My Portfolio
Client confidentiality and the privacy of your story are my highest priorities. As a ghostwriter, the work I do for you belongs to you, and I will never share it publicly.
For that reason, the pieces you see here are not past client projects. They are original manuscripts I've written specifically to demonstrate my range and showcase the quality of my craft.
Angus
A classic ABCB rhyme, telling a silly story about a dog who tries (many times!) to bring a houseguest a toy.
“The doorbell – it is ringing!
Oh, what a happy day!
The visitor deserves a gift
For coming all this way”
Counting
An educational poem about the joys of counting by two’s, three’s, and more! The rhyme scheme is a bouncy AAB CCB.
“These autumn trees –
I’ll count by threes!
Remember when they were green?
Now, colored so fine,
There’s three, six, and nine
Twelve, fifteen, eighteen”
Rainy Day
An example of a more serious topic, a parent who has depression, written in AABB style and iambic pentameter.
“My mom says it’s okay if I feel sad.
She says she knows I want to play with Dad
But sometimes skies are cloudy, wet, and gray
And we can’t force the rain to go away”
About Me
As the author of four published novels, I’ve dedicated over a decade to the art of professional storytelling. But my first love has always been the unique magic of rhyming verse—a passion I've nurtured since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I hold a creative writing degree from Hollins University, my hair color changes regularly, and I only wear shoes if I absolutely must.
For me, being trusted with something as precious as a children’s book idea is an honor. I am dedicated to working closely with you to transform the beautiful vision in your head into a story you can be proud of.
What My Clients Say
“Olivia really made the process easy and fun! It felt like working with a partner rather than just paying for a service.”

“I asked Olivia to write a story about a game I used to play with my sisters growing up, and I'm so pleased with the results! She really captured the essence of our silly little game and turned it into a great story and something I'll treasure forever!”
