What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote contract, freelance, and collaborative writing opportunities in fiction, entertainment, content development, and narrative design.

I've written and published contract ebooks for Inkitt since 2023, creating thrillers, fantasy, and science fiction grounded in character development, intricate plots, and immersive world-building.

At eGlobal Creative Publishing, I ghostwrote long-form speculative fiction, collaborating with editors and authors to maintain narrative consistency, emotional depth, and audience engagement under tight deadlines.

My storytelling has earned First Place in Inkitt's Thriller competition, multiple fantasy and supernatural writing awards, and honorable mentions in the Writers of the Future Contest. My publication credits include What Happened to Erin and the sci-fi novella Veridian.

I'm drawn to serialized storytelling, narrative development, and collaborative projects where strong character arcs, high-stakes plots, and a consistent voice matter.
