Hi, I'm Mikayla - a passionate storyteller
Born in Texas in 2000 and raised in Germany, I have always viewed writing as far more than just putting words on a page. To me, it is a craft—the art of breathing life into ideas and weaving stories that captivate, inspire, and move people to their core. This belief is the heartbeat of my work and the driving force behind everything I create.From Pencil to Professional: My JourneyMy story began at eight years old with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper. What started as a living-room hobby soon turned into a lifelong calling. By 2022, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a published author with my debut, Flügelschläge des Lebens (Wingbeats of Life), followed by four more books in the years that followed.As a bilingual German-American, I navigate both languages with ease. Since 2020, I have been working as a freelance writer for agencies, businesses, and individuals, crafting everything from brand copy to editorial articles. My professional foundation is built on a degree in Media Management and Journalism (2024), during which I served as editor-in-chief of my university’s magazine.In 2025, I made a long-held dream come true and moved to the United States – back to my roots, to the continent I’ve always called home in my heart.Today, I work fully freelance, location-independent, and dedicate myself to giving brands, stories, and ideas a voice through creative, meaningful writing.
Services - How We Can Work Together
Content & Copywriting
Words that connect — not just sell.
I write content that sticks. Whether it's a blog post, website copy, or social media content, I tell the story behind your brand. I especially love writing for pet, wellbeing, and lifestyle brands — for anyone who pours their heart into their work and wants to build real relationships with their audience.Storytelling for a Cause
Stories that move people — and change minds.
From street-level animal rescue work to deeply personal essays on loss and new beginnings, I turn real, raw experiences into stories that resonate. If you work for an animal welfare or conservation organization and want to do more than reach people — you want them to act, donate, or rethink — let's talk.Ghostwriting
Your story. Your voice. My craft.
You've got a book in your head, but the pages are still blank? Whether it's a business book, a compelling memoir, or a story about overcoming hardship, I take your notes, interviews, or voice recordings and turn them into a polished, publish-ready manuscript. The most important part? It will sound like you. Your voice always stays at the heart of it.Newsletters & Long-Form Content
Reading worth savoring (preferably with a cup of coffee).
Not spam — mail people actually look forward to. I plan and write newsletters and long-form articles that keep your readers hooked. With warmth, clarity, and just the right amount of personality, we'll make sure your community keeps coming back.
A collection of inspiring short stories rooted in real-life experiences. This book—one of my five published works—captures the beauty of fleeting moments and turns personal encounters into universal lessons on joy and resilience.
