Hi there! My name's Melanie Green. I have been a full-time freelance writer since 2012. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from National University and my Bachelor of Arts in Writing from the University of Tampa. Before that, I worked as a full-time employee writing for Nielsen, McKinsey & Company, and The Gulf Coast Business Review. I primarily work with large, enterprise-level organizations and Fortune 500 companies. I write high-quality content and honor deadlines.

I create engaging content above the fold and below the fold to reduce your bounce rate. My focus is on evergreen content that continues to be useful to your readers and that survives the next algorithm update (while competing with high authority sites). Together, we can work toward improving your site’s domain authority through organic traffic. I can incorporate compelling backlinks (internal links and external links) and anchor text into the copy I write for your site to increase the click-through rate for your selected hyperlinks. If necessary, I am able to assess, using competitor analysis and SEO research, to find the right topics to support your content marketing efforts and increase your site’s conversion rate. I can also use Google Keyword Planner and tools like SEMRush to find effective H1 titles and H2s for posts on your site and guest blogs. This keyword analysis can reveal the current keyword competition and difficulty for the most I’m comfortable recommending the most effective: * Alt Tags * Branded Keywords * Calls to Action * Metadata * Meta Descriptions I am comfortable with white hat SEO techniques and do not incorporate black hat SEO into my writing.

Federal Procurement Specialist | Government Bid Writing | SAM.gov · SBA · GSA · FAR Compliance Small businesses leave millions in federal contract opportunities on the table every year not from lack of qualification, but from three fixable gaps: SAM.gov registration errors that trigger automatic disqualification, missing or mismatched SBA certifications that block set-aside eligibility, and proposals written for a general audience instead of the evaluation panel scoring them. I close all three gaps. With experience supporting 40+ businesses across federal, state, and local procurement including SAM.gov registration, 8(a)/WOSB/HUBZone/MBE certification submissions, GSA Multiple Award Schedule onboarding, and full RFP/RFQ proposal development, I bring end-to-end procurement strategy, not just document production. Core Competencies: 1. SAM.gov Registration & Compliance: UEI/CAGE setup, error resolution, NAICS code optimization, and renewal management 2. SBA Set-Aside Certifications : 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, MBE, DBE — full documentation, financial analysis, and submission management 3. GSA Schedule (MAS) : SIN determination, compliant pricing, Price Reductions Clause (PRC) navigation, eOffer/eMod submission 4. Federal Bid & Proposal Writing: RFP, RFQ, IFB responses structured to FAR evaluation criteria — compliance matrices, technical narratives, past performance, and management plans 5. Capability Statements: NAICS-matched, set-aside aligned, written for contracting officers and prime contractors 6. Procurement Strategy : Sources sought analysis, teaming agreements, sole-source positioning, and long-term contract pipeline planning How I work differently from generic proposal writers: Federal proposals are scored documents. Evaluators follow a rubric and most proposals fail not because the business is unqualified, but because the response wasn't structured to match how points are actually awarded. I build every proposal around the evaluation criteria, compliance matrix, and FAR requirements first. The writing follows the strategy. Ideal engagement: 1. Small and mid-sized businesses pursuing first or repeat federal awards 2. Businesses needing SBA certifications to access set-aside contract vehicles 3. Defense or civilian contractors needing DCAA-aware documentation 4. Foreign-owned entities establishing compliant U.S. contracting presence Key Accomplishments: Supported 40+ businesses through federal, state, and local procurement processes Written 100+ RFP, RFQ, and grant responses across multiple agencies and jurisdictions Registered 30+ nonprofits through IRS 501(c)(3) and supported strategic planning Successfully guided clients through WOSB, MBE, and NMSDC certification approvals To start: Send a brief description of your contracting goal or the solicitation number you're responding to. I'll assess your position and outline exactly what's needed to compete, before we discuss scope.
