As a long-time professional writer I’ve written everything from 50 word product descriptions to 50,000 word eBooks on topics ranging from Ayahuasca to Zendoodle. I have spent the better part of 15 years honing my craft and I would love to put the skills I’ve developed to use for you. Prior to committing to life as a freelancer, I majored in journalism in college, a career path which led to a position as a managing editor of a community newspaper in Arizona. While I ultimately decided the life of a reporter wasn’t for me, the time I spent as a journalist taught me the importance of deadlines and how to plan out a writing project to avoid having to rush to meet them. If chosen for this opportunity you can expect my work to always come in at print quality and ahead of schedule. My time with the paper also taught me how to research new topics quickly and effectively and how to break down abstract or complicated ideas into concepts anyone can understand. As you will see from my samples, I have spent the last few years primarily ghostwriting eBooks while vetting clients and projects on my own. I’m looking to take on some new clients, however, and I feel I could bring a strong commitment to quality and professionalism to your project if given the opportunity. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions about my experience.
