Introduction

It's nice to be back after a few years of writing my own books. I always take care to respect and enhance a storyteller's voice. My background in theater helps, along with years of working as a teaching artist Communication is the key to producing a great final product. Working as an independent contractor provides flexible availability and a wealth of creative and ever-changing projects. My fees begin at $100/hr or $2500 per project.

Hired on Thumbtack

David edited my book, consulted with me on the publishing process, and engaged other professionals on my behalf to create a finished product. His work was more than outstanding, I could not recommend him enough. I can honestly say that I am probably happier with David than I have been with anyone else I have hired for anything. If you need this type of work done, David is your man.

I had a great experience with Write for life, David T. I would work with him again on other projects in the near future. As a beginner writer, he listened to my voice, and develop the style to a professional level. Thank you.

David was a great help in editing my book! He was able to organize the ideas and get all of the touches done that I, as the author, was in far too deeply to see! He did fantastic job and Crystal Child is now a reality we can both be proud of!

David edited all three of my books. We've worked together for about four years. He is thorough, has a clear vision of what will work well and cares deeply about the end product.
