Words open worlds real and imagined. Whether it is creating characters, painting scenarios, provoking thought, making information come to life, or compelling the reader to emotions and actions words are beautiful and powerful. I help people find their voices and express themselves through the words they might have trouble finding or bringing from thought to page. Already have something written? Let me polish up what you've created to bring your writing to its full potential. For a detailed overview of my writing and editing work, please keep reading. If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to interview. Professionally, I've been a wordsmith since 2015. From semi-autobiographical fiction to full-fledged fiction and biographies, from business and marketing, academia to history books, About Us pages and mission statements, SEO-rich content to writing from the heart -- I've put it all to page for myself and others. I've helped many transform the scenes, stories, thoughts, and characters in their minds and transform them into words on a page. My portfolio includes having written and edited numerous published non-fiction books as well as content such as website Homepages, "About Us" and FAQs, and biographies. As a developmental editor, I help authors give depth and life to their work. On the other side of things, I've helped several sites grow working as an SEO-focused copywriter and bringing products to life with creative descriptions. I've also written and edited I'm a versatile writer that can adapt to any tone and style. I have experience writing long and short articles on a wide variety of subjects including those involving research, blogs, short public speaking pieces and wedding speeches, newsletters, press releases, fun/humorous pieces, and I especially love writing fun song parodies. AI is great--but it's not a human and it needs skilled human help. Whether you want AI assisted or 100% human writing, I am that skilled help. I've been honing my skills on a professional and volunteer level for many years. I'm also in an ongoing program one night a week aimed at improving research, writing, and public speaking skills. Extensive vocabulary, strong grammar, and syntax skills. I love the Oxford comma! Highly analytical. Strong skills in the logical development of themes and subject matter. See my Upwork test results for proof of skills.
