, philosophy, and consider the state of the book market. I am strictly against the use of AI for creative purposes. I would describe my work ethics as meticulous, well-organized and responsible; I can write up to 12K words of quality fiction per week. I consider my ability to seamlessly blend emotions and plot devices the greatest strength of my writing: every character is heard, understood and represented, every scene complete. I am a right fit for a client that is searching for a dedicated fiction writer who creates relatable characters and unconventional relationships, can write the best action scenes for a romance book and the best romance under turbulent apocalyptic skies, all the while enjoying a good sense of humor through comic relief. About Me: I’m an avid reader of classical, sci-fi, military. fantasy, medieval and dystopian fiction. I speak four languages, understand at least four more, and have visited 28 countries & a hundred different worlds through video gaming and tabletop RPGs. I have plenty of inspiration for new and exciting locations to write about, both imaginary and real, and worlds to bring to life. With 12 years of experience in motion graphics & video editing, I now enjoy editing music videos as a hobby & occasional Upwork gig and focus on writing full-time since I graduated in 2022. I am currently in the process of publishing my first post-apocalyptic book series.
