Hi, I’m Sarah, a Chicago-based freelance content writer. I help brands reach new audiences with engaging, informative long-form content. I launched my freelance writing career in 2015. Since then, I’ve written thousands of blog posts as well as landing pages, e-books, email newsletters, case studies, and white papers. What started as a side hustle quickly turned into a true passion for writing - and a full-time career. Today, I work primarily with B2B SaaS, cybersecurity, and logistics organizations (and digital marketing agencies that serve them). I've also written B2C content on topics including personal finance, real estate, sustainability, and healthcare. I’m well-versed in SEO best practices and content optimization tools like Clearscope, SEOSurfer, NeuronWriter, and more. Thorough research is at the core of my writing process, and I use everything from academic studies to SME insights to create content that's authoritative and compelling.
