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)

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.

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

Developmental Editing | Proofreading & Copyediting | Rewriting | Ghostwriting Take your writing to the next level. 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!).
