2. Theme creation and marketing solutions ~
I offer a one-time package for clients wanting to create a website and make use of Social Media platforms for their products. Includes demographics, design, choice of SM platforms, SEO, shop, as well as instructions for moving forward. This service at $500 aims to help start-ups or small business-owners find their niche and tone, and offers a list of steps to take to achieve the best results.
3. Creative-writing service ~
I specialize in fantasy/fiction, children's stories (especially rhyme), romance, spirituality and self-help. I ghostwrite stories from scratch, help with plot and character creation and development, and edit existing drafts so they're ready for publishing.
I have written numerous fantasy stories for children/young adults, some of which you will see in my portfolio.
I have also written content for works focused on positive thinking, self-help, relationships, spirituality, sex, narcissism, recipes, stress management, time management, speed reading, goal setting and bathroom remodeling, as well as content for websites focusing on 'how to' topics, model trains, bathroom decorating, travel, single parenting and more.
Aside from the book industry, I have also written RPG games from scratch, including mechanics, and I've created a number of plots and outlines for film.
In the field of non-fiction I work with the 'unexplained', often combining physics, science, folklore, the paranormal, extra-terrestrial, astronomy and mysticism.
I enjoy projects that challenge the norm.
I am a dedicated writer and thorough in the field of research (when required). My writing style is neither formal nor too casual - it could be considered conversational. However, I can adjust according to the purpose of the written content.
The service I offer ranges from simple story writing to full project management.
