You can do this with a simple replacement of
wrote:^p
with
^& Format > Style > Heading 1
and modify the style Heading 1 to produce the format and spacing to require.

If you want a macro you can record the steps e.g.

Code:

Sub Macro1()
    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "wrote:^p"
        .Replacement.Text = "^&"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    With ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1").Font
        .Name = "Times New Roman"
        .Size = 12
        .Bold = True
        .Italic = False
    End With
End Sub
