I'm an experienced writer and editor with a strong background in digital marketing, fashion and home retail, and nonfiction ghostwriting. With over a decade of experience writing for retailers including Terrain, BHLDN, Lilly Pulitzer, and Soft Surroundings, I bring expertise to both print and digital collateral, ranging from email messaging, product copy, blog posts, and paid media content to print catalogs, product packaging, and in-store marketing materials. Beyond the retail space, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and editor for a variety of clients including financial services companies, commercial real estate firms, hotel brands, and nationally-recognized design and music blogs. Balancing a wide variety of freelance projects—often on tight timelines—has increased my efficiency and organizational skills as a writer, and made me adept at quickly switching between writing styles tailored to the needs of an assignment. I have also ghostwritten two home and garden design books: Terrain: Ideas and Inspiration for Decorating the Home and Garden (2018) Terrain: The Houseplant Book (2022)

My grandfather designed and built houses. My father was a chemical engineer and a woodworker who constructed furniture during the weekend. I like to think that the building impulse is in my genes; my raw material is not wood and nails but rather words. My passion for language and story precipitated my choices in my studies and in my career. As an English teacher, I love teaching students who are preparing for college and careers. I have also worked with student writers who have gained national recognition for their fiction and poetry. I have helped people expand their writing to elaborate on details and I have helped writers reduce their writing to fit a particular word count. My MA in Writing Studies allowed me to focus on my passion: fiction and poetry. While in the program, I also worked with journalism, editing, and nonfiction of all sorts. I have written 3 books as well. My skills include: • Close reading for grammar, spelling, organization, syntax, etc. • Correcting issues with wording, voice, and sentence structure. • Providing feedback on content. • Providing editorial support for application essays. • Providing editorial support for essays and other works of nonfiction. • Assisting poets and fiction writers with development of their work. • Tailoring writing to a specific audience. • Tutoring individuals who want to improve their writing. I write with an awareness of purpose and audience. I will work to your specifications, trying to provide the support that you need for your written work.

In May 2020, I graduated from Westminster College with a bachelor's degree in English Literature where I earned an accumulative GPA of 3.95 and was initiated into Latin Honors as well as Sigma Tau Delta, an English honors society. As such, I possess the necessary skills to identify any grammatical or spelling errors and fix awkward sentence structures for multiple areas of writing. I also understand the importance of a strong working relationship and am therefore dedicated to providing my clients with a quality experience.

I bring passion to everything I do whether I'm hiking across a country, advocating for social justice, or writing creative content. If you're searching for someone who can support your projects with wit, personality, and style, please tell me about your passion and I’ll start writing. Writers have the opportunity to make readers care. But sometimes simply stating the facts is not enough to inspire readers, so I produce work in a variety of creative forms: playwriting, screenwriting, essay, poetry, letter writing, and zines. I enjoy writing about nature, feminism, social justice, queerness, and human relationships. Most of all, I love to learn and will happily write about subjects outside of these interests. I have worked as a creative writer as well as an editor. My writing practice is rigorous, not precious; I want to create the work that will best communicate your ideas. I read and research widely, which has taught me how to adapt my writing style to engage various audiences. My background in theatre has honed my collaboration skills as well as my ability to work creatively under strict deadlines. My years in food service, meanwhile, have taught me unflinching patience in high-stress situations. (I also enjoy writing comedy.) Connecting all of my work experiences is an eagerness to have thought-provoking conversations. Let's start a conversation to develop the most compelling content to elevate your passion. S U C C E S S E S: - Playwriting produced at Azuka Theatre, Trustus Theatre, The Museum of the American Revolution, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Philadelphia Theatre Week, Philadelphia SoLow Festival, and Washington College. - Residency support from Azuka Theatre, InterAct Theatre Company, Play Penn, The Orchard Project, Signal Fire, The Foundry, Writers on the Rocks, the Bearded Ladies Cabaret, and Centrum Arts. - Writing Awards: The Stewart Award for Drama, The Mary Martin Prize for Drama, The Jude & Miriam Pfister Poetry Prize, The William W. Warner Prize for Writing on the Environment, The Literary House Genre Fiction Prize, The Sophie Kerr Prize in Literature (finalist) F E E D B A C K: "Val Dunn's keen intellect and huge heart make her a gift to her collaborators, and a joy to work with... She brings light and laughter to her writing that remind us it is perfectly okay to go to frightening places, explore our own unending depths, because she and the work will guide us back to safety, once the hard work of the journey is through." - Jackie Goldfinger, The Foundry @ Play Penn "Val Dunn is unflagging and voracious in her quest to feed herself artistically. This determination, coupled with her natural gifts, make me sure that she is an artist to watch." - Sally Ollove, The Bearded Ladies Cabaret E X P E R T I S E: - Scripts / Playwriting - Creative Non-Fiction (essays) - Love Letters - Poetry - Humor / Comedy - Grammar - Editing Q U A L I F I C A T I O N S : - BA in English and Drama, minor in Creative Writing - Seven years experience writing & editing new plays for Philadelphia theatre companies - Native English speaker

I have over 35 years of bilingual (English/Spanish) writing and translation experience. I have taught English to Spanish speaking people of all ages, and Spanish to English speakers in schools, institutions, and through private tutoring. As an indie publisher, I have edited, formatted, and published books which have won awards for both content and quality of formatting/publication. I also have over 15 years experience with creating and editing newsletters, brochures, and other business documents. I am experienced in social media, and have been responsible for handling all social media for groups, businesses, and organizations. I have been published and won awards for my writing in several genres, including creative non-fiction, journalism, poetry, short stories, and plays, including some which have been produced and performed. I have nearly two decades of administrative experience and customer service in a variety of settings. Service Description: I provide translation services for all types of documents. Whether one page or book length, your project will get the same dedication to detail. I am completely bilingual and know that I can provide a true translation that is one that does not translate only the words, but the actual meaning. Actual word for word translation is not always accurate. Depending on the context of the sentence, the exact word translation could be offensive and not the actual meaning which was supposed to be conveyed. I offer formatting services for manuscripts, particularly for Amazon KDP (previously CreateSpace) specifications, as well as editing and translation services. I have well over a decade of editing newsletters, web content, and other documents for a college academic department, a church, a library, and other various kinds of businesses.

Whether you're looking to transform your content for a new audience or format, want to polish and perfect your draft, or just need help creating something new for your platform, I'm here to help. For 5+ years, I’ve put my BFA in creative writing from Emerson College and my passion for the well-written word to work by assisting others in crafting stories and articles that will resonate with their readers. So far, I've helped 500+ clients in 30+ countries to make their writing the best it can be (scroll through a few in my portfolio!). From transforming podcasts into blog posts to editing manuscripts and writing articles and product descriptions, I've done it all! I've written and edited pieces in numerous topic areas in both non-fiction and fiction, such as gardening, self-help, philosophy and spiritualism, technology, and more! With 300+ beaming reviews and counting, my past clients are clear about how much they love how communicative and thorough I am. But most of all, they appreciate how I stand by my work with a satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy with the delivery the first time, I'll revise until it’s right. Most of the time, however, one try is all it takes. To learn more about what I do, check out some of the samples of my work in my portfolio. If you like what you see, feel free to message me. I'll get back to you within 1 business day (but usually much sooner!).
