Most writers can put words on a page. Very few understand the room the words are walking into. I do. I served as Chief of Staff and Communications Director to the Global Chairman of a private equity firm - operating across New York and Dubai, writing for boardrooms, governments, and principals who have no tolerance for anything less than exact. Before that, I spent years at the highest levels of American political life - advising at the executive level, supporting presidential and Senate-level campaigns, and building coalitions that moved initiatives and outcomes at national scale. I've ghostwritten for executives, public figures, and athletes. I've built pitch decks that secured investments. I've written speeches delivered on national stages. I've crafted narratives for international institutions and brands that needed to sound like they belonged in rooms they were still trying to enter. What I actually do: I take what you're trying to say - your pitch, your vision, your ask - and I make it land the way it was meant to. Pitch decks. Speeches. Executive ghostwriting. Proposals. Long-form thought leadership. High-stakes communications of any kind. I'm not a typical Upwork hire. I'm what you bring in when the stakes are real and the writing has to be right. Bilingual - English and Spanish, native level. Available globally. If you've read this far, you already know whether we're a fit.

I've been writing full-time for 15+ years and I've completed over $300,000 worth of projects on Upwork, so you know you're in safe hands when you work with me. I develop long-term partnerships with my clients over many months and years. Here's what the CEO of a marketing agency had to say about me: "He's one of the greatest copywriters I've ever worked with. We've had a project going on for 6 years now which is crazy to think about!!!" If you need help with any aspect of copywriting – from newsletters to web copy to landing pages – I'd love to hear from you. What about AI? I've been writing since long before AI showed up, so I'm always happy to write 100% human-only content. However, many clients now ask me to use AI to speed up the content creation process, and I use it as and when needed – I have a pro subscription to Claude for this purpose. Tasks could include: - Writing and editing AI-assisted content - Reshaping and improving AI drafts for clarity, structure and flow - Fact-checking and tone refinement - SEO support (keywords, internal linking, meta descriptions) Whatever you need, if you want to work with a professional who takes his work and reputation seriously, let's talk.

Wow, you're here! It's like the stars have aligned! My name is Courtney. I've been writing since I was a kid so it's only fate I found myself on this website. It's fate you found yourself on this website too because I bet you're working the job you dreamed of as a kid but that job doesn't involve writing so that's why you're in need of a writer, right? Like I said, the stars have aligned! Do you know the difference between someone who likes to read versus someone who doesn't? A good writer. A good writer can grab anyone's attention and keep them engaged, even those who claim to not like reading. Not to toot my own horn, or should I say not to write my own review, but I am a great writer. I mean you're still here, reading my bio, aren't you? I don't have that friend that everyone goes to for clever captions because I am that friend. I am also a self published author, educated (Bachelor of Arts in English), and I've worked as a journalism intern. My poetic outlook on life is what has made me successful this far in my writing career. Having a poetic outlook on life has given me the ability to find the deeper meaning behind everything, even businesses. I can help others see the true, deeper meaning behind your business too. I can make people see why your company stands out from the rest so that they can truly connect with you. That's what business is all about after all, making connections. Making those connections starts with making this connection first, between me and you. Let's make your company shine like the sun so that everyone sees other companies as planets that just simply orbit around you. Where my writing shines the most: ~ Copywriting ~ Content Writing ~ Advertisement Script Writing ~ Creative Writing ~ Blog Writing You know how they say the key to a healthy relationship is good communication? I believe that goes for all relationships, especially work relationships. I promise to be just as great a communicator as I am a writer while working with you.

How to Hire Top Press Release Writers
What is a press release writer?
In today’s competitive business environment, creating the perfect press release takes on new importance. A press release is one of the best ways to reveal a new product, event, issue, or service being offered by your company and a seasoned press release writer can help you find the right words to effectively convey that information to the media and your target audience.
How do you hire a press release writer?
You can source press release writing talent on Upwork by following these three steps:
- Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a press release writer.
- Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
- Shortlist and interview press release writers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.
Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of press release writer you need to complete your project.
How much does it cost to hire a press release writer?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
- An experienced press release writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.

- Beginner: $15 per hour
- Intermediate: $44 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
How do you write a press release writer job post?
