Is your content stuck in neutral? Let me help kick it into gear. Drawing on over 14 years of experience, I craft authoritative content that attracts attention and engagement. With work that is always on point and on deadline, I can turn your content liability into a strength. Articles I’ve written have garnered millions of unique page views, have been cited in over 45 academic journal articles, and have been linked as a reference by the CDC, FDA, New York Times, and even an amicus brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. But I’m not just a writer or an editor; I’m a problem-solver. ◾Months behind on your content calendar? I’ll get you up to date. ◾Tired of content stalling out at the “idea” or “outline” phase? I’ll push things forward to quickly start publishing fresh content. ◾Lacking in-depth research to make your content authoritative? I’ll roll up my sleeves and boost your content's credibility. ◾Plagued by clunky, disorganized, and keyword-stuffed content? I’ll make it both smooth and SEO-optimized. ◾Struggling to maintain a consistent tone? I’ll help establish a voice and style that suits your brand and target audience. ◾Need a careful eye to make sure the final copy is error-free? I’ll be your trusted proofreader. I am comfortable with almost any topic, but the focus of my work has been in: 🩺Health and wellness (sleep health, diagnostic testing, cancer care) 💻B2B technology (cybersecurity, web3, business lending) 🛒Consumer products (mattresses, bedding, medical equipment) I have worked with AP, Chicago, AMA, and APA styles and have helped build custom in-house style guides. I am ready to tackle virtually any written format, including: 📄Blog posts 💡Thought leadership pieces 📝Website copy 📰White papers 🗂Case studies 📚Academic or long-form journal articles 🗒Press releases 👍Product reviews 🏷Buying guides Regardless of the project, I emphasize professionalism and open communication, including inviting feedback, which enables me to make sure that my work delivers the value that you need. Whether a one-off or recurring project, my process is straightforward: 1️⃣Learn about your needs and what success looks like for you 2️⃣ Define a project scope and timeline of deliverables so that we’re on the same page before I get started 3️⃣ Provide each deliverable on deadline with a request for feedback 4️⃣ Revise until it’s right 5️⃣ Perform a final proofreading check to complete the project With this approach, I’ve won repeat business from literally every freelance client that I’ve worked with.
