Jake W.

Expert Editor, Storyteller & Poet

I help people with their creative projects. 📚 I help authors write better books 📚 🎉 I help people celebrate special occasions with personalised poems ✒️ 🎲 I help game designers develop mechanics, finalise rules, and polish their content 🃏 All the people I help have one thing in common: they want to deliver a message. And through elegant language, persuasive arguments, and attention to detail, I can help you to deliver that message. I've edited novels across a plethora of genres, delivered video scripts that have garnered millions of views, and written two successful proposals! And now I'm here to help you. I always want to hear from new authors, businesses, and individuals who are serious about delivering the best message they can. Reputation is everything, and I want you to love working with me, just like these people: 😊 "Jake does great work. Tremendous writer and editor, and extremely creative. He went above and beyond, and I will be hiring him again soon!" 😊😊 "Jake was excellent. Knowledgeable, fast, professional, and above all, talented. He's on our rehire list, which is really, really short. That says all any potential client needs to know." 😊😊😊 "Jake did a fantastic job, is very personable, works well with a variety of needs, and customizes the experience for his individual clients. I am so excited to have found Jake as an editor, and will continue to use him for all of my future works throughout my life! Thank you, Jake!" 📞 Let's talk!
