Hello I’m Eli Stephens…
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. I’ve been writing since I was fourteen years old and haven’t stopped since, so I’ve learned this sometimes the easy way, but most times the hard way. Whether it’s editing a piece of fiction like a script or novel, making copy for your company, or producing articles, writing is my passion. Any project that becomes my responsibility doesn’t become another “assignment”; it is a piece of my work; it has to receive a hundred percent effort. That means when you give a copy piece, an article, or your own project, you’ll be getting a writer who cares.
My skills were on full display in Humanity Knocks Magazine, where I contributed to the Medieval and Renaissance section. Using my history associate’s degree, I crafted well-researched articles woven with intricate stories while also delivering a completed bibliography for readers to know they walked away with a real slice of history. I also did a complete review of a history book on the bloody Medici family, a modern article about the growing demographic of polymaths, and a short story about the First Baron’s War in Medieval England.
Also, my self-published novel, The Collector, showcases not only my writing and editorial ability, but also my general creative aptitude. My cover was designed by me using Blender 3D software, along with all my Instagram content and ads. So not only do I understand the project’s artistic vision, but the brand’s artistic vision as well.
Take a look at my work below to see if I’m the right fit for your project.
Thank you!
