    Hey, thanks for stopping by! 👋 I’m Kent B. and I’ve been doing PR & content writing for a decade focusing on mission-driven organizations. How did I get to this point in my career? I thank my fourth-grade teacher for that. One of my core memories was when Mrs. Ton told me how much she loved my writing. She even had me read in front of the class a short story I wrote. Sure, my face turned red from embarrassment. But deep down inside, I was jumping for joy. From that point on, I knew writing had to be at the center of my future career — and that’s exactly what I did. I've turned my love for storytelling into a career that lets me craft compelling narratives for purpose-driven organizations. Highlights include: ▪️ Working with San Francisco reporters to tell them that if children living in the city got the COVID-19 vaccine, they could enter a drawing for four years of tuition at a local university. ▪️ Promoting a clinic that helps transgender and nonbinary people safely find a voice that matches their gender expression. ▪️ Elevating an initiative focused on building leaders who understand the inequities of climate change and can work toward removing them. If you have stories like these, I’d love to help you tell them to the world. Feel free to reach out!

    I'm a book publishing and media specialist with over 30 years experience copyediting, proofreading, ghostwriting, and marketing successful nonfiction books. My greatest joy is helping an author craft the perfect book for their brand. I am equally skilled at shaping a book from idea to page; doing developmental and/or copyediting or proofreading at any stage; and brainstorming and storyboarding infographics, compelling charts and tables, and/or more whimsical or informative illustrations. I have extensive connections to excellent photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers, and can help you navigate finding and working with the right professional as needed. As a longtime publisher who has spent time on the other side of the desk, as it were, I know what makes a compelling proposal if you wish to catch the eye of a literary agent or trade publisher. For self-publishers, I work with professionals who can help to take your book from manuscript to printed copies. I have helped to develop four New York Times bestsellers with first-time authors, and shaped dozens more highly successful "category killer" nonfiction titles in topics ranging from cookbooks to popular science to style and beauty to outdoor survival. My expertise encompasses many fields, including: • Project development • Developmental editing • Copyediting • Project management • Proofreading • Ghostwriting (wide range of topics, from memoirs to art to outdoor living and more) • Writing and conceptualizing sales and marketing collateral • Consulting with small publishers in fields including: acquisitions, list-building, growing team of editors, illustrators, photographers, and/or designers. I can connect you with the right external professionals and handle briefing, corrections, and more.

    My interest in translation work comes from my love for languages. My undergraduate degree is in German and Arabic, and I have also studied French and Italian for years. I also have a JD from Berkeley. Having worked both in Europe and the US, I have extensive experience reviewing and translating French, German and Italian documents, especially in the financial and legal fields.

I am always looking for new opportunities to use my foreign-language skills in an ever-broader range of fields and applications, which has inspired this search for translation work on Upwork.

    With over a decade of dedicated experience as a technical and grant writer, my professional journey is defined by precision, clarity, and the compelling power of strategic storytelling. Throughout my career, I have consistently transformed complex technical concepts and ambitious project goals into clear, persuasive narratives that resonate deeply with diverse audiences, funding agencies, stakeholders, and organizational leaders. As both founder and principal writer of my own writing consultancy, I have mastered the intricate process of crafting targeted, outcome-focused grant proposals and technical documents. My work has secured substantial financial resources and critical support for a wide range of organizations, spanning non-profits, startups, educational institutions, and community initiatives. Each proposal I develop is tailored meticulously to align with funding guidelines, organizational missions, and strategic priorities, maximizing the potential for success and sustainability. My educational background, beginning with a Bachelor of Arts in English from Texas A&M University and further enhanced through my Master's degree in English from the University of San Diego, provided a robust foundation in literary analysis, professional writing, research methodologies, and persuasive communication. At Texas A&M, my undergraduate experience sharpened my skills in critical thinking, effective communication, and rigorous textual analysis. Subsequently, at the University of San Diego, I refined and expanded these capabilities, gaining advanced proficiency in sophisticated analytical methods and high-level academic writing. Professionally, my expertise extends beyond grant writing to encompass detailed technical documentation, including reports, user guides, policy manuals, and educational resources. My ability to convey highly technical information in accessible, reader-friendly language has positioned me as a valuable asset for organizations seeking clarity and precision in their internal and external communications. Whether documenting intricate software processes, complex scientific research, or detailed operational procedures, my work consistently ensures clarity, usability, and comprehension, resulting in increased organizational efficiency and improved stakeholder engagement. As the principal writer and owner of my consultancy, I have developed a systematic and highly effective methodology to ensure the quality, impact, and success of every project I undertake. My approach includes thorough research, comprehensive stakeholder consultations, meticulous alignment with strategic goals, and the use of compelling narrative techniques to ensure each proposal or technical document stands out in competitive environments. This meticulous process not only maximizes funding potential but also strategically positions organizations for sustainable growth, innovation, and long-term impact. Moreover, my role requires continual adaptability and a deep commitment to staying abreast of emerging trends, industry standards, and best practices in both technical and grant writing. I consistently invest in professional development opportunities and actively participate in industry forums and workshops to maintain a high level of expertise and effectiveness. My proactive approach to learning and professional growth ensures that my work remains innovative, relevant, and aligned with current funding landscapes and technical writing methodologies. Throughout my career, I have successfully partnered with diverse teams and organizational leadership, facilitating strategic discussions that clarify project goals, strengthen organizational narratives, and enhance overall communication strategies. My collaborative approach fosters productive relationships with stakeholders, building trust and ensuring project objectives are accurately represented and effectively communicated. These strong partnerships often lead to repeated engagements, referrals, and an expanded network of satisfied clients. In addition to securing millions of dollars in grants and developing a vast array of impactful technical documents, my professional impact is measured through meaningful, measurable outcomes. Organizations have expanded their programs, increased their operational capacities, and achieved their strategic objectives due, in part, to my diligent and strategic writing efforts. My capacity to deliver consistent results demonstrates a proven track record of excellence, reliability, and dedication. Ultimately, my deep commitment to excellence in grant and technical writing, combined with my extensive experience, educational foundation, and strategic approach, positions me uniquely to deliver substantial value and tangible outcomes for any organization or project. I am deeply passionate about leveraging my writing expertise to facilitate organizational growth, drive strategic initiatives, and create sustainable, impactful solutions.

    I am a Copywriter with more than a decade of experience establishing brand voice and crafting dynamic, strategic, SEO-informed messaging across web, social, CRM, OOH, broadcast and integrated 360 campaigns, I love playing in different creative spaces to produce highly original work! Over the years, in my roles, I have enjoyed: • Creating, proofreading, and editing dynamic, compelling copy for web, email, print, internal and client presentations as well as for special content projects • Pitching ideas for campaigns and launches • Partnering with department stakeholders to arrive at original, resonant messaging • Building a team and managing direct reports • Identifying and partnering with third party vendors who could help us achieve business goals; and managing these relationships • Identifying and partnering with influencers who could help us achieve business goals; and managing these relationships • Representing the company at industry events • Researching industry and audience trends to ensure work remained current and competitive • Managing budget with my Director You’ll see from my resume and portfolio, whether in an on-site or remote role, I work agilely across multiple verticals. Working for agencies like Publicis, R/GA, IF Studio, and more, I have led storytelling in collaboration with multidisciplinary team stakeholders to create culturally resonant and winning campaigns for global brands like NikeWomen and L’Oréal Paris USA. I’m proud to have helped win major client accounts, too: I was part of the pitch team that won the Allergan pharmaceutical business for Publicis, and I was the lead copywriter on the pitch team that won the L’Oréal Paris USA digital business for R/GA. I also work agilely across disciplines. One of my earliest roles was leading copy, communications strategy, and public relations for retail upstart brand Bluefly. It’s been a delight helping bring a strategic, creative approach to content creation, awareness campaigns, brand integrations, product launches, brand relaunches, and so much more. I love working with a team to develop a strategy and translate it into a message that meets the consumer where they are. I know the power of messaging that respects the intelligence of the consumer, informing and equipping them rather than making them feel they have (or are) a problem. I enjoy the roll-up-your-sleeves, all-hands-on-deck experience of concepting for a pitch. I relish the challenge of turning numbers and insights into an absorbing story for company offsites and conference decks. It’s all about content that acts as a delightful interruption from staid marketing collateral. Let’s discuss the details of your open position further.

    My BA in American Studies and Writing has informed a varied career in editorial work. From writing about pop culture as it was catapulted online and producing TV segments covering the same to helping assemble product reviews for PC World Online and writing music features for the Village Voice, my work has always come down to distilling large amounts of information for wide and general audiences, acting as a guide through that sometimes daunting amount of new material. I've had amazing opportunities such as researching in the Smithsonian to deliver a 20-page historical introduction for the official book commemorating President Bill Clinton's second inauguration and the chance to interview pop culture icons like Wille Nelson. All of this has helped me keep my editorial eye sharp.
