    Janelle Leeson is a three-time certificate of excellence winner (via the Cat Writers' Association) and freelance writer rapidly spreading across the pages of pet publications. Her byline is found in print in DotDash Meredith's Paw Print and Centennial Media's Inside Your Cat's Mind and Inside Your Dog's Mind. Her works can be found online at Daily Paws, USA Today Network, NBCUniversal, Great Pet Care, The Dog People by Rover, Fetch by The Dodo, Cuteness, and others. Janelle doesn’t just write about pets, she dedicates her spare time to the local shelters, is the go-to Portland cat-sitter, and hopes you say hi if you bump into Janelle and her adventure cats on the trail. Janelle began writing in 2020 as a passion project for sharing how and where to travel with cats. Janelle quickly realized her decade-long career as a biologist felt muted compared to the insistent curiosity that came with content writing and reporting. So, Janelle stopped writing about endangered species and started writing more about pets. Since then, Janelle has covered domestic pet behavior and health, current events, first-hand product reviews, and e-commerce roundups. Janelle is most proud of the opportunity to share exclusive expert interviews and learned experiences with inquisitive pet parents.

    Hello! 👋 I am a web developer with a passion for technical writing. I am available for any contract technical writing work, either hourly or by project. Here's a little more about my background: I got my start in technical communications as a web development instructor at Epicodus, a code school in Portland, OR that teaches full stack web development to adults with no prior coding experience. As an instructor, I honed my communication and web development skills, supporting over 100 students to complete the program. Later I moved into people management as Director of Teaching, where I lead a team of eight teachers. When I was promoted to Director of Curriculum at Epicodus, I got to focus all of my energy on the planning, management, and development of written technical curricula. I loved this work. It crystalized my joy for technical writing, instructional design, and technical communication. Most recently I worked as a technical content manager at New Relic. In this role, I wrote and edited blog posts for the New Relic blog. I particularly enjoyed this position because I was able to use my technical writing skills and expand my skill set by learning about content marketing. Remy (they/them)

    I’ve enjoyed writing almost every day for 25 years. I've learned a lot in that time, especially asking questions to learn how I can help most, creating a clear schedule, adjusting when needed, and finishing on-time. For work, I write software documentation, scientific articles, and grant proposals, which have been funded for over $400,000. For fun, I write blog posts, short stories, and novels, one of which has 4.3 stars on Amazon. Each type of writing has improved my skills with the others, which makes me enjoy it more. When I work with a client, three issues matter most: 1. What you want 2. What I’ve learned about effective writing 3. Reaching deadlines I’ll expand on each. The first item means I ask many questions to make sure I understand what you want. I’ll also give you drafts to review. The second item includes the mechanics of writing, like grammar, brevity, and applying any style manual. The third item means that I will offer a project schedule soon after we start working together. Meeting deadlines early in a project makes it a lot easier to meet the final deadline. My qualifications include a PhD in education with an emphasis on technology. I have worked as a technical writer, computer programmer, instructional designer, and a professor in the US and UK.

    To make others feel welcome, warm, loved, and heard are my passions. I strive to achieve these things daily inside and outside of work. I want to be different and stand out in whatever career I am in and I aspire to support those around me on a consistent basis. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community making those around me feel safe is massively important and a company that does the same for me is a priority. I pride myself in having experience in the following: customer service, leadership, sales, training, scheduling, and many other things. I'm flexible, able to shift priorities when needed and I'm much like a chameleon in how to best assist my team, company, and myself. I believe everyday brings a new opportunity to shine and make those around you feel seen.
