My name is Austin Owens and I am in my 7th year as an educator. Additionally, I am a sports writer and oddly enough an inspiring comedic writer. Writing has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy providing individuals with engaging content. Whether it be covering recent news in the sports world, a controversial piece to spark conversation among fan bases or giving readers a good chuckle, I am good for it.

I'm a Duke University graduate with an English degree, a strong creative writing background, and extensive online content writing experience. Working as a freelance content writer for a marketing company for the past three years, I have written over 7,000 unique, individually researched articles on subjects ranging from sports and entertainment to technology, current events, travel, and miscellaneous additional topics. I excel at creating user- and search-friendly content, and I firmly believe that high quality online content writing should consist of far more than appropriately placed buzzwords.

I am a current professional basketball player whose athletic career has sharpened my problem-solving skills, adaptability, and ability to perform in high-pressure environments. I thrive on challenge and continuous improvement, both on the court and in my writing. As a professional athlete and established NBA writer, I offer a dual perspective that is rare in digital media. I do not simply report on basketball. I live it. That insider experience informs everything from analytical articles to scripted video content, allowing my work to resonate with authenticity and tactical depth. My writing is currently featured on FanSided, where I break down complex plays, trends, and league narratives for a dedicated audience. I also independently publish Pivot Hoops on Substack, focusing on the nuanced, often overlooked stories that shape the modern NBA. In addition to sports coverage, I write professionally about food and food culture, with bylines at Food Republic. My food work centers on ingredients, cooking techniques, consumer trends, and practical kitchen knowledge, combining strong research with a clear, engaging voice tailored to an editorial audience. This experience has strengthened my ability to adapt tone, follow brand guidelines, and produce high-quality content across subject areas. My background allows me to: Write scripts and articles that capture the true drama and nuance of the NBA. Develop storylines that are compelling, accurate, and audience-focused. Analyze X’s and O’s from a player’s perspective, not just a spectator’s. Translate complex ideas—whether basketball strategy or food concepts—into accessible, engaging narratives.
