"You've already made us a better company." Every day I try to live up to this accolade, recently given to me by a current client after working together for two weeks. I help companies tell a story about their product or service that resonates with the reader. I'm expert-vetted and a member of the "top 1% global independent talent" on Upwork, and I've written, edited, and managed content for Google Cloud, Accenture Song, and Sempra Energy, often focused on topics of tech and sustainability. I'm experienced with ChatGPT and regularly edit AI-generated work for clients, and I renewed my certification in SEO from Hubspot Academy in April of 2023. *** Client Testimonials: "We only let in the top 5% of freelance writers." - Superpath Marketplace "Mike McAllister is absolutely phenomenal, and on his last project, grew the profile of a major multi-billion dollar energy company by proactively marketing and positioning them for industry rewards, along with new recognition for their underrepresented innovation. Hire him immediately and don't be surprised when your company soars." - Greg C., Executive Creative Director, Accenture Song "Mike helped elevate our brand with our clients, bringing to life the innovative work we did in industry publications, award submissions, executive communications, global townhalls, and more. He is also one of the most wonderful people to work with—he’s got high EQ, is ultra-reliable, deeply collaborative across functions, and a champion of D&I. He’d be an asset to any team." -Jeffrey S., Customer Strategy Leader, Accenture Song *** I developed my instinct for narrative in part through the master’s degree program in nonfiction writing at Columbia University, where I was nonfiction editor of Columbia Journal. I continued to sharpen the instinct in my essays for The New York Times and national literary journals. Today, I bring this experience to my work in content writing, editing and copywriting. My passion is good storytelling—in every form—that connects with the head and the heart of the reader. - Over twenty years of professional writing and editing experience - Over fifteen years of blogging experience - Over seven years of marketing experience I specialize in writing and editing: - Blogs - AI-Generated Content - Website Content - Social Media - Transcript-to-Blog Adaptations - Testimonials and Biographies - Executive Messaging Writing samples available.
