Hello, my name is Josiah and I provide a quick turnaround, a keen attention to detail, and I am always available to go over specifications that make any project uniquely yours and perfectly tailored to your target audience. I have a BA in English Writing and I have experience with content writing, blog posts, articles, journalism, reports and research papers. I also write about a wide variety of subjects (philosophy, fitness, sports, workplace culture, self-improvement/personal development, spirituality, etc.). I have also recently added personal finance (budgeting, investment strategy, asset protection) into my repertoire which I am very eager to provide insight on in future Upwork Jobs. I also have a growing YouTube channel, Jo The Philosopher, with a little over 600 subscribers, and growing, where I talk about Dating & Relationships, Male Issues, Personal Finance, and Life & Philosophy. I do livestreams daily and I am open to collaboration and possible product reviews should those fall within the scope of my services. I have published three novels, two short story collections, one poetry collections as well as novellas relating to philosophy and self-improvement. I went to college for English Writing and made the Dean's List in 2017 and received my bachelors degree in 2018. What I contribute to any project is consistent communication, high quality content, an understanding of tonality, style, and cadence when writing, the ability to break complex topics down to their fundamentals, thorough and quality research, and efficiency. I can write anything I set my mind to as any genre comes down to the willingness to research, consolidate findings and present them in a professional and articulate manner, even in the creative arts.

My main interest is in contemporary romance, steamy romance and fantasy, as well as writing mental health pieces.

While effective public relations requires a knowledge base, you don't need a degree for it. I've spoken to audiences on PR multiple times and met with business owners to give them a fruitful understanding of the practice. I will show you what to do (saving you money in the long run). Described by a rival community newspaper as a "big-city cousin," I've worked for publications including Screen Rant, the Associated Press, Bleacher Report, The Motley Fool and Patch. My book, "'Star Wars' Is Still Intact: Re-finding Yourself in the Age of Trump," is on Barnes & Noble shelves. My work has been seen in USA TODAY, ESPN, Pew, Comic Book, and the U.S. News & World Report. I've won 13 journalism awards over six years of working as a journalist, as part of an 11-year mass communications career overall. In total, I have written for 27 publications. The Utah chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists ended their award for best blog posts after I swept the category. I specialize in journalism/content creation and PR, including content marketing, press releases & media relations/release distribution. I've earned placements in media that include The Washington Post, USA TODAY, Yahoo! News (twice), CBS News, the Chicago Tribune (twice), MSN (twice), the Dallas Morning News (twice), a media outlet in Los Angeles and others in Chicago and Dallas, and The Washington Times (twice). I also wrote a press release that was picked up by Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Sports. I’ve done media publicity for Sony Pictures Television, members of Ukraine’s parliament during Russia’s invasion of its country, a former spokeswoman for Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, former U.S. vice presidential candidate Joe Lieberman, General James Jones, the 22nd U.S. national security advisor; Silicon Valley companies; Broadway composers; an Instagram influencer; and a tech law firm rated best-in-U.S. for five of the past seven years. I’ve also done content marketing for Microsoft. I've written press releases and earned media coverage for a governor's office, author Tyler D., a nonprofit’s affordable housing groundbreaking, Syrian refugees and LA restaurateurs in Samer and Samir A., healthcare expansion advocate Whitney D., app entrepreneur Angela R., software executive Art C., the theatrical film "Before Your Time,” and Alliance for a Better Utah. I've done media relations and earned coverage for author George A., professor Anirban M., a government access app, and an artist & publisher. I earned placement for the national non-profit Project Vote Smart. I've also been a production assistant, boom op, and/or script reader for 13 films. I worked on a Disney film crew. I have also written press releases (that’s all the assignments were) for PicoCluster for CES, a boxing non-profit for youth, an initiative to help the still-innocent vote, a tool to help children deal with stress, an entrepreneur who brought krill meat to the U.S., and a Republican man who organized an effort to oppose the nomination of Donald Trump as president. I did content marketing for a Nashville country singer and for social issues in the Middle East. I wrote a dozen-and-a-half speeches for the governor and wrote a brief used in a meeting with former President Barack Obama. I independently studied FEC documentation to confirm that former Rep. Mia Love still owed $372K after unsuitably raising it. I also found out that Love used campaign funds for Disney World and that she was missing a report on her FEC documentation where she had to report all expenditures. I liked reporting that an Illinois government cut a check for an organization for which one of its trustees does finance-related tasks. I enjoyed revealing that the Utah Transit Authority failed to hedge, resulting in a loss of $3.6 million for the agency over one year. Two weeks after I wrote about a male cheerleader record at a high school, a billboard about male cheerleaders went up. I reported that the LDS church sought tax breaks for contributions to religion, but was quiet about it when the GOP tried to pass a tax plan estimated to result in lower charitable giving. I revealed that Wyoming had a disease. I told the stories of folks who died of COVID-19. I revealed that a political party was going to endorse an independent candidate for the Senate. I exclusively reported about a study that showed that the U.S. media's legal standing may be on "shaky ground." I revealed what town halls in the wake of Trump’s 2016 presidential election said about congresspeople. I independently let the public know how they could make a FOIA request of the Mueller report. And also, that the Justice Department didn’t follow the law in the amount of time it took to respond to a publication’s FOIA request of it. I reported on China's president becoming its life ruler. I wrote about challenging the Secret Service as to accessibility to Trump. I reported on a handful of presidential campaigns.
