Job Description

Hi everyone, I'm a U.S.-based (California) writer and researcher with a Business Economics background and a working command of modern AI tooling. I take on writing, editing, and document-production projects across a wide range of categories and I also build small custom tools when an off-the-shelf solution doesn't exist. Below is everything I offer. If you don't see your exact need listed, message me anyway — if it touches words, documents, or repeatable workflows, it's probably in scope. What I do Career documents Résumés  •  ATS optimization  •  federal résumés (USAJobs, KSAs, GS-level keyword tuning)  •  LinkedIn rewrites (headline, About, experience)  •  cover letters tailored per job posting  •  personal statements and SOPs (MBA, med, law, grad school)  •  veteran-to-civilian translation  •  career change pivots Business and finance writing Business plans (SBA loan, investor-ready, E-2 / EB-5 visa)  •  pitch deck narrative and content  •  3-year financial projections and pro formas  •  grant proposals for small nonprofits  •  RFP responses and capability statements  •  case studies  •  white papers  •  B2B thought leadership and exec ghostwriting Content and technical writing Long-form SEO articles for B2B SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, professional services  •  newsletter ghostwriting (one-off or monthly retainer)  •  technical documentation, API docs, README rewrites, user guides  •  landing page and email copy  •  developmental editing and substantive proofreading  •  ebook and lead-magnet production Custom-built tools — the differentiator Most freelancers don't offer this. If you have a repetitive document or workflow problem, I can build a small custom tool — usually a Python script, a simple web app, or a Google Sheet with a custom backend. Examples I can scope and ship in 3–7 days: * Bulk résumé tailoring engines — feed in a master résumé and N job descriptions, get N tailored versions back * Document parsers that extract structured data from messy PDFs, contracts, or invoices * Security questionnaire response engines for B2B SaaS and vendor risk teams * Personalized outreach automation beyond what generic mail-merge handles * Searchable knowledge bases built from your existing internal docs * Niche calculators and models — loan amortization, cap tables, scenario planning * Form-fill automation for repetitive paperwork (intake forms, applications, compliance) * Lead-list scrapers and enrichment pipelines (within ToS) * Trust Center and FAQ pages auto-generated from your internal documentation * Custom dashboards and trackers in Google Sheets, Notion, or lightweight web apps Turnaround * Cover letters: 24 hours * Résumé or LinkedIn rewrite: 48–72 hours from intake * Personal statement / SOP: 3–5 days with one revision round * Business plan (15–30 pages): 5–7 business days * Long-form article (2,000–3,000 words): 3–5 days * Custom tools: scoped per project, most ship in 3–7 days I quote a deadline before we start and I hit it. Genuinely urgent? I can compress timelines further on quote. Rates Hourly: **$40/hr**. Most work I quote as flat-rate fixed-price so you know exactly what you're paying upfront — no surprises, no scope creep on my side. |Cover letter intro pricing|~~$50~~$35| |:-|:-| |Résumé tailoring (existing résumé → 1 specific job) intro pricing|~~$60~~$40| |LinkedIn headline + About refresh intro pricing|~~$100~~$75| |Résumé rewrite (full)|$150–250| |Federal résumé (USAJobs format)|$250–400| |Personal statement / SOP|$150–300| |Business plan|$400–1,200| |Pitch deck content + narrative|$300–600| |Long-form article (2,000–3,000 words)|$150–400| |Newsletter retainer (4 issues/month)|$300–800/mo| |Custom tools and automation|scoped per project| Risk-free guarantee Not happy with the first draft? Full refund, no questions asked. You walk away with the result, I keep the risk. I can offer this because the AI-assisted workflow lets me revise quickly, and it keeps me honest about taking on work I can actually deliver. How I work * Quick intake — Google Form or 15-minute call, your preference * One unlimited revision round included on every flat-rate project * Payment via Upwork, PayPal Goods & Services, or Stripe — no F&F, no crypto, no off-platform pressure * NDA available on request before any details are shared * I'll tell you upfront if your project isn't a fit, instead of taking it and underdelivering About me Business Economics degree with active research in cybersecurity certifications, federal civil service hiring, and small-business finance. Strong research skills, comfortable with technical material, and used to producing structured deliverables under deadline. New to r/forhire happy to take a small first project at a reduced rate in exchange for a written testimonial. Contact DM me here on Reddit with a short description of your project or simply request my email. I'll reply within a few hours during all hours (Pacific time) with one of three things: a quote, a clarifying question, or an honest "this isn't a fit, here's who you should ask." Portfolio samples available on request. Thanks for reading.
