Peter C.

Freelance Political Writer/ Investigative Journalist

Wilmington, North Carolina

From adventuring in the Middle East to volunteering in post-hurricane Puerto Rico, I have devoted the last year of my life to supplementing my Master's degree in International Conflict Resolution with firsthand experience in some of the world's most troubled areas. I am a voracious reader with a comprehensive understanding of international politics, economics, and the cultural shifts that are defining this fascinating moment in history. I am also passionate about philosophy, psychology, and spirituality, as I believe great political writing bridges the gap between the individual and the collective. I am seeking work that will harness my passions and knowledge, from extensive writing projects to political consulting. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA and have writing samples upon request. In the very rare occasion I miss a deadline, I always offer to complete the job for free.

I support thought-leaders, change-makers, authors, and mission-driven organizations turn meaningful ideas into clear brands, compelling communications, and effective digital experiences. My background is unusually multidisciplinary. In addition to my work as a brand strategist and marketing consultant, writer, and editor, I’m a licensed psychotherapist and certified life coach with more than 14 years of clinical experience. I’ve also founded and operated my own urban micro-farm and healing retreat center and have written professionally as a journalist. My work spans brand and marketing strategy, writing and editing, Squarespace website design and content, digital communications, social media, audience development, and strategic project support. I’m especially well-suited to and passionate about projects where strong writing, creative judgment, technical fluency, and an understanding of people all need to come together. My unique breadth of professional experience shapes the way I work. I know how to listen deeply, identify the essence of an idea, empathize with the audience on the other side of it, and translate complex or deeply personal material into language and digital experiences that feel both compelling and authentic. I can help with: • Brand positioning, messaging, and digital strategy • Squarespace website design, redesign, and content strategy • Website copy, articles, newsletters, and editorial projects • Social media and digital marketing strategy • Author, book, and thought-leadership marketing • Email marketing and audience engagement • Research, outreach, and strategic communications • High-level project and communications support I’m particularly drawn to work with therapists, coaches, authors, educators, advocates, speakers, wellness professionals, and purpose-driven founders — but I’m always interested in a compelling project and a good collaborative fit! If you're looking for someone who can move comfortably between strategy and execution — and who can understand both the human story and the practical work required to communicate it — I’d love to hear about what you're seeking to manifest.

I started my career as music journalist in New York City prior to moving to Nashville, TN where I continued to write and play music professionally. After a few years I switched gears due to my love of animals and biology and started the path towards veterinary college. Good writing is an important skill no matter what sort of work you do and I am happy to help others through proof-reading, promotion, education and developing content that is engaging and grammatically correct.
