Timothy T.

I'm Tim Tolka, a writer, editor, researcher, and journalist with a background in economics and law. I prepare all kinds of written works, including manuscripts, research reports, and journal articles. My work sits at the intersection of business intelligence and storytelling: quarterly and annual reports, nonfiction books, screenplays, investigative features, and publication-ready articles. I support writers in all steps of the writing and publication process. I produce 250-500 words per hour, consistently, no matter the subject or topic. I have a Master’s degree in international political economy, a decade of experience in business, including 5 years in business intelligence and market research for the World Economic Forum, S&P Global Market Intelligence, Glass Lewis & Co., Quanta Services, and Industry Intelligence. I help my clients turn complex ideas into stories people want to read and remember. Experience: -Senior Reporter, Disruption Banking (Web3/DeFi, markets, fintech). -Founder, Free Word Associates — led a 7-person team delivering manuscripts, investigative reports, screenplays, and strategic content across media, film, finance, and nonprofits. -Research Analyst, Quanta Services — translated market/regulatory data into executive briefs supporting Puerto Rico’s grid resilience work (LUMA). As a longtime program manager and entrepreneur, I own projects from start to finish and I’m an expert editor, fluent across citation styles, and adept at managing large research documents, including version control, data management, and storage. My investigations have exposed criminal wrongdoing and provided advantage and situational awareness to senior executives. I'm skilled at combing through archives and databases of public records and business documents and distilling my research findings into structured reports and presentations. I specialize in blockchain investigations and the cryptocurrency ecosystem. What clients get: -Clear budget, scope, and deadline before the project begins. -A researcher’s rigor with a storyteller’s ear. -Drafts that arrive publish-ready, not just “proofread.” If you're interested, respond with a bit about your project, including the word count or length, and your deadline, and I'll get back to you.
