SEO Blog Writer | Ghostwriter | Editor | Pop Culture, Tech & Lifestyle | Fiction & Nonfiction Specialist
I'm a writer and editor with fifteen years of experience helping brands find their voice, authors finish their books, and blog posts actually get read.
On the writing side, I ghostwrite SEO content for NordVPN, breaking down complex cybersecurity topics for everyday readers. I write pop culture and personality-driven content for Truity, analyzing beloved TV and film characters through the lens of Myers-Briggs. And I've written brand and editorial copy for clients ranging from Salsbury Industries to the luxury perfume brand LARTEDELSENTIRE — which means I can shift tone and register to suit whatever world your brand lives in.
On the fiction side, I ghostwrote the second and third books in the young-adult historical romance series THE FLAPPERS, and have self-published two novels of my own—experience that gives me a deep appreciation for research, voice, and brutal deadlines. I've spent fifteen years editing manuscripts for authors preparing to query agents or self-publish, doing track changes and revision letters that help writers get their work to the next level.
What you can count on: clean, on-brand copy delivered ahead of schedule with minimal back-and-forth. My clients tend to stick around, and they'll tell you why.
